We are talking about none other than the actress Mahira Khan, who became a household name. She is one of the country’s most influential and highest paid actresses, who made her on-screen debut opposite Atif Aslam in a hit Pakistani film, Bol.
Former VJ Mahira got married to Ali Askari whom she reportedly met in Los Angeles in 2006. There is not much information about her marriage and her ex-husband, but apparently, the couple tied the nuptial knot according to Islamic traditions in 2007 against Mahira’s father’s wishes.
Mahira and Ali have a child whom they fondly named, Azlaan and after the couple got divorced in 2015, the custody of Azlaan is with Mahira only. Earlier in an interview, Mahira talked about Azlaan and said:
"I do only one film at a time. My first priority is my child. So it's a lot of hard work. But it can be done. It's all about choices. Many times I have to let go of good work. Fortunately the work I've done has worked for me."
