As an artist I am proud of my industry. I’m grateful to my senior artists for paving the way for people like me and so many others. I am also proud of myself. In this journey of mine, I can proudly say that I have done what I thought was right and never succumbed to what others thought was right for me. That - I will continue to do. InshAllah.
In a world full of hate, let’s choose to love. Let’s be tolerant of other people’s opinions and let our fight be against the mindset -that a successful woman is a scary thought. No it isn’t. It’s a beautiful and empowering one. Let us stop picking on one another so that this industry and our country thrives like no other.
I read somewhere that ‘Stardom’ in Latin means - thank you
to the fans when it was lonely. Stardom it is then! Love and Gratitude.”
Her co-star Ashraf Bilal and many others hailed her reply on
Instagram. Ashraf, who will be seen with Mahira in the film Superstar, wrote,
“Nailed it @mahirahkhan super proud of u my Superstar :)”
