Mehwish Hayat is a popular Pakistani film and television actress who has been a part of several highest-grossing films. Not only that, she is also the highest-grossing actor in the history of the Pakistani film industry.
Mehwish made her debut with the film Jawani Phir Nahi Ani (2015). Later, she did films such as Actor in Law (2016).

Mehwish Hayat's Relationship With Dawood Ibrahim?
Reports suggest that Dawood Ibrahim allegedly became attracted to Mehwish Hayat after seeing her in an item song, and her rumored connection with him is believed to have helped her land several high-profile films.
The rumors of Mehwish Hayat's relationship with Dawood Ibrahim began after she was awarded Pakistan's civilian honor, Tamgha-e-Imtiaz, in 2019. For the unversed, Hayat is 27 years younger than Dawood Ibrahim. Mehwish Hayat Got Aishwarya Rai's Role
Yes, you read that right! Mehwish was initially considered for Aishwarya Rai's role in Fanney Khan. However, the actress was not cast in the end. Mehwish Hayat Wanted to Be Pakistan's Prime Minister
In a recent conversation with Geo TV, Mehwish Hayat revealed her interest in politics, expressing her desire to one day become the Prime Minister of Pakistan.
Hayat said, 'I am inspired by their (ruling Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party) politics because they have brought about good changes and a paradigm shift in the way society used to think. Imran Khan was a cricketer before he took the plunge into politics. If a cricketer can become the prime minister of the country, surely actors can also become one as well.'

Saiyaara: All The Box Office Records Broken By Ahaan Panday And Aneet Padda's Debut Film
New Delhi: Yash Raj Films and director Mohit Suri's new romantic drama, Saiyaara, has taken the box office by storm. Starring debutant Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, the film has delivered one of the biggest openings for a newcomer-led film in Indian cinema history. Record-Breaking Opening Day Released on July 18, Saiyaara earned Rs 25 crore (approx. $2.9 million) on its first day in India. According to figures from YRF, nearly 9.75 lakh people watched the film in theatres on Day 1. This is the biggest opening day ever for a Hindi film led by debutants. It surpassed the record set by Dhadak (Rs 8.76 crore) in 2018. The film also had the highest opening day for a romantic film in recent years, ahead of Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani (Rs 11.1 crore), Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya (Rs 6.7 crore), Tu Jhoothi Main Makkar (Rs 15.73 crore), and Kabir Singh (Rs 20.21 crore). Highest Opening Day Ticket Sales For A Debut Film Saiyaara recorded Rs 9.39 crore in advance bookings before its release, with 3.8 lakh tickets sold. Trade analyst Taran Adarsh reported that 1.38 lakh tickets were sold across national chains, including 1.05 lakh in PVR INOX and 33,000 in Cinepolis. This is the highest opening day ticket sales for a debut film since 2000, when Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai and Refugee made headlines for their strong openings. Best Opening Of Mohit Suri's Career Director Mohit Suri, known for films like Aashiqui 2 and Ek Villain, has delivered his career-best opening with Saiyaara. The film's Rs 21 crore nett opening beats Ek Villain (Rs 16.70 crore), Murder 2 (Rs 6.95 crore), and Aashiqui 2 (Rs 6.10 crore). Fewer Shows, Bigger Impact What makes the film's success more notable is that it achieved this with just 8,000 screenings across India, less than half of the average 18,000 shows usually needed for such collections. Despite this, several theatres reported sold-out shows in major cities. Saiyaara Enters Top 5 Highest Opening Weekends Of 2025 Globally, Saiyaara grossed $11.9 million in its opening weekend, placing it at number 9 on the global box office chart, as per Comscore. In India, the two-day gross stood at $6.6 million, with Sunday numbers expected to push the total higher. The total weekend collection has reached Rs 83 crore, making it one of the top five highest opening weekends of 2025. Ahead Of Big Star-Studded Films In just three days, Saiyaara has earned more than several major releases of the year, including Sky Force (Rs 12.25 crore), Raid 2 (Rs 19.25 crore), Sitaare Zameen Par (Rs 10.7 crore) and Kesari Chapter 2 (Rs 7.75 crore). It has also overtaken the lifetime collections of Maalik (Rs 23.27 crore), Deva (Rs 33.97 crore), Maa (Rs 38.51 crore) and The Diplomat (Rs 40.73 crore). The film surpassed Anurag Basu's star-studded film Metro... In Dino (Rs 48.47 crore) as well. A Romantic Comeback With the re-releases of Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani (Rs 22.04 crore) and Sanam Teri Kasam (Rs 35.55 crore) drawing good numbers earlier this year, Saiyaara adds to the growing interest in romantic films. It now leads this trend with its strong box office run.
