Pakistani actor Mahira Khan has confirmed ther pregnancy sharing the news with her millions of fans in an emotional social media announcement.
The Humsafar star posted a photograph showing her baby bump on Instagram, accompanied by a brief but deeply personal message about faith, life and accepting Allah’s plan.
“We make plans. … and then there is Allah’s plan,” Mahira wrote.
The announcement quickly drew an outpouring of congratulatory messages from fans, friends and fellow celebrities, who celebrated the news and wished the actor and her husband, businessman Salim Karim, well.
The pregnancy marks another major milestone in Mahira’s personal life, three years after she married Karim in an intimate ceremony surrounded by family and close friends.
Mahira and Karim tied the knot in Bhurban on Oct. 1, 2023. Their relationship has largely remained away from the intense public spotlight, although the couple has occasionally shared glimpses of their life together with fans.
The child will be the first for Mahira and Karim together. Mahira is already a mother to her son, Azlan, from her previous marriage to Ali Askari.
Mahira married Askari in 2007 and the couple later welcomed Azlan. Their marriage ended in divorce, which was finalised in 2016.
The actor subsequently found love with Karim, a businessman and entrepreneur, and the couple’s wedding became one of the most closely followed celebrity events in Pakistan that year.
Mahira’s pregnancy announcement adds a new chapter to a career and personal journey that has kept her among Pakistan’s most recognisable entertainment figures.
She rose to national prominence through television dramas before establishing herself as a leading film actor. Her performance in the television drama Humsafar helped turn her into a household name, while subsequent projects strengthened her position as one of Pakistan’s most prominent stars.
Her popularity also extends beyond Pakistan. Mahira made her Bollywood debut opposite Shah Rukh Khan in the 2017 film Raees, giving her an even wider audience across South Asia.
The actor has also become known for maintaining a relatively measured public profile despite her celebrity status, making Sunday’s announcement particularly significant for her followers.
Rather than a lengthy statement, Mahira chose a short reflection on faith and destiny to accompany the pregnancy photograph.
Her message resonated strongly with fans, who filled the post with prayers, congratulations and messages of affection for the growing family.
For Mahira and Karim, the announcement begins an important new chapter as they prepare to welcome their first child together.
The actor’s fans will now be watching closely for further updates from the couple, while Mahira’s message makes clear that, for this moment, she is choosing to celebrate the journey through faith, gratitude and family.
