Munawar Faruqui was enjoying a lot of fame after Bigg Boss when he decided to get married for the sake of his son.
Munawar Faruqui was enjoying his newfound fame after participating in Bigg Boss in 2023. His love life had started becoming a topic of gossip, and as Munawar came out of the show in January 2024, he found his popularity increasing multifold. And just as he was at the peak of his success, he decided to marry Mehzabeen Abdul Rehman. In a recent interview, Munawar explained why he took this decision, and also revealed what he has learnt from his wife.
In a conversation with Prakhar Gupta on his YouTube channel, Munawar revealed, “I was getting a lot of attention after Bigg Boss and at that time I was thinking, ‘What am I doing?’ I just want to find love from someone and settle down and have a family. This is the right time for me to get married.” Munawar’s former girlfriends on the reality show were often talked about, but the world was shocked when he married Mehjabeen. Mehjabeen was a woman he met after Bigg Boss and they got married after three months.
“She came into my life and we decided to get married and after that we fell in love. I am very lucky and I am very happy that I took this decision,” he said. Munawar was previously married and has a son Mikail from that marriage. Talking about his previous heartbreak, he said, “After that experience in life, I started behaving like a villain. I started hating the world. I used to think that everyone is selfish and everything is temporary. Mentally, I was also in the same state.” He further added, “When you talk about therapy, I know that Namaaz is the therapy.”
He and his wife are raising two children – his son is from his previous marriage and his daughter is from her previous marriage. When Munawar was asked what he has learnt from his wife, he said that he believes she is more practical when it comes to raising children. He said, “I have learnt from her to value people. She knows how to value people. The way she takes care of the children… it is not that she showers immense love on them, but she is very practical about the fact that some things are not good for children.” He said that they had a fight a few days ago, and that’s when he realised that she was thinking about raising her children holistically. “A few days ago, we had an argument. I was telling her that if the child is asking for water, don’t make him wait like that. She said, yes, he is given water whenever he wants, but she said, look, it won’t always be like that. It is important to prepare children for every situation. And then I realised, yes, how can I forget that? Here, you are thinking that you have to take care of your child and he is getting water, but at the same time, you also have to prepare them for the fact that you should know how to get a glass of water for yourself. They should not think that water will come only when you shout. So these small things that you often ignore as a father, she can look into,” he said.
