Pakistani Heroes Share Interesting Stories About Meera

Legendary Pakistani actors Javed Sheikh, Babar Ali, and Rambo Saud took a delightful walk down memory lane—and their destination was none other than the enigmatic star Meera. Their tales, shared during Madeha Naqvi’s Eid special, offered audiences a treasure trove of interesting stories about Meera, filled with laughter, nostalgia, and a glimpse into the eccentric charm of one of Pakistan’s most talked-about actresses.

The Enigmatic Charm of Meera on Set

Rambo, known for his comic timing and larger-than-life presence, painted a vivid picture of Meera’s spontaneous spirit. “She’d be right in the middle of a scene,” he recalled, “and suddenly pause, looking confused. Then she’d say, ‘What’s next in the script? Let’s do it again.’” It was a peek into Meera’s intense need for perfection—even if it came in bursts of sudden memory lapses and reset buttons mid-shoot.

Saud, chiming in with his own memory, recounted a moment during a shoot in the Maldives. Meera, dressed for a climactic dance sequence, stumbled and fell right before the camera rolled. But in true Meera fashion, she dusted herself off, flashed her signature confidence, and said, “Let’s retake.” No drama, no delay—just determination cloaked in elegance.

Javed Sheikh’s Director’s Cut: A Turkish Tale

Perhaps the most cinematic of them all was the story told by Javed Sheikh, who not only acted alongside Meera but also directed her in films. While shooting Chief Saab in Turkey, Meera’s character was meant to appear in a rustic countryside scene wearing jeans. Instead, she arrived in a completely different outfit. Furious yet composed, Sheikh explained the need for authenticity. Minutes later, Meera returned—this time perfectly dressed. The twist? She had borrowed jeans and a shirt from a local girl in the nearby village just to meet the director’s vision.

“She didn’t argue. She found a solution. That’s Meera,” Sheikh summed up with a smile.

Mahira Khan Breaks Silence on Viral London Chaos

During the global promotions for the film Love Guru, Mahira Khan and Humayun Saeed brought star power to cities from the USA to Pakistan. But amidst the glamour and cheers, an unsettling moment in London sparked widespread social media buzz—and concern.

During a meet-and-greet in the UK capital, things spiraled out of control. Fans swarmed the venue, overwhelming the event’s security setup. Mahira, caught in the chaos, found herself uncomfortably surrounded, with a guard getting too close for comfort. Videos quickly went viral, drawing criticism over the lack of proper security for an artist of her stature.

What stood out, though, was Humayun Saeed’s swift reaction. He pushed through the crowd, shielding Mahira and vocally confronting those creating the commotion. The moment, dramatic and emotional, became a point of public discussion.

Now, speaking candidly on the show Buzz, Mahira Khan finally shared her thoughts on the incident—and on Humayun’s protective gesture.

“I’m a strong woman,” Mahira asserted. “I don’t usually look around for help when I’m in a tough spot. In fact, I act like I don’t need help at all.” But this time, she admitted, her silence spoke volumes. “When I looked at Humayun, he knew. I didn’t need to say anything.”

Humayun, sitting beside her, added, “I sensed she was uncomfortable. It doesn’t matter if it’s Mahira or any other woman—if someone’s in distress, I’ll step in.”

Humayun Saeed and Mahira Khan’s latest movie Love Guru has stormed past The Legend of Maula Jatt, setting a new benchmark in box office history.

Released strategically over the Eidul Azha holiday, Love Guru has not only captivated audiences nationwide but also carved a formidable presence in international markets. The film raked in a massive Rs120 million during its first week, eclipsing The Legend of Maula Jatt, which had previously held the record with Rs110 million. Its worldwide tally now sits at an astounding Rs280 million, sending ripples of excitement through both fans and filmmakers alike.

The secret to Love Guru’s meteoric rise? A magnetic blend of star power, heartfelt storytelling, and calculated marketing brilliance. The beloved pairing of Humayun Saeed and Mahira Khan—arguably the most bankable duo in the Pakistani entertainment sphere—has once again proven irresistible. Their palpable on-screen chemistry, guided by the seasoned directorial finesse of Nadeem Baig, has drawn fans in droves, from Karachi to California.

Speaking at a buzzing promotional event abroad, Mahira Khan beamed with optimism, expressing her dream for the film to reach the Rs1 billion mark. With her characteristic charm, she urged the crowd, “Everyone say Ameen,” turning a hopeful wish into a viral moment.

Meanwhile, Humayun Saeed, ever the showman, gave credit where it was due. “Nadeem Baig is the best director in the country,” he declared with conviction, cheekily adding, “He charges me full price, but he’s worth it.”

What’s more, Love Guru isn’t just breaking numbers—it’s reviving the pulse of Pakistani cinema. Industry experts have lauded the film as a sign of renewed global interest in local storytelling. With packed screenings in the UK, US, and Gulf states, it’s clear that the film’s success extends far beyond domestic borders.

Saeed noted, “If my film earns Rs500 million in my own country, that would be enough for me… but I hope it will go beyond that.” Judging by the momentum, it just might.
