“Mere Sath Sab Sweet Ban Rahe They!”: Munawar Faruqui Reveals Feeling Betrayed After His Eviction From ‘The Traitors’!

Comedian and entertainer Munawar Faruqui has opened up for the first time about his exit from the reality show The Traitors, admitting to feeling deeply hurt after realizing that contestants he trusted had planned his elimination. Appearing on Neha Dhupia and Angad Bedi’s podcast Double Date, Munawar reflected on the psychological turns of the game and the emotional impact of his unexpected eviction.

Munawar was the first contestant to be voted out in the ‘Circle of Shaq’ in the episode, making his exit one of the early turning points of the season. While the comedian and entertainer has largely maintained his composure after leaving the show, this marked the first time he spoke openly about what went through his mind when he realised that the people around him had already been plotting against him.

Talking about the experience, Munawar said, “Mere sath sab sweet ban rahe they! Mere pass aakar they were talking very sweetly and gaining my trust, that they know I am Innocent. I like trusting people, there was no stress.” (Everyone was being sweet to me. They would come to me and talk very sweetly, gaining my trust and telling me that they knew I was innocent. I like trusting people, but there was no stress.)

He further revealed how discovering that the others had allegedly pre-planned his eviction came as a shock to him. Munawar said, “Later I came to know they were all pre-planning against me. Tab dhakka laga tha, tab Bura laga tha..sab ne milkar already pre-planned kiya hua hai mere khilaaf.” (Later, when I came to know that they were all pre-planning against me, that was a shock. I felt bad at that time. Everyone had already planned together against me.)

For Munawar, the disappointment wasn’t simply about being eliminated from the game, but about the realisation that the relationships and conversations he believed were genuine may not have been what they appeared to be. Known for his ability to read people and situations, the experience also gave him a different perspective on trust, alliances and the psychological side of the game.

During his conversation with Neha Dhupia and Angad Bedi, Munawar also spoke about his journey on the show, offering an insight into how he navigated the dynamics inside the game and dealt with the uncertainty that came with being surrounded by contestants who were constantly strategising.

His candid confession gives audiences a glimpse into the emotional side of his The Traitors journey, a side that viewers had not seen after his eviction. While the game may have ended for him early, Munawar’s revelations make it clear that the experience stayed with him, particularly the feeling of discovering that the trust he placed in others was not reciprocated.
