Some Lesser Known Facts
Suhaib belonged to a conservative Muslim family with his father holding positions in All India Imams Organisation and as a mosque imam in Delhi. | |
He met his first wife, Anju Singh, in November 1989 at Jamia Millia Islamia during their shared course. | |
Despite familial disapproval due to their different religions, Suhaib and Anju married in London in 1993 under the Special Marriage Act. | |
Upon returning to India from London, marital discord arose, leading Anju to move back to London and stay with her brother, who advised her to try to work things out. | |
While in London, he found inspiration from the British show Crimestoppers and conceived the idea for a crime-based show. | |
In 1997, he established ‘Aaliya Productions Pvt Ltd.' as his proprietary company. | |
Suhaib gained widespread recognition for hosting the renowned crime show 'India’s Most Wanted' in 1999. | |
By 2009, he had assumed the role of editor-in-chief at 'Bureaucracy Today' magazine, a monthly English publication. |
