On account of World Refugee Day, Pakistan’s superstar Mahira Khan stepped forward and evoked empathy, solicitude, and compassion for refugees all around the world. She especially visited the Afghan refugee camp and also took some pictures with them.
The starlet joined hands with UNHCR (United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees) with the mission to raise awareness about Afghan refugees in Pakistan. She urged people to see refugees as victims of war and terrorism.
She was of the opinion that Afghan refugees have suffered enough pain and they did not deliberately leave their homeland. She also gave the example of the great migration of Mecca and how the Ansar helped the refugees (Muhajireen).
