This is a really weird example. Kadri’s name is Arabic, completely unrelated to Punjabi. So no, the phonetics are not the same.

At the same time, you gave a pronunciation example from Kannada, again, unrelated to Punjabi.

That said, there seems to be a version of the name borrowed into Urdu that’s quite common, and that’s my guess as to what Singh is saying.
