Mehwish said “I was just not so sure, because one of the scenes I had anissue with and I asked them if they could change it or maybe delete thatscene and of course they couldn’t. I was just not comfortable with that.”

After the rising tensions between Pakistan and India post-Pulwama attack,artists from both sides have refrained to perform in their neighbouringcountries.

Adding further she stated, “I think everything happens for a reason andtherefore I don’t regret anything.”
