Siqqique was an infant during the time of the Partition when his family got split and his elder brother Habib grew up on the Indian side of the Partition line.
The brothers could not control their emotions and burst into tears of joy after meeting embracing each other and recalling memories.

According to The News International, he told his younger brother that they will continue meeting through the corridor.
