Munawar Faruqui, a well-known stand-up comedian, rapper, and singer, has recently bought a luxurious apartment in Mumbai for Rs. 6.09 crore. This new home is located in a high-rise building in the upscale neighborhood of New Cuffe Parade, Wadala. The information about the purchase was confirmed by property documents reviewed by Square Yards.
Wadala has become a popular area for real estate, mainly because of its great location and easy access to Mumbai’s financial hub, Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC). This area offers a mix of residential and commercial properties, making it a favorite among celebrities and corporate buyers alike.
Faruqui’s new apartment is in a premium project called Lodha Aura, which is currently under construction. The building, developed by Macrotech Developers Limited (part of the Lodha Group), consists of 40 stories and features luxurious 3 BHK and 4 BHK apartments. The project is designed to provide high-end amenities and a comfortable living experience. Faruqui purchased his apartment directly from the developer, making it a primary market transaction.
The apartment has a spacious area of 164.25 square meters, which is about 1,768 square feet. It also includes three dedicated parking spaces, which is a great advantage in a busy city like Mumbai. The transaction was completed in September 2024 and included a stamp duty of Rs. 36.6 lakh and a registration fee of Rs. 30,000.

He started gaining a large following on YouTube with videos like “Dawood, Yamraaj & Aurat” in 2020 and “Ghost Story” in 2021.
