Pakistan’s acclaimed celebrity makeup artist, Babar Zaheer, recently appeared on Fahad’s Den, where he candidly discussed the viral makeup controversy surrounding superstar Mahira Khan‘s look for her film Neelofar. This incident, which fueled widespread speculation about cosmetic procedures, became a major talking point in Pakistani showbiz circles, prompting Zaheer to finally set the record straight.
As the creative force behind many iconic looks for stars like Hania Aamir, Fawad Khan, and Mahira Khan herself, Babar Zaheer has solidified his position as one of Pakistan’s most sought-after makeup artists.
