Her first ever interview appeared in Dawn’s Images almost exactly ten years ago. She was then a VJ for MTV Pakistan with stars in her eyes. Not much has changed for Mahira Khan. She is still the lithe, waif-like girl with the easy megawatt smile whose eyes grow big when she is excited. She still seems unsure of herself and second-guesses herself constantly. She still makes wishes when she passes through tunnels, believing that tunnels have the power to make her wishes come true. For all her exposure since and despite now being a mother to a seven-year-old, you can tell that she is still inherently shy. Three days from today, she’s about to make her Bollywood debut, opposite possibly the biggest star of the subcontinent. Everything has changed for Mahira Khan.
