Did Munawar Faruqui’s Number Just Get Leaked? Fans Lose It After Receiving A ‘Reply’

Mumbai’s favourite mischief-maker is back at it and this time, he managed to fool the entire internet with nothing more than a phone number.

Social media went into meltdown yesterday when a fan page “accidentally” leaked what looked like Munawar Faruqui’s personal number. Within minutes, fans began zooming into screenshots, decoding digits, forwarding the number in groups, and whispering, “Bhai… yeh sach mein Munawar ka number lag raha hai.”

Chaos spread across timelines faster than a meme. Some fans dialed instantly, others sent heartfelt paragraphs, and many waited with bated breath hoping for a miracle reply.

But Here’s The Twist No One Saw Coming

Just when fans thought someone had messed up in a massive way, Munawar dropped the bomb:
The “leak” was actually a prank.

A perfectly executed, perfectly cheeky Munawar-style prank.

Anyone who messaged the viral number expecting Munawar on the other end received a video from the man himself saying:
“Yeh phone number fake hai… par Arif ka show ekdum asli. First Copy Season 2 is now streaming on Amazon MX Player for free.”

Only Munawar could turn a ‘scandal’ into a punchline.

A Viral Moment Turned into a Masterstroke

What started as a supposed slip-up became an organic, hilarious promotional moment for First Copy Season 2, which has been winning praise for its gritty storytelling and Faruqui’s powerful performance as Arif- a man battling betrayal, ambition and survival in early-2000s Mumbai.

Alongside Munawar, the series stars Krystle D’Souza, Gulshan Grover, Saqib Ayub, Ashi Singh, Meiyang Chang, Inam Ul Haq, Raza Murad, with Nawab Shah joining the ensemble this season.

Fans are calling the stunt “the most Munawar thing ever” smooth, smart, and packed with mischief.

And once again, he proves that nobody blends humour and hype quite like him.
