In a post published on the social networking site today, the Bin Roye leading lady shared that she hoped for her child to grow up in a peaceful world: "As a Pakistani and citizen of the world I strongly condemn any act of terror, any loss of human life no matter which soil it is on. I will not rejoice in bloodshed and war. I will always hope for and dream of a world where my child can live without it, and always plead with everyone to imagine a peaceful world."

The actress also said that she has always held the esteem of Pakistan paramount, stating "In the 5 years that I have been working as an actor I believe that I have tried my best to keep my country's respect intact - by being a professional and by representing Pakistan here and elsewhere to the best of my abilities."
