WEB DESK: Mahira Khan, who is gearing up for her Bollywood debut with superstar Shah Rukh Khan in Raees, said working with the Indian superstar has been a dream come true. She also said she is nervous about the movie’s release.
“It’s my dream come true to work with Shah Rukh Khan and also I am very excited about Raees. But more than this, I am nervous too,†Mahira said on the sidelines of Vogue Beauty Awards here.
“It feels like I am under pressure to show my acting skills,†she added.
When asked about a memorable moment with SRK, the Humsafar actress said: “The first scene, I thought I would be doing it smoothly, but as he (Shah Rukh) came in front of me, I forgot my lines. I will always remember that incident.â€
However, Mahira hopes she has done a good job.
“Being artistes, I and others (artistes from Pakistan) have been trying to represent our country. I hope I can do a good job, because I feel only that country develops which gives respect to the artistes,†she said.
Mahira made her acting debut with a small role in Shoaib Mansoor’s Bol, but it was Hum TV’s blockbuster serial Humsafar opposite Fawad Khan, which took her to new heights of fame.
Talking about a possibility of working with Fawad again, she said: “I know people loved our chemistry, but we both are busy with our projects. Therefore, it’s going to be tough.â€
Directed by Rahul Dholakia, Raees is scheduled to be released on January 26 next year.
