Now back home, Merub is recovering slowly and has asked her admirers for prayers. Other celebs, like Mahiran Khan, Dure-e-FIshan Saleem, Sana Fahad and Rabia Kulsoom also wished her well. Social media users also told her to take rest and not use her phone too much so her finger would not get strained.
