We are the present. What we do and how we do it, is our future. Thank you to all those who have come out to support me- I did not ask for it and that makes it even more special. As an artist I am proud of my industry. I’m grateful to my senior artists for paving the way for people like me and so many others. I am also proud of myself. In this journey of mine, I can proudly say that I have done what I thought was right and never succumbed to what others thought was right for me. That - I will continue to do. InshAllah. In a world full of hate, let’s choose to love. Let’s be tolerant of other people’s opinions and let our fight be against the mindset -that a successful woman is a scary thought. No it isn’t. It’s a beautiful and empowering one. Let us stop picking on one another so that this industry and our country thrives like no other. I read somewhere that ‘Stardom’ in Latin means - thank you to the fans when it was lonely. Stardom it is then! Love and Gratitude, X

A veteran actor, Firdous Jamal, made some controversial remarks about Mahira on Faisal Qureshi’s morning show where he said she shouldn’t play lead roles because she’s too old.

His comment immediately sparked social media outrage. Firdous was condemned for his remarks. Several Pakistani celebs also come out in Mahira’s support and called out Firdous for his ageist remarks.

Few days back, Pakistani actress Javeria Abbasi also made similar comment about Mahira where she said Mahira is only beautiful but lacks acting skills.
