Before entering the show, Munawar talked about whether his Lock Upp win will help in Bigg Boss or not.

“It is never the same show. When the contestants are different, the show is different. For example, if you play carrom with one person and then with some other person, it is not the same. You played carrom only but the competition was different every time. So, I don’t think that because the format of Bigg Boss and Lock Upp is the same, it would be easy for me. This will not happen as there will be some tough competitors even in Bigg Boss.”  Munawar was quoted as saying by Bollywood Life.

Bigg Boss is a big show, a big platform so if you get something like Bigg Boss, there is nothing better than this.”
