In one of his rare interviews, Jaun Elia mentioned a true story from Amroha, India. This account played an essential role in his personality formation.
In his neighborhood, a girl named Azra was engaged to a boy named Murtaza. Nikah was done, but rukhsati was pending. They were in immense, deep love with each other. One day, Murtaza died. When Azra learned about his death, she did not cry but went into isolation for months on the upper story of the house. Her food was served by servants and family there. She rarely came downstairs.

One day, out of the blue, she came downstairs in an extremely happy mood. She took out her favorite suit and put perfume and gajra on herself. Everyone was shocked and surprised and asked her what had happened. She said, "Murtaza came into my dream and said he would take me with him soon." Everybody thought she had gone crazy, but she died in a few days.
Jaun says this event enormously affected him and changed his outlook on love and life.
