Actor Shoaib Ibrahim‘s younger sister, Saba Khalid, who is also a content creator, recently shared some heartbreaking news with her followers. The YouTuber announced that she will be shutting down her restaurant, Khushamadeed, located on Mumbai’s Mira Road due to the ongoing LPG shortage. Saba and her husband Khalid also confirmed the news in their YouTube vlog. They shared that, aside from the LPG issue, another safety hazard has forced them to temporarily shut down the restaurant.
Saba Ibrahim shuts down the restaurant due to cylinder issue
Saba and Khalid announced on YouTube how they had to make this tough decision due to the ongoing crisis. Khalid said, “It’s very sad news, but we have to shut down our restaurant. We are struggling to get cylinders; very few of them are reaching us. Secondly, when we constructed the place, we left a gap between the wall and the wooden structures…” Shoaib Ibrahim’s sister Saba added, “When you start something new, you do make mistakes. We didn’t have the knowledge, our interior designer was also new, but in order to make the space look nice, he made moulding on a wooden ply, and left a gap between that and the wall. Now, due to that, rats are coming into the restaurant. When Sunny (Khalid) saw this, he decided to shut down the space for 15 days. It’s a huge decision we had to make.”
Addressing the LPG shortage, Saba also added, “We are not getting cylinders. From the time Sunny went to Maudaha, he was stressed throughout. Everyone is facing this issue; the restaurants around us have also been shut for 2-3 days. We will find out a way soon, but for now, we are shutting it down. Also, you might not get to see the same look of Khushamadid that you saw earlier.”
Saba and Khalid open up about facing losses
Shoaib Ibrahim’s sister and brother-in-law also said how this temporary closure would bring them losses. They shared, “We will try to redesign it similarly. We spent a lot of money on decorating the place, but we went wrong with it. We are sure that the look won’t change your love for the place. We need your support, and we shall be back again after 15-20 days. The kitchen will be functional for food delivery, and the outer space will be open for dine-in.”
Saba also added, “We have been contemplating this decision for a few days now, working on the finances. We don’t want to get ourselves a bad reputation or cause any inconvenience to our customers. Shutting down the restaurant, we will face losses. We are sending some staff to Delhi; we are not sending them home, because they also have houses to run.”
