Mahira Khan features on 'BBC 100 Most Inspiring Women' list

Milestone achieved

The BBC has announced its list of 100 inspiring and influential women from across the world for 2020, and Mahira Khan is a part of it. "In a year of incredible change, it is only fitting that we acknowledge the female leaders who have helped us weather the storm," the publication stated while releasing the names. As for the reason why Mahira Khan has been chosen, BBC said in a statement that she is 'outspoken' about several issues. The publication also added that Mahira Khan has been "raising awareness about the plight of Afghan refugees in Pakistan" by being the national Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. "She’s been a firm favourite with audiences ever since starting out as an MTV video jockey (VJ) in 2006. Khan is also a devoted mother to her 11-year-old son," the statement concluded. Apart from being hugely popular in Pakistan, Mahira Khan has also featured alongside Shah Rukh Khan in the Bollywood film Raees.
