Will not invite Mahira Khan if I ever host a show: Mikaal Zulfiqar

British-Pakistani actor and former model Mikaal Zulfiqar, who has been a part of several Pakistani shows and a few Indian and Pakistani films, says that he would not invite Pakistani actress Mahira Khan to his talk show if he were to host one.

Zulfiqar was in conversation with host Ayesha Jahanzeb on his talk show when he said so. When the host asked him which actor he would not invite to his talk show if he were to host one, he mischievously said, “Probably Mahira Khan, because she won't come.”


Zulfiqar added that he has approached the Raees (2017) star for several projects in the past, but she never accepted any.

“I have approached Mahira for many projects, but she is very hard to get,” he said.

For those not in the know, Mahira Khan and Mikaal Zulfiqar have previously worked together on the successful Pakistani show Shehr-e-Zaat, directed by Sarmad Khoosat.

In an earlier interview, when asked whether he would want to work with Mehwish Hayat or Mahira, Mikaal Zulfiqar, “Both, they are amazing, but if I have to choose one, I will go for Mehwish because Mahira won’t work with me.”

He continued, “I felt like she won’t work with me although we have shared the screen in Shehr-e-Zaat. You can ask Mahira Khan whether she will work with me or not.”
