After being taunted about his hidden second marriage, to which the stand-up comedian replied, "The thing is, the person with whom I got married, the date got fixed just a month before it. I did not know her when I went to Bigg Boss. People tend to think so much about my life, and I can't feed into that gossip."

Munawar also added, "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 didn't want him to go. I felt that he needed me. That time, he kept hugging me the whole time. I felt that he needed me.”

Further, he said, "At that point, I wondered what I could do to keep him with me. For him, I took that decision. Even her (Mehzabeen’s) situation was quite similar to mine. 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."
