On Monday, Lollywood diva Mahira Khan dropped her newest collection, comprising three pristine white tunics, a pair of scalloped pants and one dupatta.
The 38-year-old is a powerhouse in the entertainment industry who has made a name for herself both in Pakistan and India. Her breakout role came in the hit drama Humsafar which skyrocketed her to fame and led her to co-star alongside Shah Rukh Khan in her Bollywood Debut. Her role in The Legend of Maula Jatt was the highest-grossing film in Pakistan and established her as a force to be reckoned with in the industry. Khan has captivated fans all over the world with her immense talent, beauty and grace.
Taking to Instagram, Khan expressed her excitement and gratitude for the new collection, writing, “I want to say so much and take you all through the long journey of this very small collection, but for now, I will simply dedicate this to someone whom this belongs to”. The carefully curated collection was greeted with enthusiasm by fashion lovers around the world and was a testament to Khan’s unique vision and creative talent.
With all the access, fame, and grandeur, the Bin Roye actress introduced her own brand which could have been discussed in positive light had the price tag on many of the articles not been hefty on the pocket of many.
Social media users have severely criticized Khan’s new fashion brand ‘M’ for being too costly in times of high inflation in the country. What irked many people is the fact that the items were way too simple; the plain white Mardana and embroidered Kurtas, Silk Tunic set, and co-ord sets.
While Twitterati suggested they absolutely love the Quaid-e-Azam Zindabad star, not many are willing to buy the pieces. Khan, though she went above and beyond with the collection and named it after her grandmother Razia, managed to vex many of her fans.
Despite Khan’s expensive yet bland and basic collection failing to excite her millions of fans, ironically, the Raees diva’s brand saw many articles already being sold out despite the backlash.
mbymahira better iron and wash and fold itself in this price.

Another user cried out, “i know there are alot of mahira khan fans out there, but this is deteriorating, she doesn’t care about the large labour force of pakistani women working in cotton fields & garment factories, those women aren’t paid – only make pennies and here’s her selling a white kurta for 13k.”
