Mahira Khan is sweet: Sunny Leone
Mumbai, Feb 4 (IANS) Bollywood actress Sunny Leone, who has performed on the song “Laila main Laila” from “Raees”, says Pakistani actress Mahira Khan — who features as Shah Rukh Khan’s love interest in the movie — is a sweet person.

We hung out and spoke to each other. She is lovely and beautiful. I don’t think she would ever look this amazing as she looks in the song ‘Laila main Laila’.”
In response to this, Sunny tweeted: “Yes, I remember meeting her at the airport. She is so sweet and I’m so happy for her.”
