Mahira’s Instagram story also features an interview clip of the Pakistani star in which she is seen talking about how she got inspired by Parveen Babi.
“So I remember seeing this Time magazine cover and it had the gorgeous Parveen Babi on it. It’s because of that cover that I actually watched her films. Some of her songs I just love. She was so beautiful, such a style icon,” she said.
In another video, she is seen in a silver kurta outfit, standing in front of a giant screen with Parveen Babi’s songs playing on it.
She said: “This was a tough shoot, my first since my foot injury (three fractures in my right foot to be precise). I couldn’t move much and I was hating it. The team was sooo loving and caring… love you guys @lovefuryal @museluxe.”
In the shared videos, Mahira was also seen crooning a few lines of Parveen Babi’s song from the film Namak Halal – ‘Jawani Janeman Haseen Dilruba’.
