Meet actor who made a memorable Bollywood debut, dragged into controversy for supporting THIS Saif Ali Khan-Katrina Kaif movie but is now away from showbiz

As an ardent admirer of the captivating charm and talent that is Mawra Hocane, I find myself utterly enamored by her journey through the world of entertainment. From her humble beginnings on Urdu television to her brief yet memorable stint in Bollywood with Sanam Teri Kasam, Mawra has etched an indelible mark in the hearts of fans across borders.


In the unpredictable realm of show business, every performer dreams of leaving an indelible mark through their acting. Achieving such memorable roles often involves a lengthy and challenging path. Yet, sometimes, luck plays a significant role, leading some actors to become instant sensations, or one-time sensations.

One actress we’re discussing is none other than Mawra Hocane from Pakistan, who gained fame through her roles on Urdu television and made her acting debut with the show Khichari Salsa. In 2016, she entered Bollywood in Sanam Teri Kasam, directed by Radhika Rao and Vinay Sapru, where she shared the screen with Harshvardhan Rane.

Despite not achieving box office success when initially released, the movie’s poignant music and emotionally resonant plot have developed a dedicated fanbase over time, evidenced by their persistent inquiries about a potential sequel from the lead actors.

After the Indian government’s ban on Pakistani artists in 2016, she was less visible in Bollywood. With the recent lifting of this ban, we eagerly anticipate a strong return of hers to the industry.

Additionally, Mawra is recognized for her roles in several Pakistani productions such as “Ek Tamanna Lahasil Si”, “Aahista Aahista”, “Sammi” and “Sabaat (2020)”, among others.

2015 saw Mawra stirring up a debate when she publicly endorsed the movie “Phantom,” starring Saif Ali Khan and Katrina Kaif. Her tweet about the film read, “Phantom fights against terrorism. A terrorist has no nationality. A terrorist is simply a terrorist.” Later, she continued with three additional tweets, one of which declared that if Phantom was “anti-terrorism, then yes I am too, regardless of the country I hail from. I stand for humanity, love, and that’s it.”

However, her tweets didn’t go well with Pakistani actor Shahid Shaan who demanded an immediate ban on the actress for promoting an “anti-Pakistani film”. Mawra later penned a long open letter in her defence addressing all her fans and followers.

Regarding her career, Mawra remains active in the Pakistani entertainment sector. Her most recent project, “Jaffa,” has been garnering tremendous affection from viewers. In this series, she portrays a doctor. Furthermore, she maintains a significant social media presence, boasting over 1 million followers.
