Even then, Munawar chose to remain silent, continuing to maintain a low profile about his personal life. Reports suggested that the couple had an intimate wedding followed by a reception at ITC Maratha in Mumbai.This marks Munawar’s second marriage. He has a son from his previous marriage, whom he continues to co-parent. Meanwhile, according to reports, Mehzabeen also has a 10-year-old daughter from her earlier marriage.Earlier, speaking to Nikhil Taneja, Munawar had shared insights into his parenting approach. “I teach both of them when they are together because siblings often fight while playing. But when my son is with his female cousins or sister, I am stricter with him. He understands that he needs to be gentle and respectful towards girls. A good husband can be a good father—it’s simple logic,” he had said.Click here to follow Screen Digital on YouTube and stay updated with the latest from the world of cinema.© IE Online Media Services Pvt LtdTags:Munawar Faruqui
