He started off by expressing his disappointment, "I am really upset because I never thought this would happen. My family’s respect is being dragged on the streets without our consenting - And a girl who has nothing to do with this is being dragged along. I want to start with describing the issue."
"What has happened between me and Syra is our personal matter and we have not divorced, we are just separated. Syra is my wife! And I don’t understand how people are saying that ‘the news has been confirmed, they (Syra and Shehroz) are not together after seven years of marriage.’ Who said this? Was it me, or was it Syra, or our family, or our cousins, who said this? No one!"

He then went onto address the rumours related to the model Sadaf Kanwal. "Another rumour claims that they're not together because of a girl, Sadaf. Again, who said this? Was it me, or was it Syra, or our family, or our cousins, or our friends, who said this? No one!"
"But you all still decided to drag someone’s sister, daughter, into the matter and became the jury and judge yourself. You didn’t ask me, no one asked Syra – the one everyone’s rooting for, nobody asked her."
The actor then explained the difference between a divorce and separation adding that him and Syra Shahroz had only separated. "What is a separation? Me and my wife were not getting along so six months ago, we decided that instead of spoiling our relationship and our family’s decorum, we should stay distant for a while. We decided to give each other some space, this is called a separation. And after attaining that space, we get to understand whether we can reconcile or not, and then bigger decisions are made."
Shahroz claimed that him and his wife have made no such decisions regarding their future yet, and when they do, everyone can hear it from their mouths. As for now they are married and Sadaf should be left out of the matter.
"Right now, no such decision has been made. Right now, Syra is my wife and my respect, so I don’t want anybody saying anything to her or Sadaf."
"I met Sadaf one month ago for work purposes – she has only worked with me. Just because she danced with me does not mean we have something going on, and it’s so bold of you all to assume that a person I met one month ago is responsible for a separation that happened six months ago. Now everyone, all the publications who have spread false rumours regarding my family and Sadaf need to apologise."
The actor concluded by saying that everyone will be answerable to God for the lies they spread and the damage it does. Adding that their daughter Nooreh is also happy as she gets to spend time with both her parents. "Our daughter is happy, she gets to stay with the both of us, as for the divorce rumours, everyone will be equally answerable."
