Meet The Real Life ‘Munna Bhaiya’ Of Mirzapur

On October 29, 2009, Bajrangi was finally caught by Mumbai Police from a slum. Despite being behind the bars, he participated in politics and elections in 2012 Uttar Pradesh Assembly polls from Mariyahu in Jaunpur as Apna Dal contestant. Thanks to the limited education, he was shown the exit by the common public.

His good connections with the political leaders helped him to be shifted from one jail to the other in the midst of his term. His infamous term came to an end when he was finally shot by Sunil Rathi in July 2018, a prison inmate and a rival gang-member in Baghpat jail. He was shifted to that jail for a brief period for his court appearance in an extortion case. It is believed that this was a planned murder and the case is still under investigation.

Coming back to Mirzapur, the makers of the show very clearly states that this series has absolutely no connection to the real-life of Munna Bajrangi whatsoever. However, the character of Divyendu Sharma bears a stark resemblance to the real-life Munna Bajrangi.

The second season for Mirzapur has already proven to be an impeccable stunt in the roster of Indian web-series. However, fans believe that it has fallen from its actual grace and is not as good as season 1.

In the second season, it is shown how Kaleen Bhaiya pledges to make his son Munna Tripathi the rightful heir of the legacy in Mirzapur. However, it won’t be a cakewalk as Guddu Pandit has vowed for vengeance for the murder of his love, Sweety.
