The experience of working with Tiger Shroff was also very good. He is a very good person, he behaves very politely, but seeing him, I did not feel the same as seeing Shahrukh. And that's it.
Shafina Shah has also won the title of Miss World Pakistan in 2023 and is working on the health of children born with cleft palate and lip.
