“It’s just for the sake of showing off. My daughter’s passport has expired. Shami’s signature is required for the new passport. That is why she went to meet her father, but Shami did not sign. He went to a shopping mall with her daughter. The company for which Shami advertises, he took her there. My daughter bought shoes and clothes from that shop. Shami doesn’t have to pay if he buys anything from there. My daughter wanted a guitar and camera, he didn’t buy her those stuff,” Hasin had shared with anandabazar.com.  

The report also mentioned that Hasin had also shared that Shami did not care enough regarding his daughter and only posted a clip of him meeting up due to not having any other stuff to post on social media.
