Khan continued, “In this picture i am sitting next to someone who not only believes in Mahnoor but has been a real Sunshine in Ayeza’s career as well.”
“During our Tvc shoot, he asked my mom, ‘This chatterbox can do wonders in acting if you allow her’, and he kept building that trust higher and higher,” the actor revealed. “Thank you, Asif uncle, for seeing what I hadn’t in myself. Your belief and confidence mean the world and now your kindness and support for Mahnoor in JaaneJahan are tremendous.”
Concluding the note, Khan added, “Anddddd Your on-screen and off-screen presence is indescribable! We love you, and may Allah always protect you and your family Ameen.”
