keeping Mahira Khan at bay from promoting
her film Raees in India. Pakistani actress
Mahira Khan says she feels bad that she is
not able to promote her Bollywood debut
Raees in India due to the climate of political
tension between India and Pakistan. The 32-
year-old actress stars alongside Bollywood
superstar Shah Rukh Khan in the Rahul
Dholakia-directed film.
In an interview to BBC Urdu, Mahira said she
has put in a lot of effort in the project and
feels bad that she can't see the results,
reported Express Tribune. "Of course, I feel
bad. When you put so much effort and hard
work in a project, you wish to see the
results. I work with same dedication and
zeal in all my projects, but Raees is very
special," she said. Talking about Pakistani
actor Fawad Khan's role in Ae Dil Hai Mushkil
reportedly cut short due to India-Pakistan
tension, Mahira said, "I'm not privy to that
but I am content with my part in Raees."
Speaking about her fears, she said, "I'm
scared about saying what I feel. I believe I'll
end up causing offence. It is unfortunate
though." (ALSO READ: Mahira Khan joins
