Munawar Announces Baby Girl's Arrival
On Friday, May 1st, the Lock Upp winner posted pictures of his wife and daughter on his social media account, carefully keeping their faces hidden. In the caption, he wrote, "Ghar barkat aayi. Blessed. Alhmdulillah. Dua mai khas yaad rakhe (sic)!"

Munawar and Mehzabeen's Private Wedding
Munawar Faruqui married make-up artist Mehzabeen Coatwala in May 2024. The couple kept their relationship and wedding extremely private, choosing not to make an official announcement at the time. In a recent vlog with Farah Khan, Munawar opened up about his second marriage, revealing that his decision was deeply rooted in love for his son Mikael.
"When I spent a week with him, I didn't want him to leave. I felt he needed me... more than that, I needed him. The desire to be a present father was the core reason behind the sudden decision," Munawar shared. He also spoke about his wife, saying, "She has a 10-year-old daughter. Her situation was just like mine — she felt like the missing piece in the puzzle. The emotional connection was instant. I proposed the very next day after meeting her as I had thought about it all night before taking the leap."
Family Background and Work Front
Munawar was previously married and has a son named Mikael. Mehzabeen also has a 10-year-old daughter from a previous relationship. On the professional front, Munawar was last seen hosting the show Pati, Patni Aur Panga alongside Sonali Bendre.
