• Beena and Hasan met as freshmen at the University of California, Davis.
• Minhaj and Patel married on Jan. 2, 2015.
• Beena Patel married comedian and political correspondent Hasan Minhaj.

Beena Patel, the wife of acclaimed comedian and political correspondent Hasan Minhaj, has a story that’s as remarkable as her husband’s. Their journey began when they crossed paths as freshmen at the University of California, Davis, Minhaj studying political science and Patel pursuing neurobiology, physiology, and behavior.

Since then, Patel has forged her path as a public health doctor, earning accolades for her work with the Vituity Cares Foundation, focusing on bridging healthcare gaps globally.

Their love story is woven with traditional elements, from their college days to their marriage in 2015 and the birth of their two children, a daughter, and a son. Minhaj often fondly recalls their early days, including his unconventional proposal with just a diamond and how Patel helped shape his comedy through collaborative writing sessions.

Despite Minhaj’s jests about her large family, affectionately dubbed the “Patel Cartel,” Patel takes it in stride, even embracing the moniker on her social media.

As Minhaj continues to entertain audiences, Patel remains his steadfast support, embodying strength, resilience, and the power of partnership in their journey through life together.
