WATCH: When Mahira Khan Made Anti-India Comment In Old Video: Pakistanis Ko India Se Inspire Nahi...
Mahira Khan Old Video On India: Pakistan's favourite superstar, Mahira Khan, is all over the news for her second wedding with her long-standing partner, businessman and DJ Salim Karim. The couple tied the knot in a private ceremony, surrounded by their close friends and family.
Several photos and videos of the happy bride and groom have been doing the rounds on the internet. Meanwhile, going down memory lane, we stumbled upon an old video of the Raees actress, who once made an anti-India remark that caused her troubles on this side of the border.
Let us tell you that Mahira Khan began her career as a VJ for a MTV Pakistan show. She became a household name when she landed her first TV show, Humsafar, opposite Fawad Khan, and went on to become one of the Pakistani entertainment industry's biggest stars.
But it was in 2017 when the stunner got recognition after grabbing her debut Bollywood movie with King Khan Shah Rukh Khan in Raees. But the debut wasn't a pleasant one for Mahira, as, like many other Pak artists, she too had to face the consequences of the strained relationship between India and the neighbouring country.
When Mahira Khan said Pakistanis shouldn't be inspired by India
The video dates back to 2011, when Mahira Khan appeared on a chat show hosted by Pakistani comedian Omar Sharif. The Legend of Maula Jatt actor can be seen talking about her patriotism for her motherland. One can see her snubbing India and Bollywood while talking about the Pakistani film industry.
Taking a dig at India and Bollywood, she had said, "Aapko India se inspire nahi hona chahiye. Bilkul nahi. Hum Bollywood nahi hain. (You should not get inspired by India. Not at all. We are not Bollywood)." Her remark came when host Omar prompted that their nation comes first for them than anything else.
Watch the video below:-
For the unversed, Raees was released in 2017, and Mahira had not promoted the film in India as the release happened soon after the 2016 Uri attack that had worsened the already strained Indo-Pak relations.
Prior to the attack, several Pak artists, like Fawad Khan, Ali Zafar, Sajjal Ali, Saba Qamar, etc., made heavy inroads in Bollywood. However, following the attack, a blanket ban was put on Pakistani artists working in India.
