I barely have five years of experience in the field," she explained, "In my opinion, Amna Ilyas deserved to win [and if not her, then] Nooray Bhatti. Not only were they the right contenders, but they’ve also been in the industry for eight years. So, better luck next time to me,”.[9] She subsequently received Hum Award for Best Model Female nominations at 3rd Hum Awards,[10] and 4th Hum Awards.[11]

"I am not planning to step into the world of films any time soon. But if I get an extremely good offer, I might just take it." She further states about her scree debut, "I would certainly opt for a Pakistani film for my first project. Bollywood bohot door ki baat hai. Pehlay apni Pehchan Pakistan mein tou bana lein. [Bollywood is too far-fetched. I would like to be recognized in Pakistan first],".[6]
