Mahira Khan is a superstar of Pakistani film and television industry. She has proved her mettle not only in Pakistan but also across the border. She has played a huge role in the film Raees with Bollywood's King Shah Rukh Khan in India. However, Pak-India tensions no longer allow artists to perform across the border.
In a recent interview with Anupama Chopra, a co-star of a film, Mahira Khan talked about her experience in the Indian film industry and the collaboration of co-stars, saying, "I think what happened in both countries is sad. I think, so I think we've moved on and we've missed a great opportunity for the whole subcontinent to come together and collaborate. I think it could happen again, but who's the final one?
"I was offered a lot at the time, it might sound strange but I was scared, I wasn't scared of what people would say but I was scared that I wouldn't know if I went there," she said. Maybe, but there was a lot I didn't want to lose.
On more opportunities to work with Indian actors, the expert said, "I'm not ashamed to say that I was scared to work with them, but I'm different. We stopped what happened politically in the past." No, but it affects your choice. So I don't think I will do anything more and I hope we will cooperate whether it is digitally or in some other way.
