[7] She also appeared as Aaliya in Saleem Ghanchi's Piya Naam Ka Diya with Saniya Shamshad and Farhan Malhi, and as Minhal in Asad Jabal's Malaal-e-Yaar alongside Azekah Daniel and Mirza Zain Baig. [7] The latter was a commercial and critical success. [6] Shabbir made an episodic special appearance in the anthology series Haqeeqat .[ citation needed ]
