The star shared her thoughts during an appearance on a private TV channel, where she discussed her career, her upcoming romantic film Neelofar, and her experiences working in India. Her candid remarks offered insight into her personal beliefs, patriotism, and professional relationships.

Speaking Up During Pakistan–India Tensions
On voicing support for Pakistan during the short war in May 2025, Mahira said it was both her duty and passion. She acknowledged that her statements may have disappointed some Indian fans but maintained that she would never compromise her love for her country.
