Now, in a candid interview with somethinghaute.com, the 32-year-old actress has opened up like never before. ““I’d be lying if I said that I decided right off the bat that I wouldn’t respond to this controversy. And I’m a very strong woman but when all of this happened, I was completely shattered and broken. I would think about posting a statement every day. Then I would stop myself because I just wouldn’t know what to say”, Mahira Khan was quoted as saying to the daily.

Furthermore, she went on to say that she’s a good role model for her fans irrespective of the London incident with Ranbir.
“People ask me if I’m a good role model for my fans, and my response to that is that yes, I am a role model but I’m not the perfect role model. I am human, I make mistakes. And I was really happy to see that there were so many people who stood up for me. It goes to show that the narrative in Pakistan is changing, and if nothing else, I’m happy to have been part of that narrative”, the actress added.
