Munawar may rule millions of hearts today but there was a time when his family was facing financial problems. Before he moved to Mumbai in 2007, his family faced a financial crisis and at that time the comedian had to support his family by selling samosas. Given the circumstances of the family, Manwar Faruqui used to work in a pottery shop in Mumbai. For this work, he was paid only 60 rupees per day.

Munawar has also worked as a graphic designer. In the year 2017, he started working in comedy, and now he is the most loved stand-up comedian in India and is very popular in Pakistan too.
