In a 2021 interview with Fuchsia Magazine, Mahira Khan discussed her relationship with her former in-laws and how they helped her raise her son, Azlaan. She had said:
“I think that Azlaan’s father and their family and my family, we are on the same page, when it comes to Azlaan. I’m very close to them, even now, as I have grown up in their house. It takes work, it takes swallowing your pride at times, and it takes trying to understand the other person. And for your child’s sake, you do it. If you’re lucky that people from both sides are good and looking at the child’s well-being and true happiness, then you forget the bitterness.”
Mahira Khan revealed her relationship with Salim Karim during interviews in 2020, first on Rewind with Samina Peerzada and later on Instagram Live with fashion mogul, Hassan Sheheryar Yasin. As reported by the Pakistani outlet, Dawn, Mahira had said:
“There’s a line in Humsafar which I thought was beautiful, where Ashar says to Khirad, ‘Pata nahi tum mujhay kis naiki ke badlay mein mili ho’ (I don’t know which good deed of mine led to you) and I think the same about him. I must have done something good in my life that God has sent him my way.”
