ISLAMABAD: Pakistani actress Mahira Khan has finally responded to the rumours surrounding her appearance after fans speculated she had undergone cosmetic procedures following her recent appearance at the Neelofar promotional event in Lahore.
The actress, who has an Instagram following of 11.7 million, became the subject of online discussions after her facial features appeared different at the event. Fans speculated that she had used lip fillers, had an eyebrow lift, or even undergone Botox treatments, pointing to her plumper cheeks and more defined facial structure.
The rumours quickly gained traction, with some comparing her look to celebrities known for similar treatments. Humorous and critical comments flooded social media, with one user joking, “Mahira Khan & Ken are looking like horrible twins,” while others remarked on her “unnatural” eyebrow lift.
Mahira Khan addressed the rumours directly, sharing a lighthearted response on Instagram. She humorously acknowledged the eyebrow lift claims, even demonstrating her own eyebrow-lifting skills in a video.
In a follow-up tweet, Mahira clarified that her appearance was due to a failed makeup technique. She explained, “My makeup artist did some hair-lift things to give a ‘snatched look’ — in two parts. And it wasn’t done right. Anyhow… lesson learnt. Moving on. Lots of love.”
Mahira also graciously responded to a critic who had apologized for their comment, saying, “Noo don’t be silly ♥️.”
On the film front, Mahira Khan continues to be one of Pakistan’s most beloved actresses, known for her roles in Humsafar, Shehr-e-Zaat, and Superstar. Her upcoming film Neelofar, featuring Fawad Khan, is highly anticipated by fans.
