All hail Mahira Khan.
After controversial remarks were thrown Mahira Khan’s way by veteran Firdous Jamal, and almost the entire fraternity taking a sturdy stand for her in light of them, Mahira at long last responded in the most dignified manner.
Firdous Jamal outrageously said that Mahira was no longer heroine material and should opt for mother roles instead.
BYE.
Mahira Khan initially responded with a low-key Instagram post with the caption “desi me rollin’ they hatin” over the weekend.
The actress finally addressed the entire situation by penning a heartfelt letter about her trajectory as an actress and pleading with fans not to demean anyone’s opinion – however much they might disagree.
The actress wrote;
“We are the present. What we do and how we do it, is our future. Thank you to all those who have come out to support me- I did not ask for it and that makes it even more special.
As an artist, I am proud of my industry. I’m grateful to my senior artists for paving the way for people like me and so many others. I am also proud of myself. In this journey of mine, I can proudly say that I have done what I thought was right and never succumbed to what others thought was right for me. That – I will continue to do. InshAllah.
In a world full of hate, let’s choose to love. Let’s be tolerant of other people’s opinions and let our fight be against the mindset -that a successful woman is a scary thought. No it isn’t. It’s a beautiful and empowering one. Let us stop picking on one another so that this industry and our country thrives like no other.
I read somewhere that ‘Stardom’ in Latin means – thank you to the fans when it was lonely. Stardom it is then!
Love and Gratitude,
X.”
All hail Mahira.
