Shah Rukh Khan's Raees costar Mahira Khan reveals she 'cried daily' after pictures with Ranbir Kapoor leaked: 'I wouldn’t get out of the...'

Pakistani actress Mahira Khan, who also featured in Shah Rukh Khan starrer Raees, faced several highs and lows in her personal and professional life.

The diva recently opened up about the struggles she’s faced as a divorced single mother and the time when Pakistani artists were banned from working in India. Mahira also shared about the emotionally tough phase when her pic of smoking with Ranbir Kapoor went viral online.

“It’s been a crazy ride. My audience has travelled this journey with me. The divorce, having a baby and my baby being along in this journey with me, being single for so long, those photos coming out, a ban somewhere else in another country… it has just been insane. Those were tough times and amazing times but there also have been moments that have been tougher but I have chosen not to share them," said Mahira while talking to BBC Asian Network.

Recalling the moment, when pic with Ranbir went viral on social media, Mahira shared, “When the photos came out there was an article called ‘The Little White Dress’ that was published in BBC and I failed to see the brilliance of that article at that time. In fact, I think I may have. I remember reading it and thinking, ‘Is my career over?’ In that article, it was written that ‘here is a woman who has achieved this kind of success that no one in Pakistan has achieved, all the endorsements and all that, and now it is all gone. What is going to happen to her?’ I read it and I was like ‘Damn.’ But I told myself, ‘Are you mad? This is going to end,’ maybe it was the 14-year-old Mahira that told me. But I won’t lie that that time was very tough. I wouldn’t get out of the bed, I was crying daily, it affected my professional and personal life. Lots happened on my personal side."
