I'm not competing with Mahira Khan, says Mawra Hocane

I'm not competing with Mahira Khan, says Mawra Hocane

The Sanam Teri Kasam actress is excited to make her Bolly debut in the same year as Mahira
29 Jan, 2016

Two Pakistani actresses make their debut in Bollywood this year – Mahira Khan with Raees on July 3 and Mawra Hocane with Sanam Teri Kasam on February 5. Before anyone compared the two, Mawra's gone and said that "there is no competition" between her and Mahira, reports Indian Express.

“When Mahira’s show Humsafar released, I was not even an actor," recalls the 23-year-old Mawra. "I look up to her. She is stunning and truly gorgeous in the real sense. There is no competition at all. She has been longer in the industry. It has been only two-and-half years for me.”

“I feel great that we will be debuting in Bollywood in the same year," she continued. "I am really proud of her. It will be wonderful because we both will be nominated as debutantes and that is something fantastic."


“I feel great that we will be debuting in Bollywood in the same year," Mawra says of Mahira. "I am really proud of her.


Mawra also shared why she signed on to the film Sanam Teri Kasam. However, her logic has us a little confused:

“[The directors] Radhika and Vinay had called me and they started the narration on Skype. The moment they said that it’s a story of a simple, bespectacled girl I knew I would be doing it. Because when you have a girl with spectacles, you will also have her transformation. I will get to show both the sides. I was on board instantly,” she said.

The young starlet can't stop gushing about the opportunity she's bagged: “No one my age has come to India and done a film. Nobody has been ‘launched’ in that sense. I am extremely grateful that I am a part of this film."

Mawra joined the industry in 2010 and she used to do a show called boom on atv. Her drama serial called kountry love and mere huzoor came out in 2011 so it's been about 4 to 5 years mawra not 2 and half years . Anyway good luck for your Bollywood debut.

Of course, Mawra is younger, better looking! She is not competing with Mahira cause there is no competition.

Marwa Hocane will definitely win film fare best debut female actress award for Sanam Teri Kasam because the movie is fully based on her and her acting is awesome, she is very brilliant, talented and devoted towards her filmy career. Mahira Khan is casted against SRK in Raees definitely audience will go to see Shahrukh Khan in cinema so Mahira will be secondary choice for the audience. I wish all the best and good luck to both the actress.

I don't know what's peoples' definition of talent nowadays. It now just how extrovert you're. The quality today doesn't really matter.

Of course there is no competition, Mahira khan was way ahead at the stage of career that Mawra is at right now. There is only one Mahira Khan.

I do not believe on this statement as in a professional world, there is always a competition and I do not see any issue in competition if it is a healthy one.

The Shah Rukh Khan legacy is done. Mahira is working in a film that Indians have wowed not to watch. Look what happned to dilwale. It flopped because on twitter campain not to watch any movie by these Indian anti nationals was successfull.. So you declare the winner.

Please reply one Question. Will there be another 'Tanhayian' or 'Dhoop Kinaray' or 'Humsafar'. Your talent and nice attitude makes you a star. Popularity will come through good work. Comparison will make you look diminutive. Mahira Khan has already touched the threshold once crossed by Nazia Hassan, Shehnaz Sheikh and Marina Khan. Mahira doesn't need recognition or competition. Try and understand the difference.

Mawra, yes money and fame is important, I am being realistic, but your image and dignity is as important, you should have started with a better film.
