Mahira Khan has once again proved she is a huge Shah Rukh Khan fan. The Raees actress turned her working Sunday into a fun day by wearing a customised T-shirt featuring SRK.
She shared pictures of her outfit on Instagram, saying she brought him along to make the day more fun. Fans loved her tribute to her Raees co-star and filled the comments with excitement.
Mahira Khan Wears Custom SRK T-shirt
Mahira and Shah Rukh won hearts with their chemistry in Raees (2017). Their fans have been eager to see them together again, especially now that Bollywood has relaxed restrictions on Pakistani artists. Speculation about a reunion is growing, and Mahira’s latest gesture has added to the buzz.
Until that happens, she found another way to keep SRK close by wearing his face on her T-shirt. Her outfit created a frenzy among fans, who called it a perfect crossover moment.
Sharing the photos, she wrote, “Working on a Sunday.. brought him along to make it a fun day.”
How Mahira Khan Got Raees
Mahira’s journey to Raees had an interesting backstory. Director Rahul Dholakia once said the team had difficulty casting the female lead. They wanted an actress who could play an ’80s Muslim girl, speak fluent Hindi, and bring innocence to the role.
He explained that Bollywood stars like Deepika Padukone, Kareena Kapoor, and Anushka Sharma were considered, but they were either too expensive or didn’t fit the part. Sonam Kapoor and Katrina Kaif were also on the list, but the team felt they weren’t the right choice.
The breakthrough came when Gauri Khan’s mother and the director’s mother both recommended Mahira after watching her in Pakistani dramas. The casting director brought her in for an audition at Excel Entertainment, and after watching her performance, Dholakia knew she was the perfect Aasiya.
Raees’ Box Office Performance
Raees, an action-packed crime drama set in Gujarat, was released in 2017. The film followed Raees Alam, played by Shah Rukh Khan, as he navigated the bootlegging business while facing political and legal challenges. Mahira played Aasiya, his love interest.
The film was a SEMI-HIT at the box office, earning approximately Rs 304 crore worldwide. Even with its high production budget, it ranked among the top-grossing films of the year.
With Bollywood opening doors for Pakistani artists again, fans are eager to see Mahira and SRK reunite for another project. Though nothing has been confirmed, Mahira’s latest post has sparked fresh excitement.
