Munawar Faruqui’s Cryptic Support for Samay Raina
Munawar Faruqui, who is known for his provocative opinions, posted a cryptic message which the fans think was his attempt at defending Samay Raina. Munawar, in a video, metaphorically discussed the sun and said that everyone loves the sun rising and setting but resents it when it reaches its zenith.
"Doobta hua suraj achha lagta hai ya shuru hone wala suraj achha lagta hai. But suraj jab ek dum top pe pohoch jaata hai na ek dum shiddat pe, tab sabko jalan hone lagti hai." (People like the rising sun or the setting sun. But when the sun reaches the height, at its full strength, that's when everyone gets jealous.)
Fans saw this as an indirect endorsement of Samay Raina, who has been under attack for his recent scandals. Munawar also shared an Instagram story reading:
"Samay (kissing emoji) Art joh hai woh spring ki hai. Jitnaa dabage utnaa uper uthega. My G is going to come out so strong you will see."
Although Munawar did not directly say Samay's name, everyone feels that his words were said to encourage his friend at this moment.
With India-Pakistan tensions ongoing, celebrities such as Samay Raina and Munawar Faruqui are speaking out through their platform. While Samay posted a very personal experience regarding the safety of his family, Munawar did it in a symbolic way, apparently defending his friend. Their responses illustrate the social and emotional influence of geopolitics on people, even off the battlefield.
