A quote from her 2014 speech at the Karachi Literature Festival:

"Humour comes from tragedy while anger is what triggers satire. With satire, you speak the truth and hold a mirror up to the society."[1]

Person in the book playing the role, 'Butterfly', is intentionally shown to be a spoiled brat attending high-society parties.[1]
