Mahira Khan candidly opened up about the decision that her son Azlan would walk her down the aisle on her wedding day. The actor tied the knot with Salim Karim.
Mahira Khan tied the knot with Salim Karim in a dreamy destination wedding in Pakistan last year in October. The actor posted a beautiful video from the day, where she was seen walking down the aisle, holding onto son Azlan. In a new interview with BBC Asian Network, Mahira became emotional as she looked back at that special day, and said that she is ‘very proud’ of her child.
What Mahira said
When asked about the decision to share such a big and intimate moment with fans, Mahira said: “It feels like every single thing that went wrong… Let me put it in a better way… for every time that I was good in some way, I was kind, or looked after people around me. It was as if god put it all together and blessed me and said, ‘Here this is for the good that you have done.’ It felt like that moment. I was constantly saying Alhamdulillah. It was a very big moment for me because I had always imagined my life to be me and Azlan…”
She added, “This was a very big moment. I was very proud of my child… I wanted him to walk me down the aisle, so he did!”
