Renowned singer Justin Bieber recently took to Instagram to reveal to his followers that he has a rare syndrome called Ramsay Hunt Syndrome which causes facial paralysis. Due to this, the right side of the singer's face is paralyzed. Stand-up comedian and Lock Upp winner Munawar Faruqui found himself in a sticky situation after he posted a joke around Justin's condition on social media.
Referring to Justin Bieber’s revelation that a viral disease has temporarily paralyzed one side of his face, Munawar posted a joke, taking a dig at the political scenario in India. “Dear Justin Bieber, i can totally understand. Even here in india right side not working properly (sic),” he posted on social media.
Several fans and followers lashed out at Munawar for his comment on Justin's illness. “Making jokes about someone’s illness just shows how jahil you are… It doesn’t make you funny,” wrote a social media user, while another added, “Wtf?? What’s so funny about this, u think making a joke about somebody’s illness is funny?” With many of his followers including actors Prince Narula and Pragati Mehra laughed on his post, another user mentioned how the joke wasn’t funny. They wrote, “You all think this is funny????”
