Revealing that he has been dating her for a few months now, Munawar Faruqui has said that the situation inside the house was not right to talk about his girlfriend, Nazila.

On the show, Munawar formed a close bond with co-contestant Anjali Arora and they even had some romantic moments while on the show. Anjali was even seen mouthing 'I Love You' to him as they lay in their blankets one night. After host Kangana reminded Munawar about his girlfriend outside the show, he stated that it was pure friendship with Anjali. However, he never revealed the name and identity of his girlfriend, Nazila, on the show. It was only after he won the show, that he posted pictures with her on Instagram.

Talking about it, Munawar told Etimes, "I’ve known Nazila for a year now and we have been dating for a few months. The situation inside the house was not right to talk about Nazil. As I was inside the show and she was outside and I was not there with her at that moment in the outside world so I refrained from revealing her identity. In our life there are different aspects of us about which we are protective. I don’t think it is wrong to be protective about our loved ones and the moment I came out I posted her picture. "

Soon after stepping out of the show, Munawar shared several pictures with his girlfriend, Nazila as they celebrated her birthday together.
