His father, Afzal Guru, was hanged to death on February 9, 2013 following his conviction in the Parliament attack case in India.

"We are a normal family. I want my son to lead a normal life. We have nothing to do with politics," Galib's mother Tabasum told Hindustan Times.

In a 2013 interview to Kashmiri news outlet Kashmir Monitor quoted by Hindustan Times, Ghalib had said that he wanted to be a doctor.

"Papa knew that I want to become a doctor and would always tell me to work hard. He used to repeat this whenever I visited him in jail," said Ghalib, who loves reading science books and playing cricket, the report said.
