Confirming the development, the actress said, “I’m happy to be a part of Sufiyana Ishq as the makers are giving me an opportunity to play a great and extremely challenging role. I wanted to wait for the correct time to return on screen. I was in no hurry as I needed a break to enjoy my life.”

She went on to add, “Even after my show Devanshi went off air, I was flooded with offers but I was not keen on playing similar characters… I always look for something new, fresh and challenging.”
