Pakistani film industry veteran Meera has always been very vocal when it comes to Mahira Khan. This time, the Kasak star has openly disapproved of the limelight Mahira has come to receive, in a video that went viral recently.

"There are many gorgeous actors and actresses in Pakistan, who have done exceptional work, and definitely better than Mahira," said Meera. "There are better actors so please stop promoting Mahira. It is unfair to other stars in the film industry."

No one can just become ‘Meera’, it takes years of struggle: Meera

Ironically, both Mahira and Meera were spotted in Dubai for 10th annual Masala! Awards just two days ago. And of course, there were a lot of pictures.

One of the most stunning pictures we came across was one with Bollywood's ace designer Manish Malhotra and actor Sridevi, posing with Pakistani beauties Mahira, Saba Qamar and Mawra Hocane.

But then, something else caught our eye! Can you spot a red gown to Mahira's left? Yep. That's right. That's our very own Miss Meera Jee, who was apparently snubbed from the picture.

Fortunately, we found another one with the Nazar actor included. Perhaps this can be the reason why Meera is miffed at the Raees starlet?

Of course, this wasn't the first time Meera has criticised Mahira. Previously, she once tweeted asking fans and followers to stop wasting their time watching the Ho Mann Jahan star's films and commercials.



The tweet could use some grammatical tweaking but the message was loud and clear. “Mahira Khan replaced me in a major project by Momina Duraid —  she literally took that project away from me,” claimed Meera in a previous interview with The Express Tribune.

Although she did not disclose the name of said project, Meera justified her statements further by accusing Mahira of campaigning against her. “Even I have met many Bollywood celebrities, including Shah Rukh and Gauri Khan and Karan Johar. In fact, SRK even offered me a film,” said Meera.

People said I sold myself to Bollywood, now everyone is doing Indian films: Meera

“But because of Mahira’s campaign against me, I lost all my projects in the Indian industry and she got one.”

The controversial actor believes that she proved her ‘brilliant’ acting skills in the film Hotal, because of which fans are looking forward to her work. “If we create groups within the industry, the situation will get worse. So, I humbly request Mahira to come forward on the basis of her talent only and stop sidelining me.”
