Recently, Waseem Abbas appeared on Ahmed Ali Butt’s podcast Excuse Me, where he talked about his love-hate relationship with his father, Inayat Hussain Bhatti.
Talking about it, Waseem Abbas said, “Let me share a funny incident with you, as you already mentioned that I had a love-hate relationship with my father. I was young, naughty, and had many mischievous habits, whereas my brother was very obedient, successful, and decent. So one day, in anger, my father called his lawyer to disown me as his son. The lawyer started preparing notice of disownment, in which my father had asked him to write: ‘My elder son is obedient and honors all my orders; on the other hand, my younger son is disobedient, discourteous, and stubborn—but half of my property’s share belongs to him.’ Our family lawyer wrote his words it but then said, ‘What kind of a notice is this? A disowning notice means you will not give him any share to your son—what is this?’ Yes, he was strict but loving. He wanted me to do CSS, but I came into this field. The same goes for me with my son—I have taken my father’s place, but I am still a friend to my son, unlike my father, who kept a distance, although he was loving.” Watch here:
