Bigg Boss 17 champion and stand-up comedian Munawar Faruqui's most recent show, Hafta Vasooli, has run afoul of the law. A complaint has been filed against the JioHotstar-streamed satirical newsroom comedy, claiming that it offends religious feelings and encourages profanity. There have also been calls for the show to be banned.

According to the most recent information, a complaint has been made against Hafta Vasooli, which has led to controversy. It claims that the program promotes profanity and offends religious feelings. Social media is ablaze with news of the complainant's plea for a ban.

In accordance with BNS Sections 196, 299, and 353 as well as the IT Act and other pertinent laws, advocate Amita Sachdeva has lodged a complaint against Hafta Vasooli and requested a formal complaint. According to the complaint, the show offends a number of religions, transgresses cultural norms, and pollutes society and young minds.

The other pertinent passages, he said, promoted vulgarity, insulted other religions, violated cultural values, and contaminated society and young minds. The Hindu Janajagruti Samiti had previously objected against Hafta Vasooli as well. The group called on JioHotstar to act in a tweet on X, alleging that the show is offensive and has an impact on moral principles.

The startling comment quickly sparked intense criticism, and Ranveer Allahbadia was the target of several formal complaints. On January 2, 2021, Munawar and four other stand-up comedians were taken into custody on charges of offending religious feelings. After 35 days in custody, they were released on bail.
