Munawar Faruqui has gained a massive fan following over the years and successfully transitioned from comedy to showbiz. Amid this grand success, he talked about his struggle days and recalled a scary situation when he only had Rs 700-800 while his son was dealing with Kawasaki disease.
While speaking to Janice Sequeira, Munawar shared, “That situation scares me. My son was one and a half years old back then. He fell ill, and for 2-3 days, his condition didn’t improve. After taking him to the hospital, we discovered he had Kawasaki disease. Three injections were required, each costing Rs 25,000. I needed Rs 75,000 but had only Rs 700-800 in my wallet.”
“I smiled casually at the doctor, assuring him I’d arrange the money. But as I stepped out, I froze for 30-40 minutes, unable to think. It was the heaviest moment of my life,” he added.
Munawar revealed that he was relieved that he could arrange the money but was sad because it wasn’t his money. He said, “I traveled to Mumbai Central, collected the money, and returned within three hours. While I was relieved, I couldn’t smile because it wasn’t my money.”
