Recently, HSY appeared in Aik Naya Zavia’s interview/podcast, where he opened up about the struggles and sacrifices his mother made for her children.

Talking about it, HSY said, “My mother decided to get a divorce when I was just one or two years old. It was a bold step, taken for the future and happiness of her children. She felt it was the right decision. I won’t say anything negative about my father, as I respect him; he passed away two years ago—may Allah bless him with Jannah. My mother was brave in choosing what she thought was best for us. Both my paternal and maternal grandmothers were real sisters. My maternal grandfather (Nana) was once the mayor of Faisalabad. We never relied on anyone else because our mother taught us to be independent, even while we were abroad. She wanted me to be educated, despite working four jobs. We barely got to spend time with her, yet she worked so hard. My mother is my hero. She taught us independence, and her only wish for us was to grow up self-reliant and independent.”
