Bigg Boss 17 winner and standup comedian Munawar Faruqui tied the knot last year with make-up artist Mehzabeen Coatwala. For a long time, the comedian stayed in the limelight for his controversial love life and accusations of allegedly cheating on his then-girlfriend. Soon after winning Salman Khan’s reality show in 2024, Munawar Faruqui surprised everyone as he got married to Mehzabeen Coatwala. It was a private ceremony and the comedian did not post any details about it on social media. Several days later, the news of his wedding leaked only after one of his fans posted details about the same on social media.

Munawar Faruqui recently appeared on Farah Khan’s YouTube channel and opened up about his decision to get married. Farah Khan complimented Munawar for being the most secretive person she had ever met as he got married so suddenly without telling anyone. To this, Munawar replied, “The thing is the person with whom I got married, the date got fixed just a month before it. I did not know her when I went to Bigg Boss. People tend to think so much about my life, and I can't feed into that gossip.”

He further added that he decided to marry Mehzabeen for his son Mikael. He shared, “When I came out of Bigg Boss, I was busy with a lot of work. At that time, Mikael was living with my sister then. He was with me for a week and we spent a lot of time together. When he was leaving, I felt like I didn’t want him to go. I felt that he needed me. That time, he kept hugging me the whole time, and I felt that he needed me. At that point, I wondered what I could do to keep him with me. For him, I took that decision.”

I asked her the next day, ‘Are you okay marrying me?’ I stayed with that decision the whole night. I felt that Mikael should stay with me, I was just praying for that.”
