ISLAMABAD (PEN) : Model-turned-actor Sunita Marshall has addressed ongoing comparisons between herself and Pakistani film icon Mahira Khan, acknowledging that such remarks are frequent and often stem from their similar features.
“We Look Like Long-Lost Sisters,” Says Marshall
In a recent television appearance alongside fellow actor Ushna Shah, Marshall shared her perspective on the comparisons. The conversation took place during a talk show aired on a private entertainment channel.
When Shah remarked, “I have never seen this resemblance before – or maybe I have never noticed that – but [you look like Mahira],” Marshall responded with agreement:
“Yes, I get that a lot… [we resemble] especially in pictures.”
Offering a possible explanation, she added, “Maybe because we have a similar facial cut and big lips.”
Marshall went on to note, “Whenever Mahira and I meet, it’s like we’re some long-lost sisters.”
Shah concluded the conversation with a compliment: “You are both beautiful women.”
