These videos quickly gained popularity, and Love Khaani went on to become a well-known and successful social media influencer in the UAE and beyond. Love Khaani shared that she is the daughter of a bus driver, who lived alone in the UAE for decades, providing facilities for his family back in Pakistan. She advised people never to lose hope and to always work hard, despite the challenges they may face. Reflecting on her own journey, Love Khaani spoke about how difficult it was for her to even obtain a tourist visa for Dubai 10 years ago. However, she persevered and worked hard, ultimately earning the prestigious UAE Gold Visa. She expressed her gratitude to Dubai and the UAE for providing her with the opportunities and for granting her the chance to continue her work as a social media influencer.
