Lock Upp: Kangana praises Munawar Faruqui as he opens up about his childhood molestation
Kangana Ranaut’s reality shows Lock Upp is gaining a lot of attention with its gripping content. Recently, during the show, contestant Munawar Faruqui opened up about his molestation during his childhood. He said, “Maine yeh cheezein kabhi kisise share nahi kari kyunki I have to face them. I was a 6-year-old.. yeh aisa tha ki..bahut close family hoti hai aur kabhi kabhi… Mujhe us waqt nahi samajh aata tha aur 4-5 saal tak woh continuously chalta raha…chauthe saal woh cheezein ek baar bahut extreme hogai.”
Munawar’s revelation made everyone emotional. After the stand-up comedian revealed his secret, Lock Upp’s queen Kangana said, “Everyone gets touched inappropriately during their childhood. This is something that even I have witnessed. I was too young, and there was a guy in our hometown, who was a little older than me. So, he used to touch me inappropriately… but I didn’t understand his intention at that time.”
“That guy was exploring his sexuality, so he used to call us, asked us to strip down our clothes, and he used to check us…. we were around 6-year-old,” she added.
Further praising Munawar, the actress said, “There is a huge stigma behind this, especially for men. It is very brave of you, Munawar, that you chose this platform to share your experience.”
A few days ago, Munawar had revealed his mother’s death. He had revealed, “It was the January of 2007 when my grandmom woke me up around 7 am, saying something had happened to my mother and she was in the hospital. My mom was screaming when I saw her in the hospital as she was being brought out of the emergency ward. She had her hand on her stomach and I held her hands. After she was shifted to the civil hospital, my grandmom took me aside and told me that my mother drank acid. I asked her why were we not telling the doctors and she said ‘hum log problem me aa jaenge (we will be in trouble)’. I told my mom’s sister’s daughter, who was a nurse there and she was shocked. It was only then that her treatment began.”
