Growing up, Yumna was a tomboy, she loved flying kites and she used to play with boys more than girls. She has a strong faith in God and is thankful to Him for giving her the status she enjoys today. Yumna takes acting really seriously while performing she automatically transitions to a state which she cannot even understand herself.
She takes each one of her performances really seriously. She never takes the fame and recognition she has for granted. She is also constantly fearful of losing her ‘superpower’ because acting to her is just that!
