My argument with late Salman Shah among fellow artistes was most popular.

Some of the other co-stars who have contributed a lot to my film career are: late Manna Bhai, Omar Sani, Bapparaz, Amin Khan, Amit Hasan, Riaz Ahmed, Ferdous Ahmed, Shakil Khan, Shakib Khan and many more.
By Allah’s grace and everyone’s prayers, I am still alive with enough respect in movies.”

Especially the selfless love and support of the audience and fans of my movie, I am today’s Shabnoor.
Ever since I joined social media, I have always realised that their love for me has not changed, but is increasing.
I hope your sincere love for me will continue in the future.
I also give special thanks to the journalist brothers and sisters.
They have helped me so far by providing objective news with their often cooperative attitude towards me.
I thank everyone for that,” she added.
Shabnoor informed that she is scheduled to come to the country at the beginning of next year.
