Bigg Boss 17: Munawar Faruqui Opens Up On His Broken Marriage

Comedian Munawar Faruqui, known for his witty humor on stage, bared his soul as he discussed the poignant details of his broken marriage. The unscripted conversation unfolded in the garden area between Aishwarya, Mannara, and Arun. Munawar surprised both his housemates and viewers alike by delving into the challenges he faced in his early years. Talking about his early struggles, Munawar shared that he and his father moved to Mumbai after his mother’s death when he was 14. They began with a daily income of 60 rupees, and Munawar expressed how happy he was despite having little money.

Aishwarya, curious about his marriage, asked, “Teri shaadi fir kab hui, kisne karayi?” (When did you get married, and who arranged it?). In response, Munawar says, “Ghar Walo ne hi” (My family arranged it). However, when asked about why the marriage didn’t work out, Munawar chose not to answer, saying, “I don’t want to talk about her. It just didn’t work out.”

Aishwarya further inquired, “You had a son within a year of marriage, does he stay with you now?” In response, Munawar said, “Yes, within a year, he stays with me only now.” Aishwarya then delved deeper, asking, “Is she settled down now or not?” Munawar then reveals, “She got married and I didn’t even know about it. When I called Mikhail home after 10-15 days, I came to know that she already got married. I called Mikhail’s nana to ask whether the news was true. I understood that Mikhail was here with me, and she got married and left. I came to know that she went to another city.” Aishwarya expressed her surprise, asking, “Didn’t she feel that her son was not with her?” Munawar responded, “They both were not attached.”

Munawar further explains, “Gussa barbad kar deta hai, woh ghar gusse ke wajahse hi barbad hua hai” (Anger ruins everything, anger was the reason why our marriage was destroyed). When Mannara asked Munawar if he and his ex-wife’s discord was due to anger, miscommunication, or misunderstanding, the comedian chose to remain silent and said, “I don’t want to say anything.”

During the Diwali week, a task was conducted wherein the winner would receive a special present from their families. Munawar encountered a poignant moment when a video clip of his son was shared with him. After watching the video, Munawar got extremely emotional.
