Veteran Sahiba Afzal revealed that she would like Mahira Khan to portray her in a potential biographical film about her life. The revelation came during a recent appearance on the television talk show “Gup Shup,” hosted by Vasay Chaudhry.
During the light-hearted segment, Sahiba was asked to choose among three popular Pakistani actresses—Mahira Khan, Saba Qamar, and Mehwish Hayat—as the ideal candidate to play her on-screen. Without hesitation, she selected Mahira Khan, sparking discussions among fans about the casting choice.
The segment was filmed in a brightly lit studio featuring modern blue and purple neon-style lighting. A video clip shared online showed photos of the three actresses as the host presented the options, while a banner highlighted Sahiba’s choice of Mahira Khan for the role.
Sahiba Afzal, who rose to fame in the 1990s through numerous successful Lollywood films, remains one of the most recognisable figures in Pakistan’s entertainment industry. While the discussion was hypothetical, the clip quickly garnered attention online, with viewers debating which actress would best capture Sahiba’s persona on the big screen.
The moment reflects both Sahiba’s admiration for Mahira Khan’s work and the ongoing interest in bringing veteran Lollywood stars’ stories to life through cinema, offering fans a chance to see their favourite actors in new and creative narratives.
