Mahira Khan

Since the Indian film industry is one of the oldest, and I have grown up admiring all the movies, especially the classics starring Guru Dutt, I would love to work here.

Actors love to do good work irrespective of country and borders.

I am very much open to Bollywood and would love to work in great stories.

I'd love to work with Vishal Bhardwaj and Imtiaz Ali.

I love commercial cinema.

Money is not a driving force for me when it comes to my passion: that is, dramas and films.

I am very self-doubting; it has come out of experience.

I'm doing 'Maula Jutt 2,' which is a Punjabi film. For me, it's a new experience because I have never spoken Punjabi, and I hope everyone is going to love it.

Your life could be falling apart, but for your audience, you have to put up a show.

Through life's ups and downs, and the few mistakes we make and all the successes that we get, let nobody - nobody's opinion - define who you are. And if anybody defines who you are, let it be yourself.

Shah Rukh Khan is magic, really, honestly. He spoilt me for life. There's nothing you can't talk to him about, and we've had amazing conversations.

No matter how tough my life was, I was always looking up at the sky and wishing for good things.
