When asked about his belief in the institution of marriage, Anas had stated, “As a teen, I believed in love marriages and thought I would marry in a romantic fashion.

In another interview, Anas expressed his feeling about the marriage day and how it is the best day of his life, he said, “Everyone kept complimenting us how great we looked together. Our wedding attire also received a lot of appreciation and we were blushing because of the praises. Being the eldest in the house, I was so elated to see my family happy.
