The always lovely Mahira Khan graced the event Jashn-e-Rekhta Urdu Literary Festival at Zabeel Park in Dubai, turning heads and stealing the spotlight with her vibrant presence.
Embracing the upcoming spring season in all its glory, the Raees star arrived at Zabeel Park looking like a literal ray of sunshine in a stunning yellow and pink saree from the latest collection of Indian designer Masaba Gupta’s fashion line, House of Masaba.
The two-toned gota-adorned drape beautifully complemented the pink and yellow floral blouse, creating a perfect ensemble.
Mahira maintained her signature grace with a sleek bun and a pop of pink on her lips. Her choice of jewelry included heirloom earrings previously worn at a dholki last year, paired with classic green glass bangles featuring intricate kundun karay.
Expressing her joy at attending Jashn-e-Rekhta for the first time, Mahira Khan spoke at the event, emphasizing the significance of platforms that bring artists together from around the world to share stories, appreciate language, and celebrate their collective passion for artistic expression. In an Instagram video, she shared her sentiments, saying,
I’m extremely happy that I’m attending Jashn-e-Rekhta for the first time. I hope I come here repeatedly and receive such a platform repeatedly, where the community of artists from around the world, who love this language and appreciate it, sit together, converse, and talk about stories, and there’s shair-o-shayari, and jokes. We should sit together and rejoice.
Jashn-e-Rekhta, a two-day celebration of Urdu literature, poetry, and cross-cultural engagement, captivated audiences from January 27 to 29.
