Munawar Faruqui and Fukra Insaan aka Abhishek Malhan's rivalry appears to be heating up following Munawar's early elimination from The Traitors 2. What started as competitive banter now seems to have turned into a full-fledged social media exchange.

Munawar was the first ‘innocent' contestant to be eliminated from the reality show. During the first Circle of Shaq, he suspected Mallika Sherawat of being a Traitor. However, the tables turned when several contestants questioned Munawar's own gameplay. He received the highest number of votes and was eventually voted out.

After his exit, Munawar claimed that there had been "paid negative PR" against him and continued to comment on the show and its contestants through social media. In one of his videos, he appeared to take an indirect dig at Abhishek, saying that there was a lot of "thoo thoo" happening and joking that more money would have to be spent on positive publicity next time.

Munawar also pointed out that despite not being part of the show after the third episode, contestants were still taking his name. Abhishek's team seemingly responded to the dig with a post that read, "Kaun rora h bhai?"

Munawar then took another swipe at Abhishek. In a video, he sarcastically said that he had cried so much that he came up with an idea: if Abhishek wanted to win the trophy, he should participate in Alliance next year because the show involves playing in groups. He added that perhaps Abhishek might manage to win there.

Abhishek's team did not appear ready to back down. A post from Fukra Insaan's social media account read, "Bolne de takleef hua hai bechare ko," seemingly suggesting that Munawar was upset by the situation.

The exchange comes after Abhishek had already spoken confidently about his rivalry with Munawar ahead of The Traitors 2. He had earlier declared, "When there is Munawar Faruqui and Abhishek Malhan, only Abhishek Malhan wins."

With both personalities known for their competitive spirit and strong fan bases, their latest social media spat has caught the attention of reality-show followers. Whether the exchanges remain limited to online jabs or develop into a bigger rivalry remains to be seen.

For now, though, Munawar may have exited The Traitors 2, but the drama surrounding his stint on the show clearly hasn't ended yet.
