He also revealed his first impression about our former Agong.
“One thing I’ll say for sure as a doctor is that when I first saw him (Sultan Muhammad V), I felt a deep sense of calm and my fatherly instincts immediately knew Oksana would be fine with him.”
He continues his observations about Sultan Muhammad V, noting his genuine and humble demeanour. “I did not notice any royal airs about him.”
Andrey also spoke regarding his daughter’s conversion to Islam, saying, “When my daughter converted to Islam, I decided to take a closer look at this religion. For this, I turned to my Muslim friends.”
He seems to be happy with what he found, as he followed up with the comment, “I want to say this is a great religion. And Oksana was absolutely right in this choice – the wife should always follow her husband.”
