Why did Munawar Faruqui marry Mehzabeen Coatwala just 1 month after meeting her? Bigg Boss 17 winner reveals
Munawar Faruqui reveals story behind marriage with Mehzabeen
When Farah Khan teased Munawar Faruqui about glowing and mentioned that marriage suits him, Munawar responded, "Zindagi mein jab sukoon ho na, tab noor aa jaata hai (When life is peaceful, you glow).
Reflecting on his time in Bigg Boss 17, Farah noted that he had a rollercoaster journey, to which Munawar agreed. She playfully teased him for being secretive, suggesting he was talking to someone, loving someone else, and then marrying a different girl.
Munawar confessed, "Maine jisse shaadi ki, woh shaadi ek mahine pehle hi fix hui thi (I got married to a girl with whom my marriage was fixed a month ago)."
Farah asked if he had no plans for marriage while he was in the Bigg Boss 17 house, and Munawar confirmed this, explaining that people misunderstood him because he didn't make public statements. He revealed that while in Bigg Boss 17, he wasn't even aware of who his future wife would be.
Munawar Faruqui shared that after Bigg Boss 17, he became busy with work while his son, Mikael, stayed with his sister. He spent about 6-7 days with his son, but before leaving, he realized how much Mikael needed him, as he would constantly hug him. This realization prompted Munawar to think about how to keep his son with him.
Discussing his decision to marry again, Munawar admitted, "For him (his son), I took that decision." Farah inquired about his wife, Mehzabeen Coatwala, and Munawar explained, "Unka situation kaafi similar tha mujse (Her situation is very similar to mine). She has a 10-year-old daughter."
Farah referred to it as a blended family. Munawar shared that after realising that his son needs to be with him, he then quickly asked Mehazbeen for marriage. Munawar asked her the next day, "Are you okay marrying me?"
Farah questioned him about the quick decision. Munawar replied that he took a full night to think it over before deciding, as he wanted to keep his son Mikael with him. Later, Munawar shared that he even cooks for his wife sometimes, and Farah praised him.

Munawar Faruqui Shuts Down Farah Khan For Comparing His Jail Term To Bigg Boss: 'It's Offensive'
Munawar Faruqui was arrested in January 2021 after a complaint was filed against him for allegedly hurting religious sentiments during one of his shows in Indore, Madhya Pradesh. When Farah Khan recently sat down for a chat with Munawar Faruqui for her YouTube vlog, she seemingly left the comedian a little disappointed. It all started after Munawar opened up about his time in jail and talked about the intense environment in Bigg Boss. However, when Farah asked the stand-up comedian, 'Which was worse? Jail or Bigg Boss?", Munawar didn't hesitate and responded by saying, 'You can't even compare. It's offensive to compare." Munawar Faruqui's response seemingly shook Farah, who then decided to lighten the mood by asking, 'Which had more irritating people?" To this, Munawar quickly replied, 'Bigg Boss." When And Why Was Munawar Faruqui Jailed? Munawar Faruqui was arrested in January 2021 after a complaint was filed against him for allegedly hurting religious sentiments during one of his shows in Indore, Madhya Pradesh. According to police, the complainant overheard 'rehearsal jokes' that the Mumbai-based artist was going to crack on his show. The complaint was filed by Eklavya Singh Gaur (36), son of local BJP MLA Malini Laxman Singh Gaur, based on which Faruqui and four others were arrested, police said. Gaur and his associates had gone to the show as an audience, where they objected to the comments and created a ruckus over it. They also forced the event to stop. The comedian had to stay in jail for 37 days but was later granted bail by the Supreme Court. Later in November of the same year, he took to social media and announced that he had quit stand-up comedy. Back then, the comedian had issued a statement and alleged that 12 of his shows were cancelled in just two months due to threats of vandalism. Meanwhile, on the work front, Munawar Faruqui was recently seen as a special guest on Laughter Chefs season 2. Besides this, he also made his acting debut recently. His web series, First Copy, is currently streaming on Amazon MX Player.

In a candid and emotional exchange on Farah Khan 's latest vlog, Bigg Boss 17 winner Munawar Faruqui opened up about his life experiences, comparing the challenges of his time in jail to the intense environment of Bigg Boss. When Farah asked him directly, 'Which was worse? Jail or Bigg Boss?', Munawar didn't hesitate to respond, 'You can't even compare. It's offensive to compare.' Farah, visibly moved, reminded Munawar not to take stress and acknowledged the gravity of what he's endured. Lightening the mood, she cheekily asked, 'Which had more irritating people?' to which Munawar quickly replied, 'Bigg Boss.' Recalling their first meeting, Farah revealed how impressed she was with Munawar's self-assurance even before the show began. 'I met him one month before Bigg Boss. He was shooting a video for Raj Kundra and told me, 'Ma'am dekhna, trophy jeet ke aunga.' He was very confident,' she shared. However, she admitted that midway through the show, she was concerned about his journey. 'I felt your game might end in the middle. You became the tragedy king,' she said. Munawar agreed but highlighted the importance of the full experience. Farah added, 'Yes, pre-climax mein hero ka down aana zaroori hai.' Talking about his fan following, Munawar reflected on the overwhelming love he continues to receive. 'Even if I go for namaz, I see the crowd and it makes me immensely happy,' he said. 'I've always been transparent about where I come from and people relate to that.' This conversation offered a rare glimpse into Munawar's vulnerability, resilience, and gratitude, with Farah's warmth bringing out his most honest self — a man shaped by hardship, but defined by hope.
