About Munawar and MehzabeenMunawar married makeup artist Mehzabeen Coatwala in 2024. The actor and stand-up comedian, who has kept his personal life private, opened up about his wedding in an episode of Farah Khan's vlog. Munawar said he decided to marry Mehzabeen because of his seven-year-old son, Mikael.In the episode, he said, “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 don’t want him to go. I felt that he needs me. That time he kept hugging me the whole time, I felt that he needs me. At that point I wondered what I could so to keep him with me. For him, I took that decision. Even her [Mehzabeen] situation was quite similar like me. She has a 10-year-old daughter. 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.”
