Ever the humble A-Lister, Mahira Khan had nothing but loving words for her long-time makeup artist Adnan Ansari as she took to Instagram to wish him a happy birthday.
Sharing a slew of memories with Adnan in the form of pictures and videos, Mahira wrote, “People always ask me why I post so many photos of my team, particularly my make-up artists,” and then proceeded to explain why.
“Adnan was an asst. makeup artist at Nabila’s when I was a VJ at MTV. We were all sent to Nabila’s for a makeover and I wasn’t ready to get anything done so I was assigned to Adnan,” she reminisced. “We sat there literally twiddling our thumbs. I remember laughing at everything he said. This was 2006/7.”
More than 15 years later, Mahira shared that Adnan is not just her makeup artist now but much more than that.
“He’s my friend, my brother, my keeper of secrets,” she wrote. “He has seen me cry sneakily onset and held my hand through it. I have held him in my arms when he has broken down. We have laughed, cried, danced all night, ate like crazy, traveled the world… all of it… together.. he is my family.”
