Mahira Khan starred in one of the two highest grossing films in the year 2019. While Parey Hut Love had scores of actors to its credit, Superstar’s driving force was Mahira Khan and Nadeem Baig, followed closely by Bilal Ashraf.
She is slated to appear in a number of films next year – if things go as planned – but in between Mahira Khan, who recently celebrated her 35th birthday, does take out time to participate in humanitarian causes.
Among them is the prolific UNHCR’s campaign for solidarity with refugees which is joined by stars like Cate Blanchett, Ben Stiller and Mahira Khan who features in a powerful video.
Noted UNHCR on its website: “The campaign kicks off with a powerful multi-voice video in which refugees are joined by celebrities and advocates to rally support around the core message of the Global Refugee Forum – that everyone has a role to play in helping refugees. The video features UNHCR Goodwill Ambassadors and celebrity supporters including Ben Stiller, Nomzamo Mbatha, Adut Akech, Cate Blanchett, MIYAVI, Jung Woo-sung, Barbara Hendricks, Yusra Mardini, Neil Gaiman, Praya Lundberg, David Morrissey, Mercy Masika, Alfonso Herrera, Mahira Khan, Nitin Sawhney, Maya Ghazal, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Danny Ocean, Riz Ahmed, Raghad Haddad, Amanda Palmer, Benedict Cumberbatch, JJ Bola, Emi Mahmoud, Jesus Vasquez and others.”
According to UNHCR, the video’s purpose is: “Xenophobia, negative stereotyping and fear are on the rise. All around us. Getting louder and louder and louder. Something needs to change. It is time to see refugees differently, to see that refugees, like everyone – when given the chance and the opportunity – can reach their potential, have a positive impact and give back.”
