The lovebirds' first meeting arrived in college at the University of California. Speaking to the Campus magazine about the moment Hasan first saw Beena, he said:
"I met the love of my life there. It's wild. When you're living your life, you don't realize that history is happening in real time.

During the interview with The New York Times, Minja revealed he and Beena are pretty old school when it comes to living together. He said:
"Beena and I didn't move in together until we got married. We kept it very traditional ... so I had to evolve very quickly."

Similar to most other comedians, Hasan is very active on social media through Facebook. Twitter and Instagram.
Here's an interview with Hasan Minhaj on Jimmy Kimmel Live:
However, he mostly uses these platforms to promote his upcoming projects. It particularly includes dates and locations of his next stand up performances.
On the other hand, Beena is a very private person and not much active on social media. Her Instagram account is set to private. She appears to be a silent provider of stability and direction to her husband's career and growing success.
The couple is currently living in Manhattan, in the Hell's Kitchen neighborhood where they are trying to adjust being New Yorkers. Since the comedian's career appears to be blossoming even further, we can expect this adorable duo to appear on the red carpet in the coming years.
Hasan Minhaj Is A Public Advocate For Gay Rights
Hasan Minhaj is a public advocate for LGBT rights. He appeared vocal about this topic along with Author Reza Asan. They believe Americans should embrace marriage equality.
Both Aslan and Minhaj appeared on HuffPost Live to discuss the open letter they penned to their fellow American Muslims. They recommended a different approach towards LGBT from Christian counterparts.
Minhaj who is a part of a minority group in the US, said Muslims have the responsibility to advocate the rights of all other marginalized people. This is significant because Muslims are discriminated against and they have needed support just like the LGBT Community.
Minhaj added:
"[The legalization of gay marriage] is an amazing win for all civil liberties that allow us to practice our faith as practising Muslims in America and others to practice their faith as practising Jews, Christians or whatever they choose to practice."
Hasan revealed they just tried to express in the letter the fact that you can't ask for those things unless you are willing to reciprocate being empathetic and supportive to other communities.
