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.
