It is always great to watch the stars whose voices are listened to touching upon and spending awareness about impotant issues of the society. Mahira preached about kindness and sensitivity, the traits necessary for a society to be more tolerant!

Mahira Khan is one of the biggest stars in Pakistan. With this much stardom comes responsibility and Mahira has always made sure to help others and spread smiles. From campaigning for Edhi foundation to spreading breast cancer awareness, Mahira is always at the forefront. This time she went to Agha Khan University Hospital and spent some quality time with children there. Here watch the innocent smiles:

May Allah bless these children with health and it is always good to see celebrities setting examples for general people by being kind and loving towards the ones who need it!

What is a pleasure to watch is two beauties come together in one picture. That is what happened when Mahira Khan took a trip up North and shared some beautiful pictures from Skardu cold desert. Mahira Khan was in Skardu with some of her friends and she looked beautiful with snow surrounding her.

Mahira Khan is looking breath taking in winter attire with a high ponytail and no-makeup. She sure is a natural beauty and is not scared to show that off. Here are a few clicks of Mahira Khan having a great time with her friends:

Lollywood’s most adored and gorgeous actress Mahira Khan, who proved herself across the border as well, has stunned fans with her looks and styling at the Lux Style Awards 2021. The starlet looked mesmerizing as she was gracefully dressed in an ivory silk backless gown by “Feeha Jamsehd Official”, complimenting it with minimal makeup and a neat hair bun.

Despite looking super stunning and gorgeous as always, Mahira Khan faced immense backlash from the audience on her dressing at LSA’21. Netizens were quite offended with Mahira’s wardrobe choice at LSA. The audience said that being a Muslim it’s inappropriate to wear such revealing clothes. Here we have gathered some public reviews on Mahira’s recent pictures from LSA, have a look!

Hum TV’s drama serial Hum Kahan Kay Sachay Thay has now entered into the course of its second half. With the each passing episode the story is getting more and more toxic and depressing. In the previous episodes, we have seen that Mehreen is getting hallucinations in which she actually sees and talks with Mashal. On the other hand, the recent episode shows Aswaad emotionally abusing Mehreen and making her life hell.

Recently, founder of ‘Soul Sisters Pakistan’, Kanwal Ahmed taking to her official twitter account criticized Mahira Khan for glorifying toxic relationships and emotional abuse. Kanwal Ahmed wrote that Mahira Khan is promoting how to STAY “patiently” in (violently) emotionally abusive marriages on the top drama channel since last 10 years.

“Mummy aap Kya keh rahi hain” se “Aswad aap kya keh rahain hain” ka suffer (pun fully intended).

Right after Kanwal Ahmed shared her point of view, the netizens were quick enough to respond. Ex-wife of Shahbaz Taseer, Maheen Ghani also shared her views regarding the glorification of toxic relationships and emotional abuse in Pakistani dramas. Here we have gathered some public reviews, have a look!

Mahira Khan is the most popular actress in the Pakistani industry. There is no doubt that she has no comparison in terms of popularity and fame when compared to other actresses. She started her career as VJ in 2006 and debut with film Bol (2011), also she was hosting the live show “Most Wanted”.

Mahira Khan is the queen of the Pakistani industry, hence there is no award she hasn’t received. Every time she is nominated, she receives that award, from HUM Awards, Pakistan Media Awards to Vogue Beauty Awards, and Masala Beauty Awards, she has received them all. At Beirut International Awards, she got international recognition award.

Lately Mahira is seen working for her upcoming new film ” Quaid-E-Azam Zindabad”. Quaid-E-Azam Zindabad, featuring Mahira Khan and Fahad Mustafa, is said to be an action-comedy with lots of twists and turns and quick-witted humor. 

Recently Mahira shared some pictures and video clips while learning how to ride a bike for the scenes of her upcoming film.

We wish team Quaid-E-Azam Zindabad best of luck!

Mahira Khan and Hamza Ali Abbasi are friends that troll each other and are always there to support each other. Fans are dying to watch them work together but there has not been a single project yet where they could be seen together. The upcoming and most anticipated movie Maula Jatt 2 is one where we will be able to see the two stars in a single project but if reports are to be believed they have no scenes together.

Mahira Khan was with the director of Maula Jatt 2, Bilal Lashari. She posted a picture on her Instagram and did not forget to troll Hamza Ali Abbasi. Hamza is a very good friend of Bilal too. This is what Mahira thought about the picture and even shared her thoughts with her fans too:

And Mahira did incorporate Hamza’s wish into the picture and posted it:

Hamza agreed that yes he would want to be there and did not forget to praise his diva pout himself:

With the release of Maula Jatt coming near, fans are already all set to watch these two friends together on screen and judge if the chemistry is only off-screen or the magic will be same on screen too!

Mahira Khan is a star in every regard. She has established a place for herself where she gets an immense amount of love as well as a great amount of criticism. Mahira Khan has been a part of a few stories but the one that actually shook the world was the news of her friendship with Bollywood actor Ranbir Kapoor. Some pictures of Ranbir Kapoor and Mahira Khan were leaked online where she was sitting casually with him and was having a smoke.

Mahira came under a lot of fire for it and her fans were severely unhappy and disappointed. Though the news is old, some people still use it to troll her as unfortunately that is how the Internet is. So, Mahira Khan congratulated cricketer Muhammad Hafeez on his innings and a troll came out and started using the same old Ranbir-Mahira story to target her but Mahira knows how to clap back and showed it with full power when the said person called Ranbir, Ranveer:

Well, this certainly shows that Mahira Khan knows how to tackle these trolls and how to have the last laugh!

If you watch any Pakistani channel, be it an entertainment channel or any news channel, you are familiar with the classic Nanhi Pari advertisement. The one where a girl on her wedding day keeps remembering all her memories with her father while sitting on a mattress. The advertisement finally got revamped and this time our new Nanhi Pari is none other than Mahira Khan. Adnan Siddiqui played the role of her Baba Jani and he ages from young to old and different phases of her life along with her daughter are shown.

The advertisement is super emotional and many daughters will feel the love they have for their fathers. Adnan Siddiqui is fabulous as he changes his acting along with his look for the said advertisement. People though loved the concept of the ad and praised Adnan were not so sure about casting Mahira Khan. They started trolling her and age shaming her on social media and the reaction on the advertisement turned quite not as expected. Some were also rooting for Sajal to would have to be the better choice for playing Nanhi Pari. Here is how people are reacting:

Internet never forgives anyone. Sajal has already played Adnan’s daughter recently in the Bollywood film Mom and that made people think about her to be the better choice!

Mahira Khan is super busy these days as her film Quaid e Azam Zindabad is all set to release this Eid ul Adha. Mahira is talented as well as beautiful and she knows what looks good on her. We have seen some fabulous promotional looks from the diva. However, her latest look sporting a white tank top with a lacy cardigan and blue jeans did not impress netizens much. This is how she looked:

People started trolling Mahira on the look as soon as the pictures got out:

One of the most amazing consequences of being an actor is that you get to see so many new places and are exposed to different cultures, multiple languages and other metropolitan things. Each new country that you visit enriches your experience and increases your exposure of the world as a person.
The very beautiful Mahira Khan has been to Beirut recently for international award ceremony and very successfully bagged two awards from there. Then we saw her for the new ad launch ceremony for Lux along with gorgeous beauties Maya Ali and Mawra Hoccane.
In an informal behind the curtain interview, Mahira talked about experiencing Beirut and how she loved the Lebanese food. She also shared how she tried her hand at speaking Arabic but it is not very easy to speak a new language and specially onstage. Watch Mahira sharing her experience about it ;

Mahira Khan is a brilliant Pakistani television and film actor who grabbed an overnight success through her blockbuster drama serial Humsafar which bagged her an unending stardom. Her recent worth mentioning projects are Superstar, Hum Kahan Ke Shachay Thay & The Legend of Maula Jatt. Her recent short series Razia also garnered huge critical acclaim. Fans loved Razia because of Mahira Khan’s stellar performance and her amazing screen presence. Mahira Khan has recently gotten married to Salim Karim in a beautiful and star studded wedding. Mahira Khan’s fans are eagerly waiting for her new projects especially after seeing her in the mini series Razia.

Lately, the news about Mahira Khan doing a Malayalam film is making waves on the internet. Times of India shared details about Mahira Khan’s upcoming film. According to the Times of India, Mahira will be starring in a blockbuster Malayalam film sequel. The Indian newspaper states that reportedly, the actress is set to make her Malayalam debut in the movie ‘L2E – Empuraan’ alongside popular actors Mohanlal and Prithviraj Sukumaran. The article also mentions that discussions about Pakistani artists working in India emerged after the Mumbai High Court lifted the long-standing ban. Meanwhile, a picture is also circulating on social media which features Mahira Khan and Salim Karim standing with Malayalam actor Prithviraj Sukumaran. The film is anticipated to be a great entertainer with a big budget.

In an old interview with Indian journalist/ anchor Anupama Chopra, Mahira Khan thanked her for introducing her to Malayalam cinema, she praised Malayalam films and told that she has been watching them a lot. Here is the link to the video:

We have been discussing the upcoming high-budget movie ‘Main Hoon Shahid Afridi’ with our readers since the day the news first broke about it in the entertainment industry and now that the movie is now all ready to make its grand release this Friday, we can sense hype already been created about the news.

Mahira Khan’s recent visit to India was a huge success. She was interviewed by all the leading newspapers and she was invited to all the important talk shows. Mahira Khan said that she will only work in an Indian movie if it was a good one. The news circulating the web is that Mahira Khan will start her Bollywood debut by starring opposite Shahrukh Khan in his upcoming film “Raees”.

According to the sources, “She plays SRK’s wife in the film. He’s a gangster based in Gujarat while Nawazuddin Siddiqui is the cop who traps him in Mumbai. It’s a complex role and both the film’s director Rahul Dholakia and producers, Ritesh Sidhwani and Farhan Akhtar, believe she is perfect for the part.”

The makers of the film wanted to cast a new face for the film and Mahira Khan they thought would be the perfect choice for it. The news is that the film will be released in February 2015. The news has been confirmed by Ritesh Sidhwani.

We wish Mahira Khan all the best.

Buzz around Raees has been like a never ending one. A new controversy would rise up everyday and this time the latest reports suggest that Shah Rukh Khan has left for Dubai along with the Raees team to complete the shooting of 2 songs and Mahira Khan will join him there and shoot for her remaining portions. The songs will be shot in Dubai and Morocco.

Now that the trailer of Raees has been released and it has opened to immensely huge response from the audience, things appear to have changed. Pinkvilla quotes a source saying, “Now, that the dust has settled down and the Raees trailer has got a great response the makers of the film decided to shoot the remaining songs with Mahira Khan who plays SRK’s love interest – but outside India and a country where nobody could object. Mahira has received a good response too in the trailer and the makers are more confident. They decided to fly to Dubai first and shoot one song in Abu Dhabi or Bahrain and then fly to Morocco for the second. It is all being done under the utmost secrecy and is very hush-hush till the songs are shot and the team flies back, so that nobody finds out. Whatever patchwork remained was complete a few days back with SRK in Mumbai. After the two songs are shot abroad, Raees is complete.”

A video posted by Fawad And Mahira ? (@fawadandmahirasquad) on Dec 15, 2016 at 5:31am PST

A source told SpotboyE, “Pritam has composed a couple of songs for the film out of which one is definitely going to be included in Raees. The song could be shot in Morocco or Dubai as Shah Rukh’s schedule already includes a visit to these places.”

There are reports that the Mahira Khan has demanded that her role remain the way it was in the original or else should be fully removed. She doesn’t wish what happened to Fawad Khan in Ae Dil Hai Mushkil for her.

A source further informed Mid-Day that the leading lady has demanded that her role remain the way it was in the original or else nothing at all. She doesn’t wish what happened to Fawad Khan in Ae Dil Hai Mushkil for her.
“She wanted either a well-fleshed out role like the story originally had, or nothing at all. She wasn’t okay with a superfluous part like Fawad’s in ADHM. Though the makers tried to reason with her, they eventually conceded that she doesn’t deserve a raw deal. It was a deliberate move to feature her prominently in the trailer too,” the insider further elaborated.

One can only wonder if the reports are original or not because if this is really happening then, it surely is going to be great since we will get to see more of our Diva in Raees.

Mahira Khan is one of those people who are not only gifted in beauty and talent department but also have an extreme amount of good luck flowing her way. She is currently the highest earning female in our industry and her fame and success is going upwards and onwards, with no plateau in near sight.

She has just packed up on her shoot with Bilal Lashari and now working on her next project where she is paired with Fawad Khan and this will be their first one together after the enormous appreciation that Hamsafar received.

In the midst of this all, Mahira Khan is now off to Beirut to attend one of the most prestigious ceremonies of the Middle East, called the Beirut International Awards Festival as a representative of the Lollywood film industry.

The Beirut International Awards Function or BIAF as generally called, will air on July 9, 2017 where it will be aired live in 7 countries. It is attended exclusively by dignitaries from every field including art, finance, film, drama and humanitarian causes around the globe.

The unofficial ban on Pakistani artists is keeping them away from India. It has been over three months now since India has imposed the ban and from what it looks like, the scenario is likely to remain the same for a very long time. Initially the question was whether Fawad Khan’s Ae Dil Hai Mushkil will release or not and now it’s all about Mahira Khan.

Oh the nerves of the first song we shot…?? Shoutout to the best team ever.. Shabana, Krys, Sheetal! P.S doesn’t help when you’re watching VD bust moves on Tv!

Mahira is going to make her Bollywood debut with Shah Rukh Khan in Raees and according to the reports she won’t be promoting her upcoming flick in India since the MNS leader has warned the makers of Raees. Recent rumors doing the rounds are that Mahira will still join Raees promotions but via Skype! Yes, the film makers have apparently found a way out for Mahira to be a part of the film promotions in India and according to a report in Mid-Day, she will be giving interviews via Skype.

Mahira Khan’s upcoming Bollywood debut film Raees is set to hit the cinema globally on January 25, 2017. Though we still don’t know if the film will release in Pakistan or not but the expectations are held high. Raees was under threat in India and MNS will only let it have a safe release on the condition that Mahira wouldn’t fly to India for the promotions which is devastating for the diva since she can’t promote her film.

Well, recent reports suggest that Mahira might join the lead, Shah Rukh Khan to promote their upcoming flick in Dubai across the malls and public places.

The duo had earlier even shot for a song in the Middle East. Talking about Mahira’s absence, Raees’ director Rahul Dholakia had earlier stated, “We do miss Mahira a lot and she is an integral part of the film. But in such a scenario, there is nothing that’s left to be done. She had come down to Mumbai a few years ago and executed the audition scenes beautifully,” reported DNA India.

The gorgeous Mahira Khan is back  with more power and will be seen in an upcoming movie “Uninhibited”. According to the sources, the news has just been cracked on her official fan page with the following clicks from the set of the movie. Although it is difficult to state more about the venture as no official announcements have been made regarding the film and all for now is the fact that your favorite Mahira Khan will soon be seen in a movie.

Here are a few pictures, Have a look!

The trailer of Raees had finally released and we sure saw Mahira Khan in it. She had an appearance of about 20+ seconds in the trailer and looked extremely stunning . The makers of Raees stood their ground and did not cut Mahira Khan’s role fully in the movie as the actors should not suffer for no fault of theirs. They have kept their promise as Mahira is very much there and we are loving her part in the trailer. But the question which rose now is will she be a part of raees promotions? Earlier there were reports that Mahira will not be attending Raees promotion but the recent trailer launch event of Raees showed us a a different story.

In an interaction with media the director of the movie was asked if he would call Mahira for promotions of the movie, to which he said “If we find it necessary to bring her here and involve her in the promotions, of course, she will come. I don’t think there is any restriction for her from the government as such. Aisa nahi hai ki they have stopped issuing visas to anybody to come from there. So I think as and when we will decide to involve her, we’ll get her to come.”

The Humsafar girl has grown leaps in bounds in popularity and brand value in last few years.  She is the face of many popular brands as well as brand ambassador for a lot of famous fashion, style and makeup names.

She is now heading to the UK where she is invited to the UK Asian Film Festival 2018. Her most recent film Verna will also be screened in Leicester and London in March. After attending the gala dinner to mark the inauguration for the festival, Mahira will also be participating in an interactive question answer session.

Superstar Mahira Khan became a part of a major controversy when a few of her images leaked in which she was seen smoking with Bollywood superstar Ranbir Kapoor in New York. No one knows that who ripped the grapevine but the pictures caused a huge outburst and Mahira received hate like never before.

Mahira Khan recently appeared in Ghabrana Mana Hai. Vasay Chaudhry gave Mahira hints about a picture and asked her how the picture affected her. Mahira assumed that Vasay is asking about her pictures with Ranbir and said that the impact that was created by the pictures is still there no matter what she do people always come up with her pictures.

“At that time what I went through I think it was the biggest learning experience of my life. That kind of trauma that you can experience because you know it was not just social media, it was headline news every day” said Mahira Khan. But later on, it turned out it was a picture of Sheheryar Munawar and Mahira Khan about which Vasay Chaudhry was talking.

Let’s have a look at the video:

There was a time when Mahira Khan was one of those celebrities who did not even have an account which she was running herself on any of the social networking sites. Things have drastically changed in that department for the past few months. Ever since Mahira Khan made her Twitter account she has always made an effort to stay in touch with her fans. Mahira Khan has also given her fans an opportunity to stay in touch with her through this account.

Many of her fans wished her on her birthday which was last month and Mahira Khan felt that it was necessary to thank all these fans for their love in person therefore she uploaded this thank you video which is very sweet and a special treat for her fans on her twitter page. Mahira apologized her fans for not being able to get in touch with them earlier because she had been busy with work and family.

Watch the video here:

Mahira Khan while talking to NDTV revealed how her experience of working in India had helped him with her dancing skills. She said,

“I have danced in the two films I have recently done, but I danced in Ho Mann Jahaan after I came back [from Bollywood] so you see a vast difference between the first film Bin Roye and Ho Mann Jahaan.“

She also went on to say,

“[The song] ‘Shakar Wandaan Re’ became very popular, and you see a lot of difference [in my dancing]. I danced khul ke [with abandon], and the credit goes to the choreographers in India, my director, Shah Rukh. They kept telling me ‘Just do it, just forget who’s watching!’. We’re not [like that]. Apart from our theatre, drama acting is focused up here [gestures towards face], so we’ve mastered the art of the closeup. We give the right expressions, we cry well, we do confrontations well, but when it comes to body language… you are constricted and cinema is not that.”

She further added,

“Even my director Asim [Raza] would tell me, “Khul ke nacho [dance freely], remember that I’m not taking your closeup, the shot is this wide, and it’s your entire body.”

Mahira said that the credit for her dance moves today goes to the experience she had in India. She said,

“So, those were the little little things, or should I say, big, big things, that I learned on the job in India.”

We wish Mahira Khan all the best.

Mahira Khan was recently in a controversy when she was spotted with Bollywood star Ranbir Kapoor in some leaked pictures in NYC. She got a lot of backlash from her fans but the industry supported her in the whole situation. Last night the trailer of her upcoming movie Verna was launched. A reporter asked Mahira about the controversy to which she answered. This was the first time Mahira talked about this. She said she has learnt from it and will be more careful in the future. Here is her reaction to the questions:

Mahira Khan talked to The Express Tribune about how she bagged the role in Raees, her first Bollywood movie. She discussed the details of her audition and her thoughts about working in the movie.

How long did you wait for a script, such as Raees, to come your way? Did you refuse to do any Bollywood films in the mean time?

I was neither waiting  for a perfect script from Bollywood nor had I read many. I got a call for an audition and wasn’t told the exact details of the film, except the names of the producers and the director (Rahul Dholakia), both of whom I liked. Once I read the scenes, I found them to be interesting and went ahead and auditioned for the role.

Media reports suggest that Shah Rukh showed up at your audition for Raees. If this is true, tell us about what the audition process was like. Were you confident that you would get selected for the role?

I just did what I had to: learnt my lines and gave it my best shot. I was nervous before the audition and thought I’d forget all my lines. I did meet Shah Rukh. He was very kind.

Shah Rukh plays a Muslim character in the film and you come from a Muslim family from Pakistan, where Urdu diction holds significance. Do you think this played in your favour?

I’m not sure if it played in my favour, but I hope that it does. The character is that of a Gujarati Muslim, so the diction and accent will be Gujarati.

Do you feel any pressure debuting opposite notable actors, such as Shah Rukh Khan and Nawazuddin, in a Farhan Akhtar production?

Well, yes. There is always a bit of pressure when performing with such good actors. I’m a fan of both Shah Rukh and Nawaz. Luckily, I’ve had the chance to perform with some of the best actors in Pakistan, who helped me out a lot on set. I also learnt a lot from them and hope for the same with Shah Rukh and Nawazuddin. Insha’Allah.

What edge do you think Pakistani actors have over Indian actors?

None. Only a good actor has an edge over a weak actor. A hardworking actor has an edge over a lazy actor. Nationality has nothing to do with it.

You worked in TV for a while after acting in the film Bol. How hard do you think will it be for you to re-transition into film from TV?

I have worked on a film Bin Roye and am currently shooting for another film directed by Asim Raza. So, the transition has been made already. What I’m nervous about is working in an environment where I don’t really know anybody. Everything will be new for me except for the camera, I guess.

A challenge starring opposite Shah Rukh is that it is difficult for any actor to outshine him due to his star power. What are your thoughts on that?

I don’t worry about such things. If my co-actor shines, it means I have shone as well and vice versa. These are not the kind of thoughts I focus on. I read a script, meet my director and go with my instinct.

It is that time of the year when all the people attached to the entertainment industry are awarded for their work. ARY Awards and HUM Awards were held recently and now Lux Style Awards are expected soon. Lux Style Awards are all encompassing and were there long before private channels started their award shows. Mahira Khan it appears to be is nominated in every award show and we see her bagging an award every time. This time she has been nominated for the best actress category for drama serial Sadqay Tumhare and the film Bin Roye.

While Talking to Express Tribune after the nominations were announced Mahira Khan shared what it felt like to be nominated and whether winning or losing meant something huge for her. She said,

 “It always feels good to be nominated. Winning and losing I don’t really care about. It is good to know that these people are watching our work and recognizing it.”

Mahira Khan also said,

“I don’t like the term ‘revival of Pakistani cinema’ being used again and again. I think the revival period is over, Pakistan cinema has been revived now we should stop using this word. We need to say that we are going to maintain what we have achieved. We have to continue churning out good films.”

Mahira Khan said that she had no information about why Raees’ release was delayed because it was the decision of the producer.

“It is upsetting when films are delayed, same happened with Bin Roye too.”

Mahira Khan also talked about her future plans.

“Because I thought Raees was coming out in July, I stopped taking any work. I couldn’t do some amazing films that came my way. I had to let go but now I have decided that I have to work. I am going completely crazy, I need to be on a set, I need to be acting, reading a script. I am looking into a few really good things.”

Mahira Khan said that the fans will find out very soon what she is doing next.

Mahira Khan is attending a lot of Morning Shows nowadays to promote her upcoming film Ho Mann Jahan. She was invited as a guest in Good Morning Pakistan in which she shared details about the shooting of the very famous song Shakar Wandan and the film in general.

Mahira Khan also talked about how she felt after working in India. Nida Yasir said that most Pakistani actors who work in India become arrogant. How did Mahira feel after working in India? She said,

“How can I be arrogant or proud of myself. I am proud of my country, very proud because whatever fame or respect I have today is there because I worked in Pakistani dramas and films. People recognize me because of the work I did in my country.”

Mahira Khan also talked about the threats she and Fawad Khan got from Indian extremist party Shiv Sena. Mahira Khan said,

“I have always stayed away from controversies. I have never resorted to controversial things to get fame because that would only create problems for me.”

Mahira Khan also shared that Sarmad Khoosat has this cute nickname for her which is “Gangu”. Mahira Khan is also known as “Mazdoor Khan” on sets because of her down-to-earth nature.

Talking about the shooting of the song Shakar Wandan. Mahira Khan said she had a fall and got injured a day before the shooting. She said,

“I rehearsed a lot for Shakar Wandan song and I was very sure that I was going to nail it but then you go to the sets and you fall on the second day of the shoot. Thank God I could come back on the set. The director said we will simmer the steps down. How could that be possible! It was Mehndi song, how could we simmer it down?”

Mahira Khan and all the others gave their best to this song. Even Shehryar Munawar fell while shooting for this song. Famous actress Nimra Bucha who is also a part of the film said Ho Mann Jahan is,

“The Rolls Royce of production!”

Here are some pictures from the show in which Mahira appeared.

Futher she also told how strict her mother was as compared to her father. She would make her study while she could see her brother and cousins play outside from the window. Whenever she used to refuse from listening to her mother’s instructions, her mother would threaten to burn her favorite yellow outfit. This shows Mahira’s mother is no different from our desi typical moms.

It seems like Mahira shares a beautiful bond of love with her parents. May this bond of love never fades!

Mahira Khan, who is now known to be one of the most versatile actresses of Pakistan, gained popularity after playing the character of Khirad in drama serial Humsafar. After winning the hearts of Pakistani audience by brilliantly performing in Pakistani movies and dramas, the actress set out to make her debut in a Bollywood film “Raees” alongside Shahrukh Khan. But sadly due to some political crisis, Mahira was asked to leave and MNS threatened to stop the release of the film which was scheduled to be released in January 2017. Even after such hardships, Mahira remains to be strong and has decided not to look back.

                                                       Mahira as Ayesha in Bol, Saba in Bin Roye, Shano in Sadqay Tumhare, Falak in Shehr e zaat and Khirad in Humsafar.

In a recent conversation with Women’s Own, she was asked about her future plans to which she replied;

“I’m working on a film directed by Shoaib Mansoor with an all new cast. After that I’m working on a really light comedy written by Vasay Chaudhry. I have also signed on a film with Azaan Sami Khan, so I’m going to be doing a lot of cool stuff.”

she also added that;

“I’d also like to produce and direct myself very soon. I just don’t know if I’d be able to handle actor egos. I wouldn’t make a film that’s too serious. I like commercial films, something to do with youth. Romantic comedies are my favorite.”

So the good news for all the Mahira Khan fans is that, they’ll see her in her up coming projects very soon.

Mahira Khan’s character in her upcoming Pakistani film is named “Manizeh”. Mahira has been invited to a lot of Morning Shows but she has never talked about her character in the film till now. Today Mahira Khan was invited to “Satrangi” in which she talked about her character in “Ho Mann Jahan” and what was the response of the fans when the team went to different colleges and universities to promote their film.

Talking about her character, Mahira Khan said that Manizeh was,

“Confident, secure, determined. She will be an inspiration for all the young girls out there. I would say that even I am not like that but I wish I was and many other young girls who will watch this film will find themselves wishing they were more like Manizeh.”

When Javeria Saud asked Mahira Khan about the love and reaction she gets when she goes out with the rest of the team to promote her film, she had a totally different story to tell! She said,

“Forget about my fans, boys are much more contained. Sheheryar and Adeel’s female fans are the ones who make all the noise and grab them in a way that sometimes I feel they will rip their shirts off. We let girls get away with a lot of things so they do many things which boys cannot dream of doing.”

Sonya Jahan has also joined the “Ho Mann Jahan” team in promoting the film. She was also there to talk about the film and her experience in the Morning Show.
