Pakistani actress Mahira Khan, who starred opposite Shah Rukh Khan in director Rahul Dholakia’s ‘Raees’, opened up about her bipolar disorder in a recent FWhy podcast interview. She revealed that her illness was triggered after Pakistani actors were banned from working in India after the 2016 Uri attack. 'Raees' released in 2017, the same year that the smoking pictures controversy involving Ranbir Kapoor led to intense speculation. She described this period as 'unexpected' and shared that the negative attention added to her anxiety and depression, eventually leading to panic attacks and fainting.
