However, she did not explicitly state whether the headscarf is a permanent personal choice beyond the project.

Previously, several Pakistani actresses including Noor Bukhari, Sanam Chaudhry, Zarnish Khan, and Anum Fayyaz have adopted the hijab and stepped away from showbiz to pursue a more religious lifestyle.

Fans flooded Javeria’s comment section with prayers and encouragement. One user wrote, “May Allah give you istiqamat (steadfastness) for this great initiative,” while another commented, “May Allah SWT make you steadfast in your endeavour.”
