Kangana Ranaut's reality show Lock Upp is helping the contestants face their inner demons and share the darkest secrets of their lives in front of their fans. In a recent episode, the actress questioned Munawar Faruqui about a viral picture. In the picture, the comedian posed with a woman and a child. The viral picture raised many eyebrows and people wondered whether Munawar was secretly married.

When Kangana showed him the picture, Munawar said, "I don't want to talk about this. Not on social media, not on a platform like Lock Upp. This is not something I want to talk about." Kangana further added that women get attracted to married men as they seem to be mature. The actress advised Munawar to share his side of the story and clear the confusion.

He clarified, "I am not hiding anything, but we have been separate for the past one and a half years. Court ki cheezein ho rahi hain (The matter is in the court) and I do not want to discuss that. It has been difficult."

When Saisha Shinde told him to talk about the secret openly, Munawar stated, "I do not want to talk about things that do not matter anymore. We do not stay together. I am going through so many things at the same time, I do not want to answer about more things." The comedian further shared, "There are so many tags on me already. I do not want anymore of that. This is mentally consuming. It has been bothering me for four years. Things are in the court, I will say something and then people want to know more. I do not want to get into that. I was trying to make things better, but it was not to be. Whatever I am doing right now, it is for the young one (son)."

Anjali Arora and Poonam Pandey tried to talk to him. Munawar said he wasn't in the right state of mind to discuss it. The comedian got emotional.
