Mahira Khan is loved not just in her homeland but also across India and she is often asked about her bond with Bollywood icon Shah Rukh Khan.
In her latest interview, her response to a question about SRK has once again gone viral. During a fun segment on a talk show, a host asked Mahira to choose between her Humsafar co-star Fawad Khan and her Raees co-star Shah Rukh Khan for her next film.
Calling it an “impossible” choice, Mahira refused to pick either of them and joked, “Yeh galat sawal hai.” Instead, she pointed towards her fellow guest and announced, “Exactly, I will do a film with Fahad Mustafa,” taking everyone by surprise. Mahira had appeared on the show with Fahad Mustafa to promote their upcoming film Aag Lagay Basti Mein.
For the unversed, Mahira and Shah Rukh Khan shared screen space in the 2017 Bollywood film Raees, where SRK played a Gujarati gangster and Mahira starred as the female lead. Despite the ban on Pakistani actors in India, Mahira has continued to express her admiration for Bollywood and often recalls her experience of working with Shah Rukh fondly.
She has frequently described Shah Rukh as her “childhood love” while also acknowledging her iconic on-screen chemistry with Fawad Khan.
On the professional front, Mahira Khan has a busy year ahead. She will next be seen in Aag Lagay Basti Mein with Fahad Mustafa, expected to release on Eidul Fitr 2026.
