After weeks of silence, the Raees star has broken her silence and given her stance on the matter. The two were spotted taking a smoke break outside a hotel in New York, which led to fans speculating.
Mahira and Ranbir share more than a casual friendship, claims Indian publication
Speaking to the Express News at the trailer launch of her upcoming film, Mahira asserted, “I am a very careful person otherwise. People ask me why I do not do this in films and it's simply because I do not want to. Why should I do anything to show the world?” she said.
About meeting Ranbir she said, “It is my personal life and it is very normal for a boy and girl to hang out.” However, she said she has learned from the incident. “Nowadays, the media is not only present at events but everywhere. So, I have learnt from it (the incident),” she said.
Soon after the pictures surfaced, Mahira's fans came to her support and called the trolls out for not judging Ranbir the same way as they were judging the Bol actor.
Very unfair the way Mahira is being judged: Ranbir Kapoor
Previously, in a statement published by NDTV, Ranbir said, “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,” said the Tamasha actor.
Mahira made her Bollywood debut in 2017 with Shah Rukh Khan’s Raees.
