Meri thinking positive hoti gayi aur mujhe achhe log mile journey mein. Along with honing my talent, I always try to improve myself and rectify my mistakes — that’s very important for moving ahead in life. I decided to lose weight when I started receiving appreciation from people, I wanted to show them a different me. Sab mujhe moti keh rahe the, so I wanted to surprise them.”
Shehnaaz further said that she is also trying to get rid of her Punjabi accent and learning to speak Hindi and English. "I try to talk in English with people, chaahe woh hass bhi de mujh par. Slowly, I have started understanding the meaning of various words. Every time I see a new word, I look up the internet for its meaning and correct pronunciation and also play word games,” she said.
Shehnaaz turns a year older on January 27. She had a close-knit midnight party to celebrate her birthday with rumoured boyfriend Sidharth Shukla and their families.
