Mahira Khan, who was invited as a guest speaker at the 20th annual UK Asian Film Festival London, also bagged an award at the event. She was honored with the Contribution to Film and Activism Award.
She dedicated the award to her son Azlan, “Thank you, I’m going to keep it short. Yes like you said, your son told you that you should mention him and I always ask my son, ‘What do you think I should say, should I thank you?’ He’d say, ‘Please, don’t thank me.’ So I hope someone’s recording this. This one’s for you Azlan.”
“I had two dreams when I was growing up. One, I wanted to get married. I was 10 years old and I was like shaadi karni hai (I want to get married), because I had seen all our cousins and I was like this is a lot of fun. And my second wish was mujhay Shah Rukh Khan kay saath film karni hai (I want to do a film with SRK),” she said.
What a brilliant achievement, Mahira!!
