EXCLUSIVE: Mahira Khan REACTS to her Bollywood bashing video that went viral before Raees release!

An old interview of Pakistani actress Mahira Khan on a Pakistani channel which had recently surfaced had deeply embarrassed the producers of her Bollywood film Raees. “We must never be inspired by India and Bollywood,” she is heard telling the anchor.

The anchor then goes on to tell what he thinks is a funny story about a Pakistani filmmaker who got so inspired by Bollywood that when his father died he cremated rather than buried the dead man. This is a morbid irrational insensitive and humourless jibe at a very sensitive ritual. Mahira can be seen laughing pleasurably at all this Bollywood-bashing.

Now, in an exclusive interview with DNA, Mahira has opened up about the entire incident. She said, "I felt it was so unnecessary. Because the fact is, I’ve always been such a big Bollywood fan from the time I was very young. I remember I’d watch new Bollywood films every Thursday night on a video cassette. The entire week I’d wait for that Thursday-night treat."
