Munawar Faruqui once talked candidly about a very difficult and emotional time in his life after learning that his young son had a serious illness. He disclosed that the diagnosis, which involved a condition known to cause blood vessel inflammation and possibly result in heart damage, was made when his son was only one and a half years old.
Munawar recalled that trying time and revealed that the diagnosis came with a lot of financial strain. Munawar only had Rs 700 in his pocket, but his son needed life-saving injections, which cost Rs 25,000 each. He had no choice but to ask for assistance because he was struggling with the unexpected burden and couldn't afford the treatment on his own.
With the support and kindness of others, Munawar was able to raise the required funds and return with the money within just three hours. Though he managed to secure the treatment his son needed, the entire experience left him deeply humbled and grateful. It remains a defining moment in his journey, highlighting not only a father's desperation and love but also the power of community and compassion in times of crisis.
Munawar has won several reality shows including Lock Upp and Bigg Boss 17.
