Shakib was in the middle of his live radio interview when his phone rang. On the other end was Zari, sounding disappointed and demanding to know why he had not texted her in the morning.

Addressing the issue, Zari said, "I don’t think I’m for you. I’m very secure, and I chose you. Maybe you should find people on your level."
