The sheartress, Mahira Khan is under scrutiny for speaking about our neighboring country, India. Post the Uri terror attacks, a ban on Pakistani artists was put into place by the Indian authorities.
The actress is set for her Bollywood debut as the leading lady in Shah Rukh Khan’s Raees in the coming year, 2017. Recently a video in which Mahira commented on Bollywood has been making the rounds of social media.
The video excerpt is dated back to 2011 and has been taken from the Omar Shariff talk-show in which Khan was a guest.

A blanket ban on Pakistani artists like Fawad Khan, Ali Zafar and Atif Aslam who were working in India was implemented on the insistence of Raj Thackeray’s Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS).
We are now to wait and watch whether this new development will cause Raj Thackeray to revoke his ‘go-ahead’ for Mahira Khan in Raees.
