Mahira Khan fangirls over Shah Rukh Khan
On Monday, Mahira took to Instagram and shared a picture of herself rocking a casual look while posing at the door of her vanity van. She was seen wearing a blue T-shirt and matching denim jeans, completing her look with a pair of sunglasses. However, what caught everyone’s attention was Shah Rukh Khan’s picture printed on her T-shirt.
Sharing the picture, she wrote, “Working on a Sunday… brought him along to make it a fun day.” She further took fans on a nostalgic ride by adding the song Zaalima from her film Raees in the background. In another picture, she was seen taking a selfie inside her vanity van.
Fans react to Mahira’s post
Fans were quick to spot Shah Rukh’s picture on her T-shirt. While some loved the way she was fangirling over the superstar, others criticised her for it. One comment read, “That tee and song… always an SRK fangirl!” Another user wrote, “That T-shirt… this is one of the coolest SRK pictures from his prime days.” Another commented, “Us, Mahira, us! SRK forever.” A fan even wrote, “Manifesting Raees 2.”
However, some criticised her admiration for SRK. One user commented, “Move over, Shah Rukh Khan—Mahira, please.” Another wrote, “She is still not over the Raees phobia.” Someone else added, “You are already one of Pakistan’s biggest stars. Such fangirling over a Bollywood actor doesn’t suit you.”
Mahira is often asked about Shah Rukh Khan in her interviews. She is a massive fan of him.
