Mahira Khan on Cannes 2018 Debut: I Hope I do not Trip and Fall on the red Carpet

After Deepika Padukone, Kangana Ranaut and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Pakistani actress Mahira Khan is all set to walk the red carpet at Cannes 2018. This is the first time Mahira will be attending the Cannes Film Festival and expressing her nervousness about the same, the actress was quoted as saying, "I am excited but also very nervous. Everyone keeps telling me, this must be so exciting and I keep telling them that I feel like I am a player for a Pakistani team but I am playing alone."

Not revealing any details about the outfits she will be wearing on the red carpet, Mahira said, “I have no idea what I’m going to be wearing and it is all just getting decided as of now. The only thing I’m very worried about is that the Cannes red carpet is one of the longest red carpets in the world and I hope I do not trip and fall."

Mahira, who made her Bollywood debut opposite Shah Rukh Khan in Raees, was recently in the news for commenting on the controversy Ali Zafar embroiled himself in. Furious at how social media reacted to the news, she said, “The sick mentality of those commenting on an issue as serious as sexual harassment as casually as they are just shows where the root of this problem exists - in our minds. We will continue to breed harassers for as long as we continue to desensitise this issue.”
