She continued, "When you live alone and come from a small town, you grow. One must never stop growing. I keep growing, I learn from the people around me. Everyone you meet teaches you something, and I feel that whoever I've crossed paths with - good or bad - has taught me something. They've taught me how to deal with situations. I am strong enough to deal with situations."

Shehnaaz also talked about her popularity on social media and said that she doesn't think that trending on Twitter is cool.

If I will stop working, they will stop too."
