“I remember seeing this TIME magazine cover, and it had the gorgeous Parveen Babi on it. I don’t know if you have seen any of her films, but it’s because of that cover that I actually watched her films and some of her songs, which I just loved. She was so beautiful, such a style goddess,” Mahira Khan said.

Mahira Khan on her tumoultous relationship
The Pakistani star's journey took her across the ocean to Los Angeles at just 17 years old, a move ignited by love. Khan candidly revealed in the FWhy Podcast, "We were always supposed to go to LA since my uncles were already there. But at 17, I insisted that I go early since I was in love and he was there. But, after going there, mujhe meri naani yaad aa gayi (things got difficult for me)."
Mahira recalled that despite flying to Los Angeles for love, she and Ali Askari, her then-partner, faced a breakup. However, love rekindled, leading them to mend their relationship. While pursuing her studies in LA, she veered from her academic path midway to embrace marriage with Ali in 2007. Their traditional wedding ceremony was followed by her return to Pakistan.
In 2009, the couple welcomed their son, Azlaan, into the world. Yet, by 2015, the couple's love story concluded in a divorce. Mahira openly expressed the challenges of that period, acknowledging, "Post Azu, I knew my marriage was…even prior, I think. But I think you let it go on, and you love the person, who is your childhood sweetheart. But I think that was a very painful and difficult time. I was so young at the time. I had a baby, I was scared."
