Mahira Khan Teases Short-Hair Look Ahead of ‘Neelofar’ Release

ISLAMABAD: Pakistani actress Mahira Khan sparked excitement on social media with a playful Instagram carousel, showing herself in a sleek bob while sharing a behind-the-scenes story about her character, Neelofar.

In the post, Mahira revealed that she tried to convince director Ammar Rasool to let her sport the short-haired look for the role. She even arrived on set wearing a short-hair wig, pretending she had cut her hair, causing a brief panic among the crew before they realized it was a joke. Although her idea was ultimately “shut down,” the photos hint that she still appreciates the style.

The carousel features Mahira in a cosy cream sweater, natural lighting inside a car, and a final frame referencing the French film Amélie, reflecting the quirky, introspective tone she envisioned for Neelofar. Fellow star Yumna Zaidi praised the look, while influencer Ken Doll noted the buzz Mahira’s hairstyle created on social media.
