The snap has garnered immense love reacts within no time.

Earlier, the Diyar-e-Dil actress detailed her career shift and said that she had always planned on getting into filmmaking. She said, “When I started, I knew I wanted to more than just act. This is a profession that I love. To sustain it and show people my vision I always knew I needed to get into production. The only difference is that I expected to get into it after 1o to 15 years, once I’d be done with my acting career, but, luckily, my current partner Imran offered to collaborate, so I figured, ‘Why not?’”

“At the time my work was going really well and my career graph was great, but I sat down and thought about why I wasn’t starting production right now? Why should I wait so long? I’d rather start right now and be a pro at it in 15 years, rather than wait for the right time.”

Moreover, while explaining how she’s learned to ignore the trolls, the actor added, “I was very new at the time and I became worried about why people were reacting in such a way. So I asked people why they were questioning someone’s character and morals. Now I don’t react anymore. It’s between me and God. Stop pointing fingers at other people.”
