Munawar Faruqui Reveals Hating Himself
While conversing with Sania Mirza on her podcast, Munawar Faruqui stated that after Bigg Boss 20, for two to three months, there was a lot of attention on his life. He stated that he was married before and had a son, Mikael, who was 5-6 at the time. He revealed that his then-wife was getting married, adding, “She was not taking him, so I could have my child now.” The comedian revealed that his child needed considerable care. At first, he asked his sister to look after him for 6 months, after which he would take care of the little one following his exit from the reality show. Munawar stated that after he came back, he realised that the female attention he received was not good for him or his life, adding that it wasn’t good for his child and he was doing things he did not like. He stated that he would say his namaz and cry while doing so, asking to be settled. He revealed locking himself in a living room for 3-4 days, adding that the world was waiting for him outside; everything was so good; however, he saw that the moment he stepped outside, he had started hating himself. He didn’t like that life, and according to him, that was a sign he wanted to get married.
