Pakistani actress Mahira Khan, who starred alongside Shah Rukh Khan in the 2017 Bollywood film Raees, recently delighted fans with a playful nod to her admiration for the Indian superstar. On 23rd March 2025, Mahira took to Instagram to share photos from her latest project’s set, where she brought Shah Rukh Khan along, but in a rather unique and fun way.
A fun caption and a nostalgic touch
What stood out was her choice of outfit—a black t-shirt featuring a print of Shah Rukh Khan’s face, adding a touch of fun to her workday. In her post, Mahira captioned the photos, “Working on a Sunday… brought him along to make it a fun day,” adding a sunglasses emoji. She also included the romantic song ‘Zaalima’ from ‘Raees’ in the background.
In the first image, Mahira stood at the door of her vanity van, dressed in blue jeans and white slippers. She kept her look simple with minimal makeup, a messy bun, and black sunglasses. The second picture was a close-up selfie with her hair open.
Fans were quick to react, filling the comments section with admiration. One wrote, “That tee and song, always an SRK fangirl!!,” while another commented, “Us Mahira us! SRK forever.” A fan also pointed out, “T-shirt… This is one of the coolest SRK pictures in his prime days.” Many others expressed their love with red hearts and fire emojis.
Mahira’s admiration for SRK
Despite the ban on Pakistani actors in India, Mahira continues to express her fondness for Bollywood and Shah Rukh Khan. She frequently incorporates Bollywood songs into her social media posts and shares heartfelt memories of her time in India. She has never hidden her admiration for SRK. In a 2024 interactive session on X (formerly Twitter), a fan asked what she had learned from SRK while working on ‘Raees.’ She responded with a quote from him: “Give happiness a chance, baby :).”
