Pakistan’s top film stars Mahira Khan and Humayun Saeed were honoured by the Pakistani Embassy in the UAE during their international promotional tour for the upcoming romantic comedy Love Guru. The ceremony, led by Ambassador Faisal Niaz Tirmizi, recognized the actors’ significant contributions to promoting Pakistani cinema globally. Both stars received commemorative shields as a symbol of appreciation for their role in showcasing the rich cultural heritage of Pakistan through film.
Ambassador Tirmizi praised Mahira and Humayun as true representatives of Pakistan’s creative spirit, emphasizing how their work helps shape a positive image of the country worldwide. The event came amid a successful global promotion campaign for Love Guru, which has seen the stars travel across the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, and now the UAE, engaging with fans and media alike.
The film recently made history by becoming the first Pakistani movie to have its trailer featured on New York City’s iconic Times Square billboards. This milestone attracted a large crowd of fans and members of the South Asian diaspora who gathered to watch the trailer launch in person. The exposure marked a significant achievement for Pakistani cinema, signaling its growing international presence ahead of the film’s Eidul Azha 2025 release.
In Love Guru, Humayun Saeed plays a charming man who pretends to be a relationship expert in an effort to win over the character played by Mahira Khan, an ambitious architect. The romantic comedy combines humor, heart, and cultural flavor, promising a fun and relatable story for audiences this Eid.
Beyond the film itself, the event and the promotions highlighted how Pakistan’s entertainment industry is emerging as a powerful form of cultural influence and soft power. As Mahira Khan and Humayun Saeed continue their worldwide tour, Love Guru stands as a symbol of Pakistan’s creative growth and expanding global reach.
