During the interview, Adnaan elaborated on his strained relationship with his sister, firmly stating, "Vo mereliye exist nahi karti. Mere baare me koi bhi cheeze koi bola hota toh mai let go kar deta par mere se bhi bad ke meri wife ki izzat hai. Jitna bhi huya hai social media pe, vo cheezo ko mai kabhi bhool nahi sakta. Ghar bar sab chor ke aayi hai vo mere liye, job chori hai, uske mummy daddy bhi nahi hai. Ab mai hi hu, mai hi sath nahi dunga toh kon dega." (Translation: She does not exist for me. If someone had said anything about me, I would have let it go. But my wife’s respect matters even more than mine. Whatever has happened on social media, I can never forget those things. She left her home and everything for me, she even left her job, and she doesn’t have her parents either. Now I am the only one she has—if I don’t stand by her, then who will?)
