WASHINGTON: After boycotting Pakistani artists in India, Superstar Mahira khan has responded to working again in Bollywood or any Indian entertainment project.
Mahira Khan’s work has largely been watched in India and is best known for her roles in Humsafar, Sadqay Tumhare and films like Superstar and Quaid-e-Azam Zindabad.
She is currently promoting her film Love Guru alongside actor Humayun Saeed in the United States of America. Responding to a question, said, “I think we need to focus inwards; we need to focus on our own industry. I’m someone who doesn’t believe in the cancel culture or boycotts. I’m speaking broadly—I don’t think it’s the right approach.
“But given the current situation, we’re all emotional. Instead of advocating such strong stances, which becomes one’s prerogative because of circumstances, we should focus on ourselves. Also, in the end, it’s your country that is your safe space. I believe we should invest in ourselves, in Pakistan.”
