Speaking to Pinkvilla, Shehnaaz said, “Therapy ki zarorat hie nahi hai. Therapy toh saamne walon ko chahiye jo akad maar rahe hai mere aage. Mujhe thodi chahiye?

She added, “Therapy unko zarorat hai, jo log apne aapko pata nahi kya samajhte hain. Unki ‘main’ down karo. Therapy hum logo ko bilkul zarorat nahi hai, jinme hai hie nahi yeh chize (Therapy is needed for those who do not know what they think of themselves. Lower their minds. Therapy is not needed for people like us who do not have these things).”
