On the occasion, the Raees actor gave a short speech and dedicated the award to her son, Azlan.

“Thank you, I'm going to keep it short. I always ask my son, ‘What do you think I should say, should I thank you?’ He always says, 'Please, don't thank me.' So I hope someone's recording this. This one's for you Azlan.”

Later in a session titled ‘Mahira Khan in conversation with Noreen Khan’, The Bol actor spoke about achieving two of her childhood dreams.

“When I was growing up I had only two dreams. One was to get married. I was ten years old and I was like Shadi Karni hai (I want to get married). I used to see my cousins getting married and I thought this is so much fun. Secondly, I always wish to work with Bollywood king Shahrukh Khan which I have fulfilled it recently,” Mahira stated.

Marhira Khan's Verna will be screened at the festival tomorrow.

Asian Film festival brings together the diverse voices of women in South Asia and celebrates the centenary of women in the UK gaining the right to vote.
