    The actor shared that when their fourth daughter was born, a family member dejectedly commented that a daughter had been born for the fourth time in their house. He answered by saying, “What is your problem? Are you regretting it or congratulating us?”

    His wife added, “We replied, ‘Will you be providing flour, lentils, and rations for our household? We will feed them ourselves.’”

    Meanwhile, Adnan Shah expressed that having daughters is a special blessing from Allah. He said, “I am thankful to the Lord that it never occurred to me that I don’t have a son. The fact that Allah has blessed me with children is a great gift.”
