Mahira Khan: I became an actor only because of Madhuri Dixit

Mahira Khan is not just a pretty face but also a brilliant actor. The talented actor created a sensation in Pakistan with her award winning performance as Khirad in 'Humsafar' that will soon be launched on 'Zindagi'. Did you know Mahira would not have become an actress if it wasn’t for Bollywood diva Madhuri Dixit? The actress, who grew up watching Bollywood movies revealed that she decided to become an actress after watching the Dhak dhak girl on screen.

“I became an actor only because of Madhuri Dixit. I was watching Ram Lakhan and her song Bada dukh dina started playing. The moment I saw it, I told my mother, ‘I want to do it, I want to be on TV’. I used to always dance on Madhuri’s songs” says Mahira.

A huge Bollywood fan, Mahira expressed her desire to work with the likes of Imtiaz Ali and Vishal Bhardwaj.

Stay tuned to 'Zindagi' to catch the premiere of Humsafar this October!
