Mahira Khan shares second pregnancy news

Mahira's pregnancy announcement did not come with a grand photoshoot or an elaborate setup. In the picture, she can be seen wearing a loose, full-sleeved white gown that falls around her baby bump. She placed one hand on her stomach while posing for the camera, keeping her styling and overall look simple.


The actress also shared a personal message along with the photograph. Mahira wrote “We make plans and then there is ALLAH’S plan,”.

The picture soon caught the attention of her fans and followers, who congratulated the actor on the new addition to her family. For Mahira, the announcement comes as she continues to make appearances on an international platform.

Her presence at TIFF 2026 has also brought attention to Pakistani and South Asian cinema. As part of the festival's Community Impact programming, she moderated a conversation and was recognised for her contribution to cinema.

Mahira's second child, first with Salim Karim

Mahira's pregnancy comes nearly three years after she married businessman Salim Karim. The couple tied the knot in October 2023 in an intimate wedding ceremony. Their upcoming baby will be their first child together.

However, this is not Mahira's first experience of motherhood. The actor is already a mother to her 17-year-old son, Azlan, whom she shares with her first husband, Ali Askari.

Azlan has remained an important part of Mahira's personal life. He was also present during his mother's wedding to Karim and had a special role in the ceremony, walking her down the aisle. With the arrival of her second child, Mahira is now entering another important phase of her personal life.
