Munawar Faruqui's son rushed to hospital. Wife Mehzabeen cautions parents: ‘Keep an eye on…'
Stand-up comic and reality TV personality Munawar Faruqui , along with his wife, Mehzabeen, are navigating an emotionally exhausting phase as Munawar's son, Mikhail, has been admitted to a hospital due to a viral infection. The child, who is just seven years old, is currently under medical care, and Mehzabeen has been constantly at his side. In a recent update through her Instagram Stories, Mehzabeen urged parents to maintain good hygiene practices for their children to prevent such illnesses. She shared the circumstances that led to Mikhail's hospitalisation, making a heartfelt appeal to fellow parents to stay alert during the ongoing wave of viral infections. Emotional Photos from the Hospital Shared by Mehzabeen To provide a glimpse into their current struggle, Mehzabeen uploaded two poignant photographs of Mikhail from the hospital on her Instagram handle. In one image, Mikhail is shown leaning on Mehzabeen's chest, appearing tired and visibly unwell. Another picture showed the little boy holding his stepmother's hand, while a bandage on his own hand suggested he had undergone a medical procedure—possibly an injection or IV treatment. These images conveyed both the severity of the child's condition and the emotional toll it has taken on the family. Alongside the pictures, Mehzabeen included a message, urging all parents to be vigilant about their children's cleanliness, especially during periods of widespread infections. "With the viral infections going around, let's be extra cautious. Keep an eye on your kids' hygiene and take care! Get well soon, my baby boy...." she wrote. Mehzabeen's Devotion and Parental Advice In another Instagram update, Mehzabeen posted a fresh photograph with Mikhail, showing her continued presence at his side. Her prayers for her stepson's swift recovery reflected her maternal affection and personal anguish. For any parent, seeing their child confined to a hospital bed is one of the most painful experiences imaginable. While Mehzabeen expressed her emotions and advice openly through social media, Munawar chose not to repost or comment on her stories. Nonetheless, the couple is united in their concern for Mikhail's well-being. Mehzabeen's posts weren't just personal—they also served as a broader reminder to parents to adopt preventive measures against infections. Mikhail's Background and Family Dynamics Mikhail is Munawar's son from his previous marriage to Jasmine. Despite not being his biological mother, Mehzabeen has embraced Mikhail as her own, demonstrating immense love and commitment. During a prior interview with filmmaker Farah Khan on her YouTube channel, Munawar had spoken about a moment when his son was leaving, saying that it was then he truly understood his role and emotions as a father. Interestingly, Mehzabeen also has a 10-year-old daughter named Samaira from a past relationship. The couple tied the knot in a private ceremony in May 2024, and reports suggest that actress Hina Khan was instrumental in bringing them together. Who Is Mehzabeen? Professionally, Mehzabeen Coatwala is a makeup artist known for working with prominent figures from the entertainment industry. Her clientele includes Bollywood actors R. Madhavan and Varun Dhawan, as well as Dhanashree Verma, who is married to cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal. Her Instagram bio mentions that she divides her time between Dubai and Mumbai. With a following of over 29,000 people on Instagram, she has built a notable presence in the beauty industry. Like Munawar, this is also Mehzabeen's second marriage, as confirmed by a report from India Times.

She was the No. 2 recruit in the nation in high school, where she batted .558 and smashed 25 homers. Her rise reflects years of hard work and a drive to excel independently of her famous uncle. View this post on Instagram A post shared by ColorsTV (@colorstv) Maya's mother, Maureen Brady, is a former All-American pitcher at Fresno State, cementing softball as a family passion long before Maya took the stage. The athletic talent runs deep, and Maya is continuing that tradition with her own mark.

Elli AvrRam's past with cricketer Hardik Pandya continues to intrigue fans, despite rumours of her current relationship with Ashish Chanchlani. Their speculated romance, marked by public appearances and family events, ended without official confirmation. Elli's reaction to Pandya's 'Koffee With Karan' controversy and a cryptic post after his engagement to Natasa Stankovic fueled further speculation. While the actress is currently rumoured to be dating influencer Ashish Chanchlani , her past link-up with cricketer Hardik Pandya continues to intrigue fans. From attending family functions to reacting to his Koffee With Karan controversy and sharing a cryptic post after his engagement to Natasa Stankovic — Elli and Hardik's rumored romance had all the makings of a classic celeb love story. Here's a look back at their whirlwind equation and where things stand today. Spotted Together, Sparking Dating Buzz Elli and Hardik were frequently spotted together a few years ago, sparking strong dating rumours. From cozy public appearances to Elli reportedly joining him on cricket tours, their bond grabbed attention. However, despite the buzz, neither of them ever confirmed being in a relationship. Family Functions and Fuelled Speculation The rumored couple further fueled speculation by attending family events together. Elli was notably seen at Hardik's brother Krunal Pandya's wedding, and was also photographed at Krunal and Pankhuri Sharma's grand reception at JW Marriott, Mumbai, in 2017—adding more fire to the dating buzz. Years later, Elli AvrRam and Hardik Pandya's brief romance came to an end. Elli's Reaction to Hardik's KWK Controversy In 2019, Hardik found himself at the center of a major controversy after making sexist and racist remarks on Karan Johar's chat show Koffee With Karan. At the time, Elli AvrRam reportedly reacted to the incident at an award function, expressing shock and disapproval. She stated that the cricketer's behavior didn't reflect the Hardik she 'personally once used to know.' The Cryptic Post After Hardik's Engagement Pandya moved on and got engaged to Natasa Stankovic (now his ex-wife) in 2020. Around the same time, in January, Elli AvrRam shared a cryptic post on Instagram that caught attention. Her note read, "Be your own Angel this time xx," sparking speculation about its hidden meaning. The Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon actress later addressed the buzz around her cryptic post, which many believed was aimed at ex-flame Hardik Pandya. However, Elli clarified that the message had 'nothing to do with him' and added that she was genuinely happy for Hardik and Natasa at the time. Cut to 2025, Elli is now rumoured to be dating popular influencer Ashish Chanchlani. The duo was first spotted together at the Elle List 2025 event in February, sparking speculation. Their latest picture on Instagram has only added fuel to the fire, with fans convinced they've made their relationship official.
