As per a report by Indian Express, during an interaction with Anupama Chopra on her podcast, the Pakistani star shared her thoughts on the superficial beauty portrayed on social media. The actress said that she was amused to see how far people have gone to propagate the idea of perfect beauty. She said:
“I look at Instagram or social media, and I keep thinking, it’s crazy. How far down we’ve gone into this sort of idea of what beauty is, and how perfect one has to be. I don’t think it’s cool and I don’t think that that’s something we should propagate at all.”
During the same interaction, Mahira mentioned that she had come from a place where there used to be no filters, and everything depended on the angles of the cameras. That’s why people used to tell her that her nose looked fat, and it severely impacted her earlier. But she was glad that she never opted to undergo a knife, and chose to hone her skills. She said:
“I have come from a place when there were no filters, there was just the basic thing of angles. People used to tell me, ‘Iss angle mein na naak badi lagti hai’, I would be like, what? It used to affect me. There was a time when it was put into my head that you should be shot from a particular angle and there should be no low angles. Glad that I didn’t do it. As an actor, it’s a fail on my part if people will look at me and say, ‘yaar iski naak moti lag rahi hai’. After a while, they should forget about my nose, my cheeks, my hair.”
