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]

Regarding her acting career she explained, "I am currently stressing on my modelling career and giving it my best shot," adding she has no plans of venturing into films for at least two years. "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]
