Mahira Khan responds to removal of her picture from Raees poster

LAHORE: Film star Mahira Khan said that she laughed when she got to know about the removal of her picture from her movie Raees, in which she appears against Shah Rukh Khan.

Mahira khan spoke in an interview while she was promoting her upcoming release “Love Guru” alongside actor Hamayun Saeed.

“I didn’t feel bad about it, even for a second. I actually laughed about it. It was a very small thing to do, a silly thing to do,” Mahira said while adding that “We have so much to celebrate about Pakistani entertainment.”

Humayun Saeed supported her stance over the removal of the picture, saying that it was “a very petty thing to do.”

The removal came after India imposed a ban on Pakistani actors and YouTube channels, erasing the names of Pakistani artists from film credits and promotional materials.

Earlier, Superstar Mahira khan has responded to working again in Bollywood or any Indian entertainment project.

Responding to a question,  she 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.”
