Mahira Khan: I have been misquoted and it is completely ridiculous!

Pakistani actress Mahira Khan recently made her dream Bollywood debut in ‘Raees’ opposite Shah Rukh Khan. Unfortunately for her, she could not promote the movie in India owing to the cross border tension between India and Pakistan post the Uri attacks. Dejected by this the actress recently said, “I also want to promote the film. I also want to be in an interview with Shah Rukh Khan talking about it. Why not? Why is it I get told that that’s asking for too much? It isn’t! It is my right. This was also my film.”

While many feel it was her huge fan following in Pakistan that helped her bag a role in ‘Raees’, a leading website recently had a different tale to tell. The website reported that before ‘Raees’ happened, Mahira had been staying in Santacruz with a roommate and was struggling to get work. She had been auditioning and trying really hard before she was picked by Rahul Dholakia as the leading lady opposite SRK.

Mahira however took to her Twitter handle and tweeted that she has been misquoted and the story about her being in Mumbai prior to ‘Raees’ and struggling for work is ‘completely ridiculous’.
