Mahira Khan Praises Imran Khan, Crowd Cheers

Pakistani actress Mahira Khan has consistently expressed admiration for Imran Khan’s leadership and has openly supported him on various platforms. Known for her poise and candor, Mahira reiterated her support during the Aalmi Urdu Conference 2024 in Karachi. She lauded Imran Khan, describing him as “very brave,” a remark that resonated strongly with the audience, drawing loud chants and applause.

The actress also showcased her charm and quick wit in a lively rapid-fire session hosted by Waseem Badami. When prompted with “Karachi,” Mahira affectionately responded with “home,” encapsulating her deep connection to the city. For “Lahore,” she referenced her blockbuster film by saying “Maula Jutt.” When asked to describe herself, Mahira hesitated briefly, prompting Badami to call her a “superstar.” Her response to “Imran Khan” was the simple yet powerful word, “brave,” further emphasizing her admiration for the former Prime Minister.

Mahira has actively participated in philanthropic events organized by the Shaukat Khanum Memorial Cancer Hospital, reinforcing her respect for Imran Khan’s humanitarian initiatives. In a nod to her appreciation for Pakistani talent, she paid tribute to designer Khadija Shah at her wedding function by wearing an elegant Elan sari. In an interview with Amna, Mahira praised Khadija’s work and resilience. Despite facing legal challenges, including jail time following the May 9 protests, Khadija Shah remains a prominent figure in the fashion industry and a staunch supporter of PTI.

Mahira’s openness extends beyond her political views. Addressing recurring questions about Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan during the conference, she handled the topic with grace. Responding to Waseem Badami’s inquiry about whether she finds it tiring to be asked about the “King of Bollywood,” Mahira shared her sentiments candidly. “I will never have enough of him,” she said, adding that while she willingly answers questions about him, she feels the topic is sometimes over-discussed.

As the only Pakistani actress to have worked with Shah Rukh Khan in the film Raees, Mahira holds a unique place in the industry. Her collaboration with the Bollywood icon has made her a frequent subject of discussion, but she maintains a balanced perspective, focusing on her journey and achievements while gracefully addressing the lingering curiosity around her association with the superstar.
