Jannat Zubair launches her app

It seems launching personal apps has become a trend among television celebrities. After actress Rashami Desai, "Tu Aashiqui" actress Jannat Zubair Rahmani launched one on Tuesday to strengthen her fan connect.

"I feel blessed to have millions of people who follow me on different social media platforms and I'm glad they like the content that I share and they never fail to surprise me with numerous edits, sketches, fan arts, quotes etc.

"I try to connect with them as much as possible but obviously can't reply everybody and I miss out some edits as well, hence we thought of making my own app with a thought that this will help me to connect with my fans and to notice every effort made by them," Jannat said in a statement.

The app has been developed from US-based tech firm escapex and includes different segments and contests for Jannat's fans.
