After this interaction, Jackie said that he cleaned up and worked on himself. He further said,"I sudhro-fied (straightened up) and I married her. I changed my clothes, started behaving myself, started cleaning my nails, started brushing my teeth. I started looking presentable. And then I went and I said ‘Now can I marry your daughter?"
The 67-year-old shared that Ayesha's grandmother was not initially impressed with him, expressing that he didn't appear to be the ideal candidate for her daughter. Jackie humorously remarked, "I didn’t look like the guy you would say, ‘you are right to marry my daughter. I didn’t look the kind." It seems it took some time for him to win over the family's approval.
