MUMBAI: Anjali Arora, a name that hardly needs an introduction in the entertainment world, has once again found herself making headlines this time not for a project, but due to a personal revelation.

The popular social media influencer, who shot to fame after her appearance on the reality show Lock Upp Season 1, quickly became a household name.

With a massive fan following and a string of music videos and digital content to her credit, Anjali had maintained a strong presence online. However, in recent times, she has kept a relatively low profile and hasn't signed any new projects, prompting fans to wonder about her next move.

In a recent podcast with Elvish Yadav, Anjali made a rather surprising disclosure: she revealed that the latest person she had blocked on her phone was none other than fellow Lock Upp contestant Munawar Faruqui.

Munawar, who not only won Lock Upp but also earned widespread admiration for his honest and grounded personality, quickly responded via social media. In a sharp counter, he confirmed that he too had blocked Anjali and went as far as saying that “she doesn’t exist” for him anymore.

Munawar’s journey post-Lock Upp has been remarkable. After clinching the trophy, a cash prize of ₹20 lakhs, and a brand-new car, he went on to emerge victorious once again in Bigg Boss Season 16, adding another ₹50 lakhs to his tally.

His straightforward demeanour and natural charm made him a fan favourite, with many rooting for his win from the very beginning.

Despite his immense popularity, Munawar has kept a low profile on the project front in recent months. However, there’s buzz that he may soon return to reality television, with his name being linked to the upcoming season of Khatron Ke Khiladi.

As for the equation between Anjali and Munawar, it's clear that the once-close bond the two shared during Lock Upp has now completely deteriorated. With both stars confirming they've blocked each other, fans are left speculating about what truly went wrong behind the scenes.

For now, it seems reconciliation is not on the cards, and the rift between these two popular personalities continues to deepen.
