Two of many such artists are our beautifully stunning actresses Mahira Khan and Mahwish Hayat. They are currently the gems of Pakistani cinema and have previously charmed us with their intriguing performances in the drama industry.

The ‘Humsafar’ Star

Don’t all of us remember Mahira from Humsafar? O yes, we do. It is one of the iconic dramas of Pakistan which is considered the revival of the drama industry. The kind which even the coming generations would watch. It is our generations Dhoop Kinaray and Nijaat. Humsafar is one of those Pakistani dramas that even has a fan base around the world and is available on Netflix to be watched globally.

It was said to have many European and North American fans who had never watched Pakistani dramas before but couldn’t get enough of Humsafar. The drama was even dubbed in Arabic language and gained immense popularity there becoming the most watched drama series. It was also aired in India and UK.

We cannot deny giving Mahira credit for the popularity of the show. She got us starstruck with her graceful acting and adorable pairing with Fawad Khan.

Mahira’s Acting Career

Mahira started her career in acting with a movie Bol where she paired with Atif Aslam. It was the highest grossing movie of all time. But after humsafar her career took a rise, bringing her in major limelight. She has ever since been baffling us her movies and dramas back to back.

The Humsafar star has even starred with the all-time famous Bollywood actor Shahrukh Khan in movie Raees. It was undoubtedly a big hit becoming the highest grossing Bollywood movie in 2017. Other movies that are part of Mahira’s career are Bin Roye, Ho Mann Jahan, Verna, 7 Din Mohabbat In.

Mahira is the first ever Pakistani actress who has debuted at Cannes. And oh my were we not charmed with all of her looks at the 11-day festival. From Sarees to Kaftan to flowy dresses - she managed to carry all of them gorgeously. We were proud to see Mahira representing Pakistan with such grace.

Mahira speaks up against social issues

We all respect Mahira for her social activism too. She visited Afghan refugees in Karachi telling people how proud she was to be the citizen of a country where the government is supportive of the refugees. 

Mahira has raised her voice against so many social issues one of which is rape and we totally agree with her take on it. The fact that Mahira is using her fame to address serious issues like these is appreciable. 

Mehwish Hayat The Tamgha-e-Imtiaz Girl

Coming to Mahwish Hayat, she’s our tamgha-e-imtiaz girl and has made us proud with her impressive performances whether it be on television or in cinema. The entertainment industry owes a lot this talented singer, model, actress. Her contributions to Pakistani industry have been acknowledged by the government and in 2019 she was given Tamgha-e-Imtiaz (Award of Excellence). Even though people at first weren't enough convinced for her to be deserving of it but eventually people figured out that she did. Mehwish didn’t underestimate her in either of the situations. 

Leading the movies with impressive releases

She has played a character in a number of super hit movies which were recognized for her amazing performances. A few of these movies are Na Maloom Afraad, Chalawa, Actor in Law, Jawani Phir Nahi Ani, Punjab Nahi Jaungi and Load Wedding. All of these movies have been lollywood hits with Chalawa currently in cinemas earning 6.4 crores in first 3 days.

Mehwish has also done the voiceover for 3 bahadur rise of warriors and is still looking for diverse acting opportunities. She has also featured in an Eros Now original web series Enaaya. It had caught a lot of attention for the lively role that our Gangster Guriya is playing in it. 

London Queen Mary University Had Mehwish Hayat As A Speaker

Pakistan high commission invited the star girl to share her experiences and struggles that she faced in the industry with the students of the London Queen Mary University. Her speech was centered around how she has been empowering women of Pakistan by being a voice for them.

She also shared that she was concerned about the item song that she had done and that she would be disregarded and criticize for it, But Mehwish however, still took the risk.

It was real pleasure to be able to address students at the prestigious Queen Mary's University in London and share my own journey as a Pakistani woman. It also gave me the opportunity to pay homage to one of the strongest women I know, my mother. "... my career, owes a lot to my mother. She has been my inspiration since I leaned to say mama! She tried her hand at a number of things in life, including acting and parenting, and I have no qualms in admitting that she did all of that better than me." #MehwishHayat #queenmaryuniversityoflondon #pakistanhighcommision #womenempowerment

The Item Song ‘Gangster Guriya’

Mehwish has recently featured an appearance in an item song ‘Gangster Guriya’ in the movie Baaji which is yet to release. The song took the internet with a wave of criticism on Mehwish. Some of us even questioned her worthiness of being given a tamgha-e-imtiaz.

But what none of us can’t deny saying is that her bold look in the song has left us breathless. Her dance moves are being compared with that of Katrina Kaif in ‘Kamli’.

While announcing the release of the song she captioned the post with some more women empowerment words. 

Singing Career of Mehwish

We were even more impressed when Mehwish featured in Coke Studio performing a song with Sheraz Uppal. She was already being loved for her acting, now the singing just added on our love for her. 

However, not everyone was living the vibe. She did get a lot of judgments on that too but again Mahwish isn’t the kind who cares about judgments.

Active Contribution Of Mehwish To The Society

Besides standing up for women empowerment Mehwish is contributing to the society with her influential position in many other ways too. She had visited Agha Khan children hospital in March where she spent time with the children and learned the whereabouts of the hospital. 

With every role she played, Mehwish has left us stunned with her acting skills and her gorgeous looks. We are certainly looking up to her to play more unique characters and leave us even more stunned than ever before.
