Luckily for Minhaj, despite all the challenges, he ended up exchanging wedding vows with the girl of his dreams.

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. So when I first saw her as a freshman, I was just living on the quiet floor in the Thoreau dorms. She was just a girl I had a crush on. I didn't know she'd be my wife."

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."

Hasan claims some aspects of his life changed after sharing wedding vows with his wife. The comedian claimed he went from 'Scarface' photos to family photos and he's accustomed to throwing pillows now. Furthermore, he claims the scented candles are nice.

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.

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."

He continued, certain issues are crucial to Muslims like him that they often ask for empathy and support.

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.
