She said that after getting the offer, she asked her father, who advised her to watch the previous seasons. Touqeer followed the advise, but got scared after watching the fights and shenanigans that happen in a season. She said, "I was very scared and told my dad that I won't do it, but he convinced me that I can do it. As a result, I decided to take up the offer."

Her father later joined her on the stage while reciting a poem on courage and willpower and later gave his blessings to Sumbul before entering the show.
