In an interview with Uyaina Arshad, Neelofa admits that she is now happier and freer when wearing a veil. She also mentioned that this decision was not easy. She does everything for her life in the hereafter. "Every woman wants to look beautiful. It's a woman's natural instinct. So it wasn't easy for me to decide to wear a veil. I know that the consequence is I have to forget everything I've loved all this time, which is admiring beauty," she said.
