For those who don’t know, Faruqui was married to Jasmin, at a very young age, reportedly in an arranged marriage set up. However, things fell apart quickly between them and they got separated legally in 2022. The ex-couple had a son together, whose custody is handled by the comedian. Talking about his son, in one of the previous Bigg Boss 17 episodes, Munawar said, “My ex-wife is married now, and I have custody of my son. He is 5 years old. When he came back to me six months ago after I got custody, I realised what I was missing. Finally, I have him with me now. I have connected with him so much in the past 3-4 months.”
Munawar is missing his Son 🥺.
