Mahira Hafeez Khan (hns; born 21 December 1984) is a Pakistani actress known for her work in films and television. One of the highest-paid actresses in Pakistan, she has received several accolades, including seven Lux Style Awards and eight Hum Awards.[1]

After working as a video jockey for various television shows, Khan made her acting debut in 2011 with a supporting role in Shoaib Mansoor's blockbuster social drama Bol (2011). She then played a troubled wife in the highly successful romantic television drama Humsafar (2011), which won her the Lux Style Award for Best Television Actress. She gained wider recognition for portraying a range of unconventional characters in several top-rated television series, including the religious drama Shehr-e-Zaat (2012), the biographical romance Sadqay Tumhare (2014), and the romantic drama Bin Roye (2016), all of which earned her multiple Best Actress awards and nominations.

Khan established herself by starring as the female lead in two of Pakistan's highest-grossing productions—the 2015 romantic drama Bin Roye and the 2016 coming-of-age musical drama Ho Mann Jahan. Her first project in Hindi cinema came with the crime thriller Raees (2017), which ranks among the highest-grossing Indian films of 2017. She received critical acclaim for her portrayal of a rape victim in the revenge drama Verna (2017), and an aspiring actress in the musical drama Superstar (2019). After a short break, she appeared in the 2022 action films Quaid-e-Azam Zindabad and The Legend of Maula Jatt, both of which became major box-office successes. She produced the sports-based web series Baarwan Khiladi (2022).

Outside of acting, Khan supports social causes related to women's rights and the refugee crisis. She has worked with UNICEF since 2019 and was appointed as the national and global UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador for Afghan refugees in Pakistan the same year. She has also co-hosted several award ceremonies and is a prominent celebrity endorser for major brands and products. Khan is known to be private about her personal life, which often attracts media attention.

Early life and education

Mahira Khan was born on 21 December 1984 into a Muhajir family in Karachi, Sindh, Pakistan.[2] In an online interview with Reham Khan, she said that her parents are Urdu-speaking Pathans. Her father, Hafeez Khan, was born in Delhi during the British Raj and migrated to Pakistan after the partition of India.[3] She has a younger brother, Hissan Khan, who is a journalist and entrepreneur.[4]

She received her early education at Foundation Public School, where she completed her A-Levels.[5] At the age of seventeen, she moved to California in the United States for higher education and enrolled at Santa Monica College. Mahira was the first woman in her family to travel abroad alone.[6] She later said that living in the United States on her own helped her become "strong and independent."[7] She then enrolled at the University of Southern California for a master's degree in English literature. During this period, she worked part-time as a cashier at Rite Aid. Reflecting on the experience, she said: "I used to mop floors, clean floors, run the till and shut the store at night."[2] After completing her first year, Khan decided to pursue her interest in acting and left her studies, returning to Pakistan.[5]

Career

Early work (2006–2011)

Khan began her career in 2006 as a video jockey at MTV Pakistan, where she hosted the live show Most Wanted five days a week.[8] She later hosted Weekend with Mahira on AAG TV in 2008, which featured interviews with celebrities.[9]

In 2011, she made her film debut with a supporting role in Bol, directed by Shoaib Mansoor. She played Ayesha, a friend of the lead character, and the film became one of Pakistan's highest-grossing films at the time.[10] The success of the film marked her transition from television presenter to actor.[9]

Breakthrough and television success (2011–2016)

Khan gained nationwide fame with the television drama Humsafar (2011), in which she played Khirad Ehsan opposite Fawad Khan. The serial, based on Farhat Ishtiaq's novel, became a cultural phenomenon in Pakistan and among South Asian audiences abroad.[9] Her performance earned her the Lux Style Award for Best Television Actress and established her as a leading name in Pakistani television.[8]

Following the success of Humsafar, she starred in the spiritual romance Shehr-e-Zaat (2012), portraying Falak, a woman on a journey of self-discovery and faith. The serial received critical acclaim and earned her the Hum Award for Best Actress.[11]

In 2014, she appeared in the biographical romance Sadqay Tumhare, written by Khalil-ur-Rehman Qamar, playing Shano. The drama, based on Qamar's real-life love story, was another success and earned her the Hum Award for Best Actress.[12]

Her next major television appearance was Bin Roye (2016), adapted from Farhat Ishtiaq's novel of the same name. She reprised her film role for the serial version, which became a commercial success and reinforced her reputation as one of Pakistan's leading actresses.[13]

Film career (2015–present)

Khan made her return to cinema with Bin Roye (2015), opposite Humayun Saeed and Armeena Khan. The film was both critically and commercially successful, earning her the Lux Style Award for Best Actress (Film).[14]

She next appeared in Ho Mann Jahaan (2016), a coming-of-age musical drama, alongside Adeel Hussain, Sheheryar Munawar, and Sonya Jehan. The film performed well at the box office and earned her another Lux Style Award nomination.[15]

In 2017, she made her Bollywood debut in Raees opposite Shah Rukh Khan. The film was a moderate commercial success, nonetheless, ranking among the highest-grossing Indian films of the year.[16] Due to political tensions between India and Pakistan, she was unable to participate in the film’s promotional activities in India.[17]

Later that year, she starred in the social-drama Verna, directed by Shoaib Mansoor, playing a rape survivor seeking justice. Her performance received widespread praise and a nomination for the Lux Style Awards for Best Actress.[18]

In 2019, she appeared in the romantic musical Superstar opposite Bilal Ashraf. The film was commercially successful and her performance was positively reviewed.[19]

After a brief hiatus, she returned to the screen in 2022 with Quaid-e-Azam Zindabad, an action-comedy film opposite Fahad Mustafa, which became one of the year's highest-grossing Pakistani films.[20]

The same year, she starred in the epic action film The Legend of Maula Jatt alongside Fawad Khan, Hamza Ali Abbasi, and Humaima Malick. The film became the highest-grossing Pakistani film of all time and was lauded for its production, direction, and performances.[21] Khan's portrayal of Mukkho received widespread praise from both critics and audiences.[22]

Other work

Apart from acting, Khan has also worked as a singer and producer. She once mentioned that director Shoaib Mansoor encouraged her to sing for his film Verna (2017).[23]

In 2021, she started her own company, Soul Fry Films, and produced the web series Baarwan Khiladi (2022) with Nina Kashif.[24][25]

She has also appeared in brand campaigns and spoken about the importance of Pakistan–India collaborations in film and local digital content.[26]

Personal life and off-screen work

While studying in the United States, Khan met businessman Ali Askari in 2005.[7] She moved back to Pakistan the following year and married him in 2007.[5] The couple have a son, Azlaan, who was born in 2010. Khan and Askari divorced in 2016 and share custody of their son.[5] In 2019, she began dating entrepreneur Salim Karim, which she confirmed in an online interview with Hassan Sheheryar Yasin in 2020.[27] She married Karim in an intimate ceremony on 2 October 2023 in Bhurban.[28][29]

Khan has also taken part in charitable work. She visited Dubai (along with Maya Ali and then Prime Minister Imran Khan) and Los Angeles to raise funds for the Shaukat Khanum Memorial Hospital in 2018 and 2019.[30] She has worked with the UNICEF since 2019,[31] and was appointed as a national and global UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador for Afghan refugees in Pakistan in the same year. Her work was praised by the UN Secretary-General António Guterres during his visit to Pakistan in February 2020. Khan often speaks on issues such as women's rights, child safety, and gender-based violence. On Women's Day in 2020, she collaborated with Shoaib Mansoor on the music video "Dua-e-Reem".[32] The song, a modern take on Lab Pe Aati Hai Dua by Allama Iqbal, was set in the pre-partition era and featured her as a young woman reflecting on justice and equality after marriage.[33] The song was widely praised and became popular across the Indian subcontinent.[34][35][36]

In 2018, Khan and her brother Hissan[4] launched a clothing line, Mashion!.[37] Later that year, the two founded a media platform of the same name that focuses on empowering women and spreading awareness about mental health in Pakistan.[38] In 2020, she hosted Khandani Kitchen, a YouTube show by Mashion featuring male celebrities cooking traditional dishes.[39] In September 2020, she joined the Commonwealth of Nations campaign "No More", raising awareness about sexual and domestic violence.[40]

On 6 November 2024, Khan received the Lifetime Achievement Award from the UK Parliament for her work as a cultural ambassador and her contributions to women's empowerment.[41]
