Superstar Mahira Khan has shared that her husband Salim Karim had been persuading her to get married for several years before the two finally tied the knot.

 

Mahira appeared on Nida Yasir’s Eid morning show alongside the cast of the film Love Guru. During the episode, she opened up about her personal life, emotions, and romantic nature.

 

“I don’t hide my emotions,” Mahira said. “I’m an expressive woman. I can’t keep anything hidden for long.”

 

 “I’m a romantic person in real life too, and I don’t delay when it comes to expressing my feelings,” she added.

 

In response to a question, she revealed, “Salim had been persuading me for many years to get married,” although she didn’t specify exactly how long.

 

Speaking about her husband, she shared, “He’s a shy person. He doesn’t like being in front of the camera, which is why he’s rarely seen with me at programs or events.”

 

She recalled one instance during a trip: “Once, when we went to London together, everyone recognized me and kept saying, ‘That’s Mahira Saleem Karim.’ After that, he stopped attending events with me.”

 

Mahira smiled as she added, “After our wedding videos went viral, people memorized his face. Now everyone recognizes him easily, but he’s not used to the spotlight.”

 

Wishing her husband were more emotionally expressive, she said, “I wish he was romantic, emotional, and quick to express his feelings like I am.”

 

She also mentioned that this was her second Eid-ul-Adha after marriage and noted, “There haven’t been many changes in my life after getting married.”

 

Mahira Khan married businessman Salim Karim in October 2023. This is her second marriage. She was previously married to Ali Askari in 2007. The couple had a son, Azlan, before parting ways in 2015 after eight years of marriage.
