Moreover, in the same interview, Mahira also talked about the heavenly pictures that she took after saying ‘Qubool hai’ to Salim Karim. The actress said that she had no clue that wedding photographers take pictures of the bride and the groom before the nikah takes place. Mahira mentioned that she was adamant that Salim would look at her only when the two had signed their nikah papers. She said:
“I didn't know this but wedding photographers wo aapki tasveerein lete hai before the nikah. That I was like no, I said that I cannot shoot with Salim before we sign the nikah papers. He should see me afterwards right so that's what I wanted. Then finally when I got there, I entered, I was separate in another corner, and he was in another corner, also in a sehra and I had my veil, and we signed the nikah papers, and that's when I walked towards him and he saw me for the first time, and that's what I wanted as.”
Further in the interaction, the Pakistani actress also shared that despite all the hurdles, she had enjoyed her wedding to the fullest. Mahira said that generally, girls don’t have the privilege of enjoying their wedding, but she had thoroughly enjoyed it even though she was handling everything. In her words:
“I really enjoyed my wedding, I have to say, and I don't think that girls get to. I mean, I've been there before, when I was young, and you know, I was just so worried, even here. I was handling everything, but I was more at ease.”
