He shared his concerns, stating, "I have always supported her in her entire journey and will continue to do so. I wanted her to excel not only academically but also in her character development."

Upon witnessing his daughter's impressive marks in the 10th grade, Mehraj decided to support her ambition of becoming a doctor. He appealed to all parents, urging them to prioritize the holistic education of their children, encompassing both worldly knowledge and religious teachings.
