Does crossing the border always have to cause a controversy?
It's no secret that local TV darling Mawra Hocane feels right at home in India. She's been in and out of Mumbai in the last few months and happily catalogs her travels on social media.
Recently, a picture from a photo shoot appeared online that saw her depart from her usual girl-next-door look. The photo, which features Mawra in a racy red choli, only served to pique interest in Mawra's Bollywood adventures, spurring both positive and negative criticism.
So just what has this young star been up to?
In a candid chat with Dawn.com, Mawra talks about her new look, her move to Bollywood, the people she met in B-Town and above all, that video message from Ranbir Kapoor. Read on:
Your new look shocked and surprised many... do you really want to get rid of your bubbly image in Pakistani dramas?
Mawra Hocane (MH): First of all, let me clarify a couple of things. Now that I have entered Bollywood, I have to explore new horizons as an actor. Our people always take time to adjust whenever something new is done and that’s exactly what happened with my shoot. I'm absolutely fine with the general public reaction, however, I'm very thankful to my fans for such a huge positive response.
I don't feel I've done anything different to what's happening in all the Pakistani films too. It's just that the platform is comparatively huge so the response is massive too. As for the bubbly image, I don’t intend to get rid of it for a few years. The real-life bubbliness is never going away; at least not till I'm in my early 20s.
