Bigg Boss 17: Munawar Faruqui on ex-wife
Munawar began by recounting his early struggles, disclosing that after the death of his mother at the age of 14, he and his father relocated to Mumbai. With a meager income of 60 Rs. ($0.72) per day, Munawar expressed contentment despite financial constraints. The comedian’s usual privacy regarding his divorce was broken soon. He shared a few aspects of his marriage when questioned by Aishwarya, Arun, and Mannara.
When asked about the circumstances surrounding his marriage, Munawar disclosed that it was arranged by his family. However, he chose not to go into the reasons behind the marriage’s failure. He stated, “I don’t want to say about her, but it didn’t work out.”
The conversation took an even more intimate turn when Aishwarya asked about the birth of Munawar’s son soon after marriage. Munawar shared the emotional stress he faces after discovering that his ex-wife remarried while his son was in his custody. The comedian confirmed this information by contacting his son’s maternal grandfather.
Aishwarya probed further by questioning whether Munawar’s ex-wife seemed indifferent about their son not being with her. Munawar shook his head in denial and defended her, urging against judgment, acknowledging that people take necessary steps to move on in life. He emphasized the destructive impact of anger on relationships, stating, “Gussa barbad kar deta hai, woh ghar gusse ke wajahse hi barbad hua hai (Anger ruins everything, anger was the reason why their marriage was destroyed).”
Despite the emotional nature of the conversation, Munawar chose not to elaborate on whether their relationship suffered due to anger, miscommunication, or misunderstanding, responding with a simple, “I don’t want to say anything.”
