Mahira Khan opens up about her first meeting with Shah Rukh Khan after signing Raees

Earlier today it was revealed that Mahira Khan has finally joined the cast of Raees to promote the film in Dubai. Dressed in white she was looking like a million bucks. And now finally in an interview to Masala magazine she has openend up on her first meeting with Shah Rukh Khan and how she felt when she saw the trailer of Raees for the first time. When she was asked about working with one of the world’s biggest superstars, Shah Rukh Khan, Mahira revealed, “‘AssalamAlaikum’ was his first word when he came to see me after I signed the film.” “I remember my photo-shoot was going on. Like a thorough gentleman, he asked me about how I and my family was. It was very brief and he said, ‘We are looking forward to working with you’. And I reassured him that it would be good.” The fact she even remembers the exact date – “2 December, two years ago”, says a lot about how much she cherishes that moment and working with Shah Rukh Khan.
She also revealed that when for the first time she watched the trailer of the film, “I had lost my sleep,” she says. “I wanted to be up all night but by six or seven in the morning, I started to doze off. By 12noon, I heard a commotion in my house so I stepped out and asked my brother ‘Has any one seen it? How is it? He gave me a strange look and said, ‘You watch it’ and replayed it for me. It was just A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. I cannot describe that in words; all I wanted to do was cry but I was smiling,” she concluded. 
So for the first time just days before the release of Shah Rukh Khan’s Raees, we have found a voice to the beautiful face we saw in the trailer and in the song ‘Zaalima’.
