Shahzada Dawood resides in the United Kingdom along with his wife Christine and their two children, Sulaiman and Alina. They also have two pets - Stig, a dog, and Proteus, a cat. 

As of now, a massive search operation has been launched to locate the Titanic submarine, with no trace of the sea vehicle so far. The US Coast Guard was informed of this development, and the search operation was launched from Boston, Massachusetts.

According to experts, if the submarine has sunk near the wreckage of the Titanic, it is next to impossible to rescue the occupants due to the depth of the sea and the capabilities of the US Navy ships.
