It takes a lot of courage and time. Now I am slowly and gradually coming back to my passion for hosting events including designer exhibitions, fashion shows and live events.

You are one of the top most influential people of the country. Who has influenced you to pursue your current line of work?
I truly belive any influence is just the aura or personality that you carry to the world. The attitude that counts towards being influential. I admire the work of Abdul Sattar Edhi. He has always been a person I would love my old self become one day. Humble, Simple, always helping and God fearing. Because all that is left in this world after you are gone is the good work and words that you have done. How you have made people feel. Success is a byproduct of being famous and influential but one should tie its success to greater goals to wellness and kindness.
