Mahira Khan shares the real reason behind ‘snatched look’

Mahira reportedly also responded directly to an X user who criticised her recent appearance and shared that her changed look was due to a failed makeup technique. In a response to a critical comment, she wrote: “Thank you for the love, but why would I do a facelift right now (not that I’m judging anyone who would or has). My makeup artist did some hair-lift things to give a ‘snatched look’ — in two parts. And it wasn’t done right. Anyhow… lesson learnt. Moving on. Lots of love.”
