Mahira Khan wants to do ‘Raees’ interviews with SRK

Pakistani star turned Bollywood celebrity, Mahira Khan is unhappy that she can’t promote her debut film ‘Raees’ in the way it should.

Due to the ongoing conflict between India and Pakistan, stars from Pakistan have been banned in Indian films. Expressing her dismay, Mahira told Dawn News, “Why is it I get told that I am asking for too much?”

She added, “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.”

Asked how she felt about ‘Raees’ not getting a Pakistan release, she said, “I want my country to see this. I want everybody to see it, every person in the world. My friends keep saying you did it, it’s enough, you can just keep it in a box somewhere.I do that, but there’s a part of me that says, no, I want everybody to see my blood sweat and tears for these two years, because it’s been tough and I want people to see it even if I fail at it.”

‘Raees’ releases this week.
