The following year, she appeared in Amjad Ibrahim's web series Hanaa where she played the stoical mother of a middle-class family.[7] Upon release, the film received mixed to negative reviews from critics, where Ahmed Jaishan from Sun called the film an "outdated melodrama, re-created from the 90s".[8]

She was featured as the mother of an envious daughter who forces her friend into human trafficking in the last chapter of Ilyas Waheed's four-part anthology web series Mazloom.[9] Mariyam Waheedha from Dhen praised the performance of Latheefa, while calling the chapter an "honorable conclusion" to a benchmark project.[10][11] This was followed by her role as an advocative and supportive aunt of an unfortunate daughter in Ahmed Nimal's web series Lafuzu, an encouraging family friend in Ali Seezan's Dhoadhi and a victim of a cursed mask in Ilyas Waheed's horror thriller anthology web series Biruveri Vaahaka.[12][13][14]
