And despite working for 11 hours, he used to get only Rs. 850. He said:
“We had a restaurant, but it didn’t work out. Dad lost all his money, was under massive debt, so I had to work. I worked for two months at a gift shop from 9 in the morning to 8 in the night. I made Rs. 850 per month for working 11 hours a day. I had to walk 3.5 km to the shop. I didn’t like it, which is when we decided to do something else."

“My mother and grandmother would make samosas at home, and I started a stall outside our house where I’d fry them up and sell them. It was a struggle. I burned my fingers, had hot oil splutter on me. But I became a pro with time, and this business worked.”

“My mom made chaklis (a savoury snack) etc. to run our household but things were very different with my father and grandmom. My mom did not get respect in that house. My entire family blamed her for my sister's marriage. My mom had a debt of Rs. 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 Rs. 3,500 at the time.”
Moreover, he added that he regrets being in an abused relationship that prevented him from reaching out to his mother prior to her untimely demise. In Munawar's words:
"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. This is why I do not want to shout or fight. And, the relationship I had, I never abused or raised my hand. Perhaps, that is the reason I was in a mentally abused relationship but I won't blame anyone."
