Pakistani star actor Mahira Khan has shared thoughts on getting her nose pierced with her fans in a fun video on Instagram, something she has never done.
Women across the globe do nose piercing as a form of fashion but it is also linked to traditional female ornamenting in South Asia.
Despite being a common practice in Pakistan, Mahira has never given nose piercing a try, not even after appearing in several desi roles in a number of projects for small and big screens, including Bollywood.
Taking to the picture and video sharing site, the Superstar actor posted a selfie video with a nose ring on and Instagram music playing.
In the caption, Mahira shared that she wants to get her nose pierced but also told her fans what a conversation with her mother on this topic would look like.
“Me - Ama should I get my nose pierced?
Ama - If you had a smaller nose I’d say yes!” she wrote in the caption.
The video garnered nearly 90k likes and hundreds of comments from Mahira’s fans and followers adoring her beauty. Some of the comments were from Pakistani celebrities including Sanam Jung, Mawra Hocane, Musaddiq Malik, renowned stylist Tariq Amin and Mahira’s makeup artist Babar Zaheer.
Sanam told a similar story about having this conversation with her father, which ended up in the Dil-e-Muztar star never having her nose pierced. Meanwhile, Mawra said she had the “same” issues as Mahira.
The Humsafar actor is a versatile artist who is known for her beauty, style and acting skills. Besides achieving various feats and honours, she recently won the "Artist in Fashion" award at The Emi Gala ceremony.
