KARACHI – Pakistani actress Mahira Khan has finally responded to all the bashing that was targeted at her after her pictures of smoking with Bollywood actor Ranbir Kapoor went viral a few weeks ago.
During the trailer launch of her upcoming film Verna, Mahira was asked about her reactions to the entire episode. “It is my personal life and it is very normal for a boy and girl to hang out. Nowadays, (the) media is not only present at events but everywhere. So, I have learnt from it (the incident).”
“I am a very careful person otherwise. People ask me that I do not do this in films, I say I do not want to. Why should I do anything to show the world?” she added.

Earlier, Ranbir had given a statement in Mahira’s defense saying, “I’ve gotten to know Mahira in a personal capacity over the last few months. She is somebody who I admire and respect, for her achievements and even more for the person she is. It is very unfair the way she is being judged and spoken about. What is also sad is the inequality in judgment just because she is a woman. I request you to stop the negativity and move on with your beautiful God-gifted lives. Peace and love. PS: Both smoking and hate are injurious to health.”
