Pakistani actor Mahira Khan says she is sad about not being able to promote her debut Bollywood flick Raees in India.
In a recent interview to BBC Urdu, Mahira opened up about what she loved, feared and her forthcoming film. When asked if she was dejected about not promoting the film across the border, the actor said, “Of course, I feel bad. When you put so much effort and hard work in a project, you wish to see the results. I work with same dedication and zeal in all my projects, but Raees is very special.”
Talking about how Fawad’s role in Ae Dil Hai Mushkil was reportedly cut short due to India-Pakistan tension, Mahira said, “I’m not privy to that but I am content with my part in Raees.”
Mahira also reiterated how she absolutely loved her job. “I love my job! There is nothing that I do not love about it. Hope people like my work as much as I do. I want to live and die as an actor,” the star said.
Speaking about her fears, she said, “I’m scared about saying what I feel. I believe I’ll end up causing offence. It is unfortunate, though.”
Mahira revealed that she was on set when Zaalima was released. The actor said everyone there had gotten glued to it and liked what they saw.
Raees is slated to release on January 25.
