Bigg Boss Winner Munawar Faruqui Reflects on Tragic Childhood

In a recent interview, comedian and rapper Munawar Faruqui has opened up about his difficult childhood and the events that led to his mother's tragic death. Faruqui, who won the reality show Bigg Boss 17 last year, revealed that his mother endured several hardships during her 22-year marriage.

Two years after his mother's passing, Faruqui's father suffered a paralytic attack, leaving 80% of his body paralyzed. Initially, Faruqui was very angry at his father, but he eventually found it in himself to forgive him. "Iss insaan se mai kya nafrat karu (How do I hate this person)? He doesn't have anyone besides you," Faruqui said, explaining how his father's suffering made him more forgiving.

Recounting the day his mother died, Faruqui shared that he wasn't even allowed to grieve. "They didn't let me process my mother's passing. The very next morning after she was gone, they called me and handed me a bunch of tasks and said stuff like 'don't cry'," he said. Faruqui was forced to take on family responsibilities and pretend that everything was normal, even during the last rites.

Despite the immense pain and trauma, Faruqui has managed to move forward and find happiness in his personal life. He got married to makeup artist Mehzabeen Coatwaala last year and also shares a son, Mikael, from his previous marriage to Jasmine.
