Despite these challenges, she remains a leading designer in the Pakistani fashion industry and continues to support PTI.

Earlier, Mahira Khan has cleared the air regarding claims that she is always spotted talking about Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan.

Recently, during the Aalami Urdu Conference 2024, she was asked if she ever gets tired of being asked about the ‘King of Bollywood’.

“Do you ever get annoyed with this topic… that whenever there’s an interview, they always ask how it felt to work with Shah Rukh Khan? Do you think it’s fine? I mean he’s a superstar… so people ask… but do you think it’s too much?” host Waseem Badami asked.

To which Mahira said she could never have “enough of him”.

“Well, I will never have enough of him, but I think when someone asks me, I answer. Then people think I’m talking about him, which I never do… what I feel is that they shouldn't even ask me.”

Mahira is the only Pakistani actress to work with Shah Rukh. Consequently, The Raees actress is also the only Pakistani star who has repeatedly been asked about her experience of working with him.
