Pakistani actress Mahira Khan and Bollywood actor Ranbir Kapoor’s viral pictures took the internet by storm. Though many people stood up for the Pakistani actress, the matter just doesn’t seem to end. In a recent interview to a magazine, Mahira revealed what actually happened and how she felt about the controversy.

Mahira claimed that she does feel she made a mistake and feels apologetic about it.

She said in an interview with Something Haute magazine, “I understand where all the criticism came from and it didn’t come from a place of hate. I’m not talking about the trolls but those who were genuinely disappointed to see those pictures. It’s the same disappointment that my nani or my mamoo would have felt seeing that. So even now when I meet an older lady who says that she didn’t like the pictures, I’m quick to apologize”.

Mahira Khan reportedly suffering from trauma

“People ask me if I’m a good role model for my fans, and my response to that is yes, I am a role model but I’m not the perfect role model. I am human, I make mistakes. And I was really happy to see that there were so many people who stood up for me. It goes to show that the narrative in Pakistan is changing, and if nothing else, I’m happy to have been part of that narrative,” she added.

Mahira Khan is currently looking forward to the release of her next film ‘Verna’, whose new rap song ‘Power Di Game’ released last month. The movie will hit theaters later this month.
