Her three-year tenure of service alongside Abdul Satar Edhi was transformational and life-changing. It also resulted in her authoring his (narrated) autobiography, "A Mirror to the Blind" (1996). The influence of Edhi spurred her into social work and inspired her to establish the 'Tehmina Durrani Foundation', with a mission to further Edhi's way of "humanitarianism", and his vision of Pakistan as a social welfare state.
In 2003, she married Shehbaz Sharif.
