Mahira Khan took to social media on Sunday to reflect on the journey of her latest theatrical release, Aag Lagay Basti Mein, sharing a heartfelt note of gratitude for everyone who contributed to the on-set experience.

She extended special thanks to her director for his faith in her, her co-actor for crafting unforgettable moments, and her makeup artist for authentically bringing her character, Almas, to life.

Mahira started her post by mentioning the director Bilal Atif Khan, highlighting the time he brought the script to her for reading. She said in her post, "When Bilal came to me with this story.. I was listening with my eyes wide open, laughing while he narrated it. And then I told him I can’t do this, no one will believe it or want to believe it. He said - ‘for me it’s only you!’."

Mahira praised the director further and how proud she was of him, stating that she may have cried "like your ama did for you". She said to always believe in himself, "the world is your oyster my friend."

She then mentioned her long-time stylist and friend Baber Zaheer, thanking him for putting life into her character. She wrote, "Everyone who came on board just became attached to the characters and the story. Babar, you made Almas raw yet beautiful. Love you"

She further mentioned her manager, saying, "Anushay thank you for the faith you had in me."

Next, she acknowledged the cinematographer and filmmakers Abid Rizvi and Salman Noorani, highlighting their excellence in work and sending them well wishes for future projects. In her words, "Talking about frames.. Hello abid! As azlan said.. frames were so cool," she continued giving him well wishes for the future.

Mahira also mentioned the debut actor Tabish Hashmi for his brilliant work and said that sharing a frame with Javed Sheikh was a lifetime honour. She gave honorary tribute to the ADs, technicians, spot boys, drivers, wardrobe assistants, and guards.

Lastly, she mentioned the movie’s producer and her co-actor Fahad Mustafa, saying, "Thank you for having the guts to make this film. Thank you for having a heart big enough to give space for everyone to shine. Thank you for having the passion to make a film like this. Thank you for being a co-actor who elevates everyone around them. Fahad Mustafa, THIS is your win, never change the way you are. Ever."

Closing off her post, Mahira made a final mention of the audience for making her “small baby” a big success. She shared her happiness and gratitude for their support, signing off as Almas, her character in the film.

Mahira Khan’s film Aag Lagay Basti Mein has now entered its third week in theatres, showing across Pakistan as well as internationally in the US, UK, UAE, Canada, Qatar, Bahrain, and Oman.

The story follows Barkat (Mustafa) and Almas (Mahira), a couple with big ambitions but limited means.
