Industry darling, Mahira Khan recently poured her heart out in a touching message on social media dedicated to her childhood self on the occasion of her 39th birthday. The actress expressed, "My beloved inner child, you are a brave little girl. Your courage, your dreams, your smiles and tears, your hard work is the reason I am here. I’m sorry I didn’t take care of you sooner. I see you. I see your imagination. I see your strength. I see your frustration. I see the little things you do to make everything ok and everyone happy. Most of all, I see your faith in you and the universe. You are the part of me that believes in love. Believes in dreams. In finding joy in little things. In goodness. In human beings.

I’m grateful for you all the time. I’ll do my best to take care of you. I will be there to wipe your tears no matter whichever roof you find to hide and cry… and I will always root for you when you want to let your hair down and twirl in joy. You were and will always be enough. Now go wrap Nani’s sari around you and dance dance dance in front of the mirror. And don’t forget to thank yourself in your acceptance speech! It’s our birthday goddammit! I love you."
