At the start of every year, people often create New Year’s resolutions to plan, change habits, and improve themselves. While not essential, these resolutions serve as personal goals.
At the end of 2024, Geo Digital asked stars from showbiz and fashion about the dreams they managed to fulfill.

Similarly, actress Kubra Khan prioritized traveling and also aimed to stay active on social media while focusing on fitness.
Actor Imran Abbas shared that he never makes specific plans or resolutions for the New Year but used to begin the year differently in the past.
