(Trigger warning: This story has details of mental and physical abuse which could be triggering for some readers.)?
Munawar Faruqui has bared his heart out on show Lock Upp once again. The comedian who was arrested earlier for a joke he apparently didn't crack, is now in the prison of the reality show hosted by Kangana Ranaut. After accepting that he is married and has a one-and-a-half-year-old son as well, Faruqui has now revealed another dark secret of his life - his mom's death.?
Faruqui confessed that his mother died by suicide. "It was the January of 2007. Sometime around 7 am, my grandmother woke me up and said that something has happened to my mother. We had to take her to the hospital. When I reached there, they were bringing my mother out of the emergency ward. She was screaming and I was holding her hand. There was a moment when doctors talked among themselves and told me to leave her hand. They forced me to do so, I realised my mom had died."
Munawar Faruqui teared up as he revealed that he still regretted not being there for his mother. "I still cannot let that go. I always think things may have been different had I slept with my mom that night, had I reached the hospital earlier. The doctors also told us that my mom had not had anything to eat for eight days. For 22 years of her married life, my mom was not happy. All my life, I saw her being beaten up or saw fights between my parents."
He then revealed that his family didn't disclose the fact that his mother drank acid to the doctors. "Hum log problem me aa jaenge" - this is what his grandmother said. Fortunately, the comedian's mother's sister's daughter was a nurse. He informed her about the same and thereafter the treatment began.?
Faruqui also said that there were many factors why she took this extreme step. One of them was a debt of Rs 3500. "My mom had a debt of ?3,500. I still regret why I did not sleep with her, why I didn¡¯t reach there earlier and why I did not have ?3,500 at the time. It was not one reason why my mom took that decision, there were many. She was strong. I still regret not asking her when I saw her quiet for a few days".?
He added that her mother didn't get respect in the house and that his entire family blamed her mother for his sister's marriage. He added that because of this incident, he never shouted, abused or fought with people in his life. "Perhaps, that is the reason I was in a mentally abused relationship but I won¡¯t blame anyone," he said.
As Munawar Faruqui narrated his ordeal everyone including Kangana Ranaut got emotional. Another contestant on the show?Zeeshan Khan shared that a similar incident happened with him too - the only difference was his mother did not suffer due to his father but because of family members. "I would go to the hospital, I would pray that she just makes it out," he said.
