Mahira Khan

When we show our flaws, we show the world that we don't look pretty all the time.

I was a dreamer, and I still am one.

People have asked me about what it's like to work in Pakistan and abroad. It's such a healthy cultural exchange.

I work with the same dedication and zeal in all my projects, but 'Raees' is very special.

When you put so much effort and hard work in a project, you wish to see the results.

I actually never wanted to be a VJ. Never. It just so happened that I became a VJ, and I was actually kind of like, 'I don't want to be a VJ. I want to be in the movies.' So yeah, I always wanted to be an actor.

Everyone goes through things; everyone has a story. That's why strangers are so interesting. I don't find a single human being boring, man.

I've always been sensitive and over-emotional.

After 'Raees,' I used to wonder how I'd feel working on another film and to do this and still enjoy it - I know now I like acting; I enjoy it.

My understanding is the day I start looking at myself as a star is the day I will die as an actor.

I honestly didn't know how well Bin Roye would fare with audiences. I couldn't be indifferent while watching it. I kept seeing tiny nuances that I could have changed with my role.

I've been travelling, returning home for promotional appearances, and juggling it all with being the mother of a five-year-old.

I don't even have time to buy clothes.

I just want to do the best work wherever I go. It could be here in Pakistan or India or anywhere else.

When 'Humsafar' did well, every single person associated with it shined. Its DoP [Director of Photography], Shehzad Kashmiri, went on to become a huge director. So, a good and successful project just blesses everybody.

It isn't easy to break into Bollywood. But that's not my goal.

I don't want to be close to politics.

I was shooting for 'Bin Roy' and 'Ho Mann Jahaan' simultaneously.

Good films with great content is what I dream about.

I do only one film at a time.
