Comedian Munawar Faruqui made his first public appearance on Friday, June 8, days after marrying Mehzabeen Kotwala. In a video on social media, the ‘Bigg Boss 17’ winner was seen blushing when photographers were congratulating him on his second marriage.

Farooqui thanked them for their wishes. This was the first time he publicly confirmed his marriage to Mehzabeen. The couple reportedly got married on May 26, 2024, in a private ceremony in the presence of family members.

Last week, pictures of the couple cutting a cake surfaced online, in which Munawar was seen in a white shirt and brown pants and Mehzabeen in a purple sharara suit.

A media outlet reported that actress Hina Khan introduced Munawar to Mehjabeen. They met two months ago at an event where Hina sent Mehjabeen to Munawar for makeup. Hina also attended his wedding.

Munawar was previously married to Jasmin, with whom he has a six-year-old son Mikail. He first spoke about his son on Kangana Ranaut’s show ‘Lock Up’ and later in the ‘Bigg Boss 17’ house. Munawar revealed that he had separated from Jasmin in 2020 and their divorce was finalised last year.

He said that his son now lives with him because his ex-wife has remarried. Mehjabeen is said to be a divorcee and mother of a 10-year-old girl.
