After penning a heartfelt note on Instagram to thank fans for all their help, Mahira Khan has ended her quiet over Firdous Jamal's sexist remarks about her.
On Saturday, a clip from Faysal Qureshi's show began doing the rounds via social media in which visitor Jamal shared: "I'm sorry to say if someone likes it or not, but Mahira is not heroine stuff. She's a mediocre sort of a model, she's not a good actress and is not a heroine."
Thankfully, peers from within the fraternity stood up for Mahira.
The Raees heroine and actress tended to the fiasco in an ongoing Independent Urdu interview.
At the point when solicited what she supposes from the debate,Mahira Khan answered, "I have said what I wanted to say. I usually don't say anything because people always have something to say about public figures. We are actors, of course people would say something about us, be they senior actors or fellow actors or public in general."
"I think this case has blown up because of social media and also because the entire industry jumped to my defense," she added.
"I am extremely thankful to them because in times like these, you find out how the industry feels about you. I didn't know it before since I'm not close to most people in the industry like that so this really meant a lot to me."
"As far as my reaction to his comment is concerned, I see that it's an opinion and one thing which really needs to be done is we control ourselves and respect each other as artists. If we don't respect each other then we really shouldn't be pointing out how other people are trolling celebrities. I think we should set an example by respecting each other first."
The actress additionally repeated that she has effectively played the character of a mother in Humsafar and would gladly play it once more.
"I plan on staying in the industry till I'm playing a grandmother and even a great grandmother and I actually look forward to that," she tossed in with a cheeky smile.
