Punjabi is such a beautiful language. When it is spoken fluently is such a treat.

[@ameeraqureshi7784]

why was the audio so bad on this podcast!! Please fix the bug it makes the experience so bad, esp when you have headphones on

[@aamirniyazi1380]

Amna is such an adorable and attractive lady. Her beauty lies in her tang complexion. She is utterly attractive and very seductive. She should start her own youtube channel ASAP so that all her fans can see her often on youtube.

[@dubaigirlvlogs]

There’s some sort of noise coming from microphones. Its really annoying.

[@aishakhalid7173]

Amna lots of love for you❤❤❤. And frieha love the way u conduct interviews

[@saimaiftikhar4473]

I agree with Amba that our women don’t want to work . When they come to Europe / USA etc they always complain that they have to work and don’t have maids / help .

Frieha looks the least interested in these people she invites on the podcast. Lol Its hilarious, almost like watching some skit on snl

[@seharnoor645]

Feriha I have a suggestion for you. You so casually ask about SA from your guest, pleasee first give a PG not only for your guest but also for audience and please ne sensitive

[@ravenyt4100]

Whats the problem with the host she is not letting guest talk at all,plz first overcome ur complax n learn 2 host a proper show.

[@lubnasamad3695]

It would be so nice to insert videos of her walking when You are discussing her walk. So We can imagine what you are talking about. When she mentions her cover shot you should insert it as well.
