A dialogue from the Pakistani film Love Guru, featuring Mahira Khan, has ignited a social media storm in India. The controversy centers on a line referring to Bollywood star Ranbir Kapoor, bringing back memories of an old scandal involving the two celebrities.—
The Viral Dialogue:
In a scene from Love Guru, Mahira Khan shares the frame with co-star Ramsha Khan and says:
> “Oh, that means he hasn’t met the girl yet who can bring out the Ranbir Kapoor in him.”
This seemingly casual line has gone viral, sparking outrage among some Indian users who immediately recalled Mahira’s past connection with Ranbir Kapoor.—
Why Indians Are Upset:
Many Indian fans took to Reddit and X (formerly Twitter) to express their anger. A user commented, “It felt wrong to watch this, considering Ranbir is a changed man now.” Others found the dialogue suggestive and felt it indirectly referenced Mahira’s personal experience with Ranbir.
Another Reddit user wrote, “Why is she even talking about the ‘Ranbir inside someone’? Was she smoking with that Ranbir in New York too?”—
Throwback: The Smoking Scandal
Back in 2017, a photo of Mahira Khan and Ranbir Kapoor smoking together in New York went viral. The image fueled rumors of a romantic relationship between the two stars. The incident sparked debates in both India and Pakistan, especially because of Mahira’s appearance in a short white dress and the act of smoking.
That same year, they were also seen posing together at an event in Dubai, adding more fuel to the fire.—
Mahira’s Confession in 2024:
In a 2024 interview with BBC Asian Network, Mahira Khan opened up about the scandal. She said:
> “When the picture went viral, BBC published an article titled The Little White Dress, and I remember thinking — is my career over?”
She admitted the episode shook her deeply. “I couldn’t get out of bed for days. I cried constantly. That one photo affected my personal and professional life severely,” she added.—
Conclusion:
With just one line in Love Guru, Mahira Khan unintentionally reignited discussions about a chapter she likely hoped was behind her. While some consider it harmless humor, others see it as a reminder of a time that left emotional scars on both celebrities.
