“Can’t a boy and a girl just be friends?” was the first thing uttered by Momina when Fifi brought up the rumors. Fifi joked about how Momina finding Daniyal Zafar may lead to “something” special, but Momina shunned that as well by stating, “it is not really that easy to dazzle me.”

On Sharing About her Engagement which Ended Earlier this Year, Momina Stated how She is Currently Happy in her Own Space
“I am happy by myself. Zindagi mae aur bhi baare ghum hai Mohabbat k siwwa,” she said when asked about her relationship plans. She even mentioned how it is not right to limit a woman towards the identity of a man.
Additionally, Momina shared how it wrong for people to call Aima Baig ‘the next Momina Mustehsan’ as the singer has her own identity and she should be called by her own charisma and talent.
Given nature of mature statements given out by Momina in this interview, safe to say she is on the right track of being a symbol of empowerment in Pakistan.
