Munawar Faruqui and Abhishek Malhan, better known as Fukra Insaan, appear to be trading barbs after the former’s early exit from The Traitors Season 2. What began with Munawar alleging “paid negative PR” against him has now turned into a series of social media posts, with both sides taking digs at each other.
Munawar Faruqui Takes A Dig At Abhishek Malhan
Following his elimination, Munawar shared multiple posts and reels claiming that negative publicity had been orchestrated against him. He later uploaded another video that appeared to be aimed at Abhishek.
Without directly naming him, Munawar said, “Agle (show) mein aur paisa daalna padega positive karane ke liye, itna thoo thoo ho raha hai bhai.”

Munawar also pointed out that despite his absence from the third episode of The Traitors Season 2, his name continued to come up among the contestants.
Soon after, a post from Abhishek’s social media account read, “Kaun rora h bhai?”
Munawar Responds, Takes ‘Alliance’ Jibe
Munawar did not leave the remark unanswered. Responding with another video, he joked that he had cried extensively before suggesting where Abhishek should compete if he wanted to win a trophy.
“To doston main na bhot roya, itna roya roya… mereko ek khayal aaya rote waqt ki agar agle ko jeetne ka hai matlab agar isko chahiye trophy jeetna hai to next year Alliance mein jaye kyunki udhar na group mein khelna hota hai. Shayad jeet jaye udhar,” Munawar said.
The exchange continued from Abhishek’s side as well. Another post shared from his account read, “Bolne de takleef hua hai bechare ko.”
Neither Munawar nor Abhishek has directly named the other in these remarks, but the timing and nature of the posts have fuelled speculation about a growing feud between the two contestants.
Why Was Munawar Eliminated From The Traitors?
Munawar became the first Innocent to be voted out of The Traitors Season 2. During the first Circle of Shaq, he identified Mallika Sherawat as someone he suspected of being a Traitor.
The discussion, however, quickly turned against him. Several contestants questioned Munawar’s gameplay and suspected that he himself could be a Traitor. With the highest number of votes against him, he was eliminated from the competition.
After leaving the show, Munawar maintained that he had been an Innocent. He also described his fellow contestants as an “insecure bunch” and claimed they had targeted him because they considered him a strong player.
Meanwhile, the social media back-and-forth with Abhishek has ensured that Munawar remains part of the conversation even after his exit.
The Traitors Season 2 streams on Prime Video, with new episodes releasing every Thursday.
