Mahira bumps into Onijah

If you thought the promotions for Nadeem Baig's Love Guru were running out of surprises, think again. While riding high during the film's promotions in the US, star Mahira Khan crossed paths with internet sensation Onijah Robinson. That's right. Mahira met up with the American woman who went viral for flying to Pakistan in search of the man she loved.

Both women took to Instagram to gush over the interaction. Posting on Stories, Mahira shared a video clip in which she asked her viewers, "I'm in New York, and guess who I have with me?" She turned the camera to reveal Onijah, who greeted the screen with her viral phrase, "Hello, Shabana!" The actor quickly joined in on the antics, indulging the influencer's phrases with enthusiastic nods and a captivating smile.

Meanwhile, Onijah posted a photo of the two on her handle, attending the premiere in a white-and-pink outfit while Mahira wore an elegant, fitted dress. "Showed up to the Love Guru premiere," she wrote. "They thought Mahira was the star. Plot twist: I'm the sequel."

The influencer might not be exaggerating as she did indeed run into fans of her own at the event, if the post of her taking photos with a crowd of attendees is any indication. Grateful for the love, she wrote, "It's one thing to post online, but feeling the love in person? That's the part that lives in my heart."

Mindful of all her fans, she added, "Every hug, every word, every smile - I see you, I feel you, and I carry that energy with me. Forever thankful for the real ones who show up and show love."

Mahira isn't lacking in love either, given her glamorous return to the world of cinema opposite Humayun Saeed. In the following Story, she shared a clip of her film's official trailer setting the billboards alight at New York City's Times Square.

The romance film's trailer dropped earlier this month, featuring Humayun as a love expert and Mahira as his alluring case study along with flaunting a star-studded cast which includes Javed Sheikh, Marina Khan, and Mira Sethi.

With a screenplay penned by Vasay Chaudhry, a key appeal of the film is the reunion of the Bin Roye stars in what appears to be another tale packed with obstacles that challenge the leads' affection for each other.

We'll find out in June whether or not Humayun and Mahira's characters will overcome the odds separating them, as the film is slated to hit theatres this Eidul Azha.
