The pregnancy marks Mahira's second journey into motherhood. The actor is already a mother to her son, Azlan, whom she shares with her former husband, Ali Askari.

Mahira married businessman Salim Karim in October 2023 in an intimate wedding ceremony. The baby she is expecting will be the couple's first child together.

The actor has generally kept her personal life away from the spotlight, making the pregnancy announcement particularly special for her fans.

Pregnancy Announcement Comes During TIFF 2026

Her baby bump was visible during her TIFF appearance, bringing additional attention to the actor as she marked the occasion. The festival appearance comes as Mahira continues to build an international profile alongside her work in Pakistani cinema and television.

She became particularly familiar to Indian audiences after starring opposite Shah Rukh Khan in 'Raees'. Mahira is also known for acclaimed Pakistani projects including 'Humsafar', 'Bin Roye', 'Superstar' and 'The Legend of Maula Jatt'.

A New Chapter For The 'Raees' Actor

Mahira's announcement marks a new chapter in her personal life, nearly three years after her marriage to Salim Karim. Her simple message about trusting Allah's plan captures the sentiment behind the announcement. As Mahira celebrates a significant moment in her career at an international film festival, she is also preparing to welcome another child into her family.
