” I’ve learnt to ignore men who feel threatened by powerful women

” Misogyny is rampant in our surroundings and showbiz is no different

” I can only speak for myself, and here I would definitely say being selective and confident about my choices has helped. The other thing to remember is hard work! A lot of it. And consistency. There are rarely any short cuts to success

” Who I am is all because of the environment I grew up in, which was very progressive, enlightened and free. I am a child of privilege in that even though we had no money, we were a house full of artists. How we lived was very rooted in our culture and yet, at the same time, we were encouraged to be open to change. I often see people scared of things they don’t understand, and so [my art] often exists to challenge people and push them out of their comfort zone



” My greatest achievements are yet to come. But the ones that have already come along the way have taught me how important it is to be humble. To keep one’s ego in check! As our ego and arrogance can often be our ultimate downfall

” I approach the future with nothing but hope and prayers for our country. It doesn’t matter how much one plans, the future of our careers depends on the future of Pakistan

” Don’t ever let anyone hold you back from trying out something you feel you have a talent for

” A lot of people don’t realize this, but a lot of hard work goes into getting where you are before finally being noticed
