Shabnur said, "I have spent three decades in the film industry, riding on everyone's love. Alhamdulillah. Since I started acting, producers and directors have shown immense interest in casting me in movies, resulting in a whopping 158 films in my portfolio. Actually, each film I've acted in is very dear to me. Among my co-stars, Salman Shah, who tragically passed away, was the most beloved by the audience. Until Salman's untimely demise, for a mere four years, we worked together in 14 highly praised and commercially very successful films. In my acting career spanning over thirty years, there have been many more co-stars who have made significant contributions. Among them, prominent figures include the late Manna Bhai, Omar Sani, Bapparaj, Amin Khan, Riaz Ahmed, Ferdous Ahmed, Shakil Khan and Shakib Khan. With Allah's mercy and everyone's prayers, I continue to live with enough respect in the film industry. I am sincerely grateful to all the producers, directors, co-actors, choreographers, cinematographers, and the entire team associated with the film industry for their genuine support and gratitude."
"Especially to my countless fans and admirers, whose selfless love and support for me have only grown stronger since joining social media. I hope your unwavering love will remain unchanged in the future. I extend special thanks to my journalist brothers and sisters. Almost everyone has shown such supportive attitudes, helping me excel by presenting unbiased news. Thank you all for bringing me so far with such a helpful and encouraging attitude," she added.
