Jimmy further added that he attended only the main functions of his marriage, and wasn't able to be with his family for 10-15 days. He was quoted as saying:

Like North Indian weddings they keep the functions for 10-15 days. I couldn’t make it for those many days, I was there only for 2-3 days because I was shooting for the film Yeh Zindagi Ka Safar. I only went for the main functions of my marriage. That’s how things were 2-3 years after Mohabbatein."
