Pakistani actress Mahira Khan, who is making her Bollywood debut with superstar Shah Rukh Khan in Raees, said working with the Indian superstar has been “a dream come true”.
“I am very excited about Raees. But more than this, I am nervous too,” Khan said at the Vogue Beauty Awards in Mumai on Thursday. “It feels like I am under pressure to show my acting skills.”
When asked about a memorable moment with Shah Rukh Kha, the Humsafar actress said: “The first scene, I thought I would be doing it smoothly, but as he (Shah Rukh) came in front of me, I forgot my lines. I will always remember that incident.”
However, she hopes she has performed well.
“Being artistes, I and others (artistes from Pakistan) have been trying to represent our country. I hope I can do a good job, because I feel only that country develops which gives respect to the artistes,” she said.
Khan made her acting debut with a small role in Shoaib Mansoor’s Bol, but it was Hum TV’s blockbuster serial Humsafar opposite Fawad Khan, which took her to new heights of fame.
Talking about a possibility of working with Fawad again, she said: “I know people loved our chemistry, but we both are busy with our projects. Therefore, it’s going to be tough.”
Directed by Rahul Dholakia, Raees is scheduled to release on January 26 in India.
