Four
years
ago,
when
Shah
Rukh
Khan's
action-drama
Raees
hit
the
theatres,
the
film
found
itself
in
hot
water
owing
to
the
sour
relations
between
Pakistan
and
India.
Artists
from
Pakistan
were
banned
in
India
following
the
Uri
attack
in
Kashmir.
Consequently,
Mahira
Khan
did
not
get
to
promote
her
Bollywood
debut
film
in
India.
As
the
film
completes
four
year
today,
we
bring
to
you
her
interview,
wherein
she
had
admitted
that
she
was
heartbroken
about
not
being
able
to
sit
in
the
interviews
with
Shah
Rukh
Khan.
While
speaking
to
Dawn,
Mahira
had
said,
"I
was
coming
here
(Pakistan)
and
the
new
song
is
out.
Everyone
was
sending
messages
and
I
had
tears
rolling
down
in
the
car.
Again.
For
the
tenth
time!
And
my
hairstylist
sent
me
a
message
saying
'I
think
we
should
always
say
goodbye
with
tears
because
we
always
meet
again
when
we
do
that.'"
Mahira
further
said,
"I
don't
want
to
romanticize
things
but
by
the
end
of
the
two
years
we
had
people
crying
saying
goodbye.
And
I
am
so
indebted
to
all
of
them,
especially
my
director
Rahul
Dholakia
and
the
producer
Ritesh
Sidhwani,
who
have
stood
by
me
all
through
these
two
years,
even
at
the
worst
of
times."
"I
also
want
to
promote
the
film.
I
also
want
to
be
in
an
interview
with
Shah
Rukh
Khan
talking
about
it.
Why
not?
Why
is
it
I
get
told
that
that's
asking
for
too
much?
It
isn't!
It
is
my
right.
This
was
also
my
film,"
Mahira
had
spoken
her
heart
out.
In
the
same
interview,
Mahira
said
that
she
was
also
heartbroken
because
Pakistan
refused
to
release
Raees
after
raising
questions
over
its
content.
On
this,
Mahira
had
said
that
she
wanted
her
country
to
watch
Raees.
Directed
by
Rahul
Dholakia,
Raees
also
features
Mohammad
Zeeshan
Ayyub
and
Nawazuddin
Siddiqui
in
key
roles.
