Popular actress of Pakistan Mahira Khan was seen in a popular show Humsafar on Zindagi channel as Khirad. As the much loved show was acclaimed and won praises world wide for the ensemble and exceptional acting of the star cast, Mahira has been showered with lots of love and appreciation from the Indian audience too. With her recent visit to India, this Pakistani actress in conversation with us talks about doing Indian films and show with us.

Let’s see what Mahira has shared –

What quality the shows must possess to become a hit when compared to Indian shows?

Well I have only seen one Indian show long back that was Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, so I can’t comment on that. But I believe that any show be it Pakistani or Indian, it needs a good story line. If it has a good story and the concept, then I am sure it will be a hit. It’s not only with the shows but also with the films, if the content of a film or a show is good, it will get a good response.

It has been heard that whenever you get injured while shooting, that show and film becomes successful. How true is that?

Well, its absolutely true (Laugh). I know its quite funny but when I was shooting for Humsafar for the rain sequence, I fell down so badly that I was almost dead after which the show got immense popularity and was loved by the audience a lot. I was doing a film and while shooting, I fell down thrice and that turned out to be a blockbuster film (Laugh). So people around me constantly try to know whether I have fallen during the shooting or not.

Would you like do an Indian television shows and films?

No I would not like to do an India daily soap because I have heard that the shows have a run of long years and consist of many episodes. So I can’t do that because of my personal constraint. Even in Pakistan, when I read a script which is of thirty episodes, I feel that its very long, I feel instead I can invest my time for a film. I don’t mind doing telly shows or a reality shows but not a daily soap. I don’t mind working in an Indian film, if I get an opportunity, I will definitely do it.

We wishes Mahira Khan all the best!
