Farida Jalalwas asked in an interview (What are you doing presently?) and she said

This is something I can’t make any comment on for now. As I have said earlier, I have given my share of positive contribution to the development of the industry as an actress and I am not in a position to determine what tomorrow may look like. Therefore, returning or not returning should be something that only time will tell and not me.
