A strong personality Munawar Faruqui, who is one of the biggest stand up comics in India, got a little emotional when he went down memory lane and recalled his tough times at the age of 13.
In a recent episode of Bigg Boss, Munawar, who has broken records on social media with over 1 million tweets, was seen having a conversation with co-housemates Rinku Dhawan, Neil Bhatt and Aishwarya Sharma Bhatt. Rinku asked Munawar about how he lost his mother, to which he replied, "Suicide". Aishwarya then questioned what his age was when he faced this, "13 saal", he said.
Talking about the reasons as to why this happened, an emotional Munawar said: "Lot of reasons, unhappy married life was there, karza, there was a lot of debt on dad. My mother had a lot of debt too. It was humiliating at that time. It was a tough time. I left going to school. I used to work. Strange. It was a debt of only Rs. 3500."
He also recalled having limited meals in his childhood. "Since childhood, we had roti and dal in lunch. In dinner, we had the same lunch plus rice, we never had a third vegetable in our meals", he said. Munawar had also opened up about his tough childhood in his last reality show Lock Upp, hosted by Kangana Ranaut and Karan Kundrra. He had won the Alt Balaji show last year.
Whenever #MunawarFaruqui talks about his mother, I get so emotional.

He was just 13 when his mother passed away, he started working when he was about 17, no wonder why he's so mature and sensible. "Waqt insaan ko umar se pehle zimmedar bana deta h"
