“That was the first time that I sat in the car and I had to give Ruhaan to my mother as he was crying so much because I couldn’t feed him. And I just broke down. At that moment, a prayer came from my heart that if it’s cancer, I don’t have a complaint. I just want to get better. I know you will make me better. And then we both broke down there.”

“We both would spend the whole day chatting with each other through songs. You know, in the morning I would get a line from a song from Shoaib, then I would think a little and reply with a line from a song as well. So, songs have been a very prominent part of our relationship.”
