While talking to the media, she said,“We [the society] have confined beauty in a box–skin, color, height, looks–but beauty is much deeper than that. I believe that the women in Pakistan are capable of achieving so much more but are held back from doing so due to these outdated stereotypes. Veet Academy has provided a wonderful platform to reach out to millions of girls with this message that you can conquer your fears and turn your dreams into realities irrespective of who you are or where you come from. I am honored to be their coach in this journey.”
