Pakistani actress Mahira Khan who was seen in Bollywood film Raees says she felt like "being punched in the stomach" when she saw the movie.

The actress on failure said, "The truth is that we have all gone through failure. I have personally as well as professionally experienced failure."

"I was advised by many people to not accept the role in ‘Bol' (Pakistani film) as it was a small one but my gut feeling told me otherwise. I also decided to act in the serial ‘Humsafar' on my gut feeling," added Mahira.

"There are no repeats of your first film, but somehow my name was missed as the ‘Bol' credits scrolled in front of me. Then for ‘Raees', even though the teaser said ‘introducing Mahira Khan', I felt like being punched in the stomach when there was no such credit in the film itself. Then when it was released, I was banned in India and the film was banned in Pakistan," added the actress.
