Salman Khan`s Bigg Boss 17 went on air on Sunday. Comedian Munawar Faruqui is one of the 17 contestants of the reality show. He has been the winner of the first season of Lock Upp. In an exclusive conversation with Mid-Day.com, Munawar spoke about the pressure that comes along after winning a reality show. Talking about signing Bigg Boss 17 post-Lock Upp, the comedian said it is a great opportunity for him.

Munawar said in the interview, "Fans and people who saw me on Lock Upp gave me so much love. They wanted to see more of me. After OTT, I got a chance to feature on television. So, I looked at it as a major opportunity and I wanted to do TV. If we are coming on TV for the first time and too in such a big show, then it will be a treat for the fans and the audience."
