    Siddiqui, in a recent social media post, opened up on his love for the flute and what drew him to it.

    “I started romancing the flute quite fortuitously when a flute seller who looked more like a vagabond playing for the love of music, caught my fancy many years ago in Karachi Boating Basin,” shared Adnan.

    “Having had an inherent ear for music, I had trained myself to play harmonica during my young days,” he continued. “So the decision to dabble into a new territory was an obvious transition.”

    “Though memory fails me to recall the composition that man regaled me with at the time time, it did leave me with a strong affinity towards the flute” wrote Adnan further. “The next day I found myself wandering through by-lanes of the walled city of Karachi, scouting for a flute that would instantly metamorphose me into Mozart! Well, that didn’t happen and I have made peace with being a Pied Piper.”

    “It’s been a long time and I am still in love with the flute,” added the actor. “Despite being self-taught, not once has it rejected my advances to compose seemingly novice notes. It loves me back equally, offering me experiences that are therapeutic and divine at the same time.”

    Adnan was recently spotted bonding with Turkish actors. Last month, Celal Al welcomed Adnan Siddiqui and other Pakistani actors Humayun Saeed, Reema Khan and Sadia Khan in Turkey.

    In the same interview, while answering a question on how the two met and connected, Shahroz said: “We met at an award [ceremony] where we had to perform together, and after that, we became good friends.”

    Shahroz added that he is a very “closed up guy” and that he only interacts and opens up in front of a few selective people.

    “When we got back [from the awards] people gave a different colour to our friendship, even though we were just friends at the time. But [the rumours] made us both think about [getting together],” he said further, joking that the media and rumours mills had a big role to play in their marriage.

    Talking about their relationship equation, Shahroz said: “Without friendship, this relation [marriage] can never be successful.”

    During the interview Shehroz also revealed what she liked most about Sadaf.

    “The best thing that would any attract any man is honesty. Especially in our industry, where we are out and about, and us men being however we are, growing up in Pakistan, we have a certain mentality,” said the actor. “So keeping that mentality in mind, her morals were in the right place.”

    Shahroz and Sadaf tied the knot in May last year after a highly controversial and public scandal forcing Sabzwari to issue several clarifications regarding his relationship with the model.
