Speaking about Ikk Kudi, the film explores themes of love, imperfections in relationships, and the importance of emotional effort over perfection. It tells the story of a woman from a family of broken hearts who begins to doubt her arranged marriage and sets out to uncover her fiancé's mysterious past.

Recently, Shehnaaz opened up about relationships and finding a life partner. She said, "Nothing is perfect. But I think the more effort you put in, the better. Invest in your relationship; it's very important. You never know what the future holds; sometimes a person's true nature is revealed only after marriage. But you should still do your best and stay cautious. In the end, it's fate if you're lucky, you'll meet a good person; if not, you'll meet a bad one."

Work Front

Shehnaaz has appeared in several films, including Kala Shah Kala, Daaka, Honsla Rakh, Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan, and Thank You for Coming.

She has also featured in numerous hit music videos such as Maar Kar Gayi, Pindaan Diyaan Kudiyaan, Je Haan Ni Karni, Putt Sardaran De, Lakh Laanhta, Viah Da Chaa, Jatt Jaan Vaarda, Gusse Ho Ke Nahiyo Sarna, Jatti Hadd Sekhdi, Gunday Ik Vaar Fer, Peg Paun Wele, Gedi Route, Shona Shona, and Habit. Her upcoming project is titled Sab First Class.
