Here is a collection of some rare facts about the superstar which, we bet, you didnā€™t know before!Ā 

1. Momina was aĀ 3rd grader in New York’s elementary school when she explored her musical side.

When I started elementary school in New York, I was supposed to take up an instrument. Itā€™s part of the curriculum. I decided to take up the violin, just because it seemed cool and they didnā€™t have the guitar. Thatā€™s when I started realizing I might have some interest in music, which was in 2nd or 3rd grade.Ā

She sang for the 1st time in her school’s talent show and loved it!

Then there was a talent show and I was part of the choir. Everyone had to showcase something. My teacher asked me if I had something to show and I said, I donā€™t know. And she said I think you sing well and I said, I donā€™t know! Thatā€™s when I sang for the first time and it was amazing. I didnā€™t think I could sing. This was in 3rd grade. It was fun.

2. Her tunes onĀ Sound CloudĀ led to her Bollywood debut for Ek Villain’s song “Awaari

I had people ask me about singing for movies or playback but I was never interested. Then came Soch, a Pakistani band, who was working with Mohit Suri on the movie, Ek Villain. They heard me through Sound Cloud and their manager got in touch with me. This was my first commercial project.

3. Did you know that Momina is an engineer by profession! Currently, she is working on building devices and doing social work!

My priority has always been education. I barely had time to eat or sleep in college. I graduated recently so I have some time. Iā€™m working on building devices or doing social work until I start school in January.

4. Apparently, the charmer prioritizes comfort over fashion and loves to wear traditional Pakistani wear

I donā€™t keep up with fashion trends, especially in Pakistan. I like wearing traditional Pakistani clothes when Iā€™m here, and anything that feels comfortable when in the US.

5. You won’t believe it but Jojo and Justin Beiber are her favorite international musical celebrities.

JoJo. Her talent and her journey both are incredible. And, Justin Bieber. Because he came out stronger from all the hate he has gotten most of his life and he has been working on himself and evolving.
