She also talked about controversies, like her notorious selfie with Abdul Sattar Edhi when he was terminally ill. Talking about the viral selfie with the national hero that got her trolled, she shared that she was friends with the philanthropist.
“I share a good relationship with Bilqees Edhi, I used to go to attend the orphans’ wedding functions too. One day I went to Bilqees Edhi, I also took my nephew Aryan because I really wanted him to meet Edhi Sahb. I met with Edhi Sahb’s son Ahmad, he requested me to sing Lambi Judai, which I sang. Later on Edhi Sahb’s family took pictures with me. It strengthened my confidence and I asked for a selfie with Edhi Sahb”.
