Celebrity stylist Babar Zaheer opens up about creating Mahira Khan’s transformative aesthetic as Bilqees Bano in Green Entertainment’s hit drama.
Celebrity makeup artist Babar Zaheer recently made a special appearance on Rise & Shine, hosted by Nadia Khan, where he unveiled the creative process behind Mahira Khan‘s dramatic transformation in the Green Entertainment period drama Mitti De Baway. Captivating viewers with her portrayal of Bilqees Bano (Billo), the superstar transitions from a young married woman into a powerful spiritual leader known as Bari Sarkar.
A titan of the Pakistani entertainment industry, Mahira Khan continues to redefine her acting repertoire with bold narrative choices and intense characters. Having built a glowing career with unforgettable roles across television and cinema, her collaboration with long-time personal stylist Babar Zaheer remains one of her most successful creative partnerships.
Elaborating on the aesthetic evolution, Zaheer shared that Billo’s initial pre-wedding look featured a clean, youthful face highlighted solely by brown kajal. As her character matures into a commanding figure, the styling team stripped away traditional makeup, relying exclusively on dark kajal and mascara to project raw intensity and personal authority. He also revealed that Khan’s mature scenes were filmed first across challenging locations in Punjab, while actor Aena later filmed the character’s younger sequence under a separate styling team.
As Mitti De Baway unfolds, audiences eagerly anticipate how Billo’s commanding presence will reshape the trajectory of the dramatic story. Will this stark, character-driven transformation mark a new milestone in Pakistani television styling?
