How Mahira reacted
In the video, the fan is seen talking about how when she was new in the industry, many people told her to get her nose fixed, but she didn’t budge. The fan also recreated the moment when Mahira shared how much she enjoys her night-time routines, where she lights a candle and listens to a classical song. Mahira’s anecdote about her grandmother was also part of the video.
Soon, the video came under the attention of Mahira, who commented: “I laughed out loud watching this! (monkey face emoticon) You are brilliant yaaaar. Lots of love.”
A fan commented, “That ‘Nani ko itna bura’. Nailed that part.” Another said, “Wow!!! At first, I thought you were just doing lip sync.” A second fan wrote, “Sister sounds more Mahira than Mahira Khan (laughing face emoticons).”
More details
Mahira had a brief stint in Bollywood, but managed to woo audiences with her turn in Raees, where she was cast opposite Shah Rukh Khan. Did you know Sanjay Leela Bhansali even thought of Mahira for Heeramandi? In a new interview with Lilly Singh at the LA premiere of the May 1 release, the director revealed, “It was a film back then. I then also thought about Mahira Khan, the Pakistani actress, and Imran Abbas and Fawad Khan were also in my mind at one point in time. But I ended up with this ensemble cast.”
The actor was last seen in Pakistani blockbuster The Legend of Maula Jatt alongside Fawad Khan. The two actors will also be seen in the upcoming Netflix series Jo Bachay Hain Sang Samait Lo.
