Pakistani actress, Mahira Khan appeared in an interview with a publication and shared how she was scared of working in Bollywood projects after ban on Pakistani artists by Indian government following Uri attack in 2016.
The Raees actor said, âI guess, having experienced it first hand, itâs just sad. When I think about it...I mean, we have all moved on. Thatâs what we do, if we donât have this, we do something else. Thatâs what happens. But I feel like a great opportunity for the entire subcontinent to come together and collaborate was lost. I think it might happen again. Who knows?â
Khan added, âA lot of the other series were offered to me and at that time, I donât know if anybody will understand when I say this, I was scared. I was genuinely just scared. It wasnât about what people say, I was just like, âI donât know if I want to go there.â And there was some content which was amazing, and I didnât want to miss out on it.â
She further added, âBut I was scared and I have no shame in admitting it. Now I am a bit more like, âNo, come on yaar, you canât let something that happened, which was political, affect your choices.â So I donât think I will do that anymore and I hope that we collaborate, even if it's on digital or in any way.â
