In a chat with the popular news portal, Abdu shared that the news of his engagement was a “surprise to everyone” but “as soon as Salman bhai heard the news, he called to congratulate me.” Abdu continued, “He gave me his blessings and it means a lot to me. I look forward to having my bada bhaijaan (elder brother) at my wedding. My friends from Bigg Boss, like Shiv Thakare, were surprised but happy for me.”

Abdu, 20, is engaged to Amira, 19, who lives in Sharjah. He shared that the two met at an Italian restaurant in Dubai. “Amira is so kind-hearted, understanding, and respectful,” he said, and added, “When we talked to each other, I felt she had all the qualities I wanted in a wife. After a few months, I expressed my feelings, telling her I wanted to marry her. And she agreed.”

Abdu is yet to share the pictures of his fiance and when asked about this, he said that he has never shared photos of his other female family members either, as they choose to live a private life. “Amira and I come from a conservative culture. I’m sure people have noticed I’ve never shared my mother or sister’s pictures on social media as well. They prefer to remain private,” he said.

Abdu had already addressed the trolls who teased him about his height. Even though he is 115 cm and his fiancée is 155 cm tall, he claimed that their love for each other is unwavering.

He told the popular news portal that his engagement was not a “PR strategy” and added, “Maybe people find it hard to believe that a small guy like me has found love.”
