As the year draws to an end, acclaimed Pakistani actresses Mahira Khan and Sanam Saeed have landed a spot on the Sexiest Asian Woman list by Britain’s weekly newspaper, Eastern Eye. The announcement came earlier today when the UK magazine’s poll revealed the results.
Mahira is number four on the list while last year she was number five. “I am grateful to be part of this list once again. My fans are my strength so thank you to them. I think personally, sexy is what sexy does and I hope to continue to work hard at what I do with as much as passion as I have been from the start,†Hindustan Times quoted her as saying.
Mahira has been the ambassador for Shaukat Khanum Memorial Hospital (SKMH) for seven years and has attended several international fundraisers so far. This year, Mahira walked the Cannes red carpet for the first time. She has also joined hands with United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and visited the Afghan refugee families at Al-Asif Square, Karachi.

She partnered with NOWPDP to celebrate individuals who are differently-abled and Interactive Research Development (IRD) to address mental health issues.
