Pakistani actress Mahira Khan, who starred alongside Shah Rukh Khan in the 2017 hit film Raees, recently delighted fans by sharing a fangirl moment on social media. She posted photos from the set of her upcoming project, and what caught everyone's attention was her customised t-shirt featuring a photo of SRK.
A Stylish Tribute to SRK on Set
In the pictures shared on Instagram, Mahira is seen striking poses beside her vanity van and inside her makeup room. Wearing a white t-shirt with Shah Rukh Khan’s photo, she paired the look with blue jeans, black sunglasses, and subtle make-up. Her hair was styled in a relaxed, messy bun.
Adding a nostalgic touch, she set the photo to the track ‘Zaalima’, sung by Arijit Singh and Harshdeep Kaur, from their film Raees. The caption read:
"Working on a Sunday.. brought him along to make it a fun day."
Fans React to Mahira's SRK Tribute
Social media users quickly reacted to the post, praising her gesture and style. Some top fan comments included:
- “That tee and song… always a SRK fangirl!!”
- “This is one of the coolest SRK pictures in his prime days.”
- “Us Mahira us! SRK forever.”
Addressing Criticism Over SRK Mentions
The post comes shortly after Mahira addressed criticism for mentioning Shah Rukh Khan in interviews. During her appearance at the Aalami Urdu Conference 2024, she stated:
"If you don’t want me to talk about SRK, stop asking me about him."
'Raees': A Memorable Collaboration
Released in 2017, Raees was a major box office success. Directed by Rahul Dholakia, the film featured Mahira Khan as the lead opposite Shah Rukh Khan, with Nawazuddin Siddiqui playing a key role. The film remains a fan favorite, particularly for its songs and on-screen chemistry.
