PakWheels co-founder Suneel Munj is once again trending online, but this time it’s not about cars. A leaked audio clip, allegedly featuring a phone call between him and a digital media employee, has sparked a wave of criticism on social media.
In the clip, Munj is reportedly heard asking for $10,000 to appear on a podcast. Things took a sharper turn when he allegedly asked about the employee’s salary and made a dismissive comment about her budget, telling her it wasn’t even worth a fraction of what he was asking for. That remark is what really set off the backlash, with many calling it disrespectful and unnecessary.
However, not everyone jumped straight to criticizing Munj. A good number of social media users pointed out that only a portion of the call was made public, and questioned why the rest was left out. Some argued that hearing just one side of a longer conversation isn’t fair, and that context matters before judging someone completely. Others joked about the situation, with one comparing his fee demand to that of a movie star, while another recalled his recent controversy over selling autographed footballs during the World Cup.
Munj is a well-known name in Pakistan’s automotive space, recognized for his car review videos and his role in growing PakWheels into the country’s leading auto marketplace. This isn’t the first time he’s found himself at the center of online debate, but this particular incident has raised fresh questions about how leaked clips are shared and understood.
