Punjabi and Hindi songs were heard playing in the background of Shah`s video. 

After the video was widely shared on the internet and drew criticism from social media users, officials said they have initiated an inquiry in the matter, local media reported. 

Shah was quoted by local media on how she managed to get access, "Yes, I got into office after seeking permission. If it was against rules and regulations they should not have allowed me to make a video."

She added, "I also went to National Assembly, I get a pass, get my entry there properly. No security has ever stopped me, I`ve never had any obstacle. No one has helped me, I got in on my own."

Interestingly, the social media personality is no novice when it comes to meeting influential political leaders. She has been pictured with a number of politicians including Fayyaz ul Hasan Chohan.

Previously it was said that Shah was at PM secretariat but focal Person to Imran Khan, Dr Arsalan Khalid has clarified that she was actually at the Foreign Office building and that an investigation into the matter has begun.

In a previous undated snap, the TikTok star was seen posing with the Pakistani Prime Minister, which left people wondering about whether the two met before or after the video went viral.
