Rahat borrowed three million dollars from a mafia leader, which explains his seemingly extravagant lifestyle and lavish spending. The debt comes to light when the mafia confronts him at his apartment with a gun, revealing that Rahat's flashy millionaire image was built on borrowed money rather than genuine wealth.

Nawab's hatred of Pakistanis stems from a cricket match decades ago. During a match, Imran Khan's bowling injured Nawab's cricket career, causing him to lose his sight temporarily. This personal grievance evolved into a deep-seated prejudice against all Pakistanis, which becomes the main obstacle when Sherry tries to marry his daughter Celina.

Foreshadowing: The film establishes early on that Sherry is Pakistani, setting up the cultural conflict that will later dominate the story.

Saif calls Nawab while pretending to be Imran Khan, using the cricketer's legendary status to convince Nawab that punishing Sherry and Celina for a decades-old cricket accident would be unjust. The ruse works because Nawab deeply respects Imran Khan, and hearing what appears to be the cricketer himself pleading for the couple softens his stance.

Foreshadowing: The film earlier establishes Nawab's obsession with that cricket match, making his vulnerability to this particular deception believable.
