Comedian Munawar Faruqui rose to national fame after his participation in Lock Upp, which he eventually also managed to win.

In a recent interview, he spoke about his love for the Bollywood star and how he’ll never joke about him.
Munawar revealed that he really respects SRK and is in awe of his journey. “Unke jaisa insan..itna hazir jawab. Itna naam aur shaurat ke baad bhi unme ek alag si kashish hai. Aap bas dekhte reh jaye (He is such a sharp and witty man. Even after so much name and fame, he has a very dinct attraction. You cannot help but admire him),” he told Bollywood Hungama.

The comedian further said that he is a fan of Shah Rukh Khan, to a level that he has never liked any other celebrity. “Dil se unki bohot respect karta hu. Kabhi mazak nahi bana paunga. As a stage art also, kya pakad hai unki. Zabardast (I really respect him a lot and can never make fun of him. As a stage art, he has an amazing hold on stage. It’s fantastic).”

 
Munawar Faruqui also mentioned how he would love to collaborate with Shah Rukh Khan sometime in life. As for a female actor, he was quick to pick Alia Bhatt.
In the same interview, he also opened up about the comedy scene in India mentioning how people are too sensitive about everything. Munawar added, “While we are evolving in everything, we are going backward when it comes to comedy. I wish there was a little more acceptance towards the same.”
