In an interview with Faridoon Shahryar, Gill said, “This statement comes from the fact that I am not getting good stories, and I am being used as a prop in films. I am seeing the same kind of stories; there is nothing unique in them, and there is no good message in them. I was getting a lot of offers, but I feel it should be worthwhile to invest money on me. I have been offered Punjabi films for the last five years, but I have been refusing them. I wanted someone to take a chance on me with a different concept. I was looking forward to making a comeback in the Punjab industry in a different way.

Gill addressed perceptions about her career, saying, “A lot of people told me I wasted time. I don’t think so. At that time I was learning, and it was very important. It’s important to understand scripts and films. I didn’t want to do anything just for the sake of it, because these things last. I’ve experienced it and seen that people didn’t enjoy it; they wanted to see more of Shehnaaz. And I believe that if you were on screen even for two minutes If it is, it should be impressive.” But this was not happening. I thought, why not do something in our Punjabi industry where we can really make a difference? Why are we running only after Bollywood? I will work there someday, but first I want to prove myself, give my best performance, but first of all it is very important to prove myself as an actor.”

Shehnaaz also praised the Punjabi film industry, saying, “Punjabi industry is very big, Bollywood films don’t work unless there is a Punjabi song in it. Our industry is so big that they have to use those songs and also dance on them. The Punjabi industry is next level. They are doing well with the films too. A lot of money and effort is being put into the films, so I hope the audience will watch and give us feedback so that we can move forward.”
