Mahira Khan is known for reflecting on the simple joys of life, and this time, she found inspiration in the abundance of greenery. On Instagram, she shared a series of photos celebrating the beauty of trees, expressing her deep admiration for nature’s gift.
The carousel featured various images of trees—one casting shadows over benches, others outlined against a vibrant sunset, and the welcoming presence of a palm tree, among others. Towards the end, Mahira posted a picture of herself standing next to a massive tree.
“I’ve always been fascinated by trees. I think it started with a story my Nana used to tell, which Ama shared with me (I’ll tell it another day),” she captioned the post. “I just love them. I’m a certified tree hugger and stargazer. To me, they feel like wise, old Sufi saints. Sometimes, I feel them gazing into my soul, and other times, it feels like they’re inviting me into their company. They’re full of lessons and wisdom.”
She also shared a quote from Herman Hesse, saying, “I read this and it’s so beautiful: ‘When we are stricken and cannot bear our lives any longer, then a tree has something to say to us: Be still! Be still! Look at me! Life is not easy, life is not difficult. Those are childish thoughts. . . . Home is neither here nor there. Home is within you, or home is nowhere at all.’
‘Whoever has learned how to listen to trees no longer wants to be a tree. He wants to be nothing except what he is. That is home. That is happiness!'” she concluded the post, adding a green heart to emphasize her message.
But Mahira’s love for nature isn’t limited to trees alone. She also incorporates natural elements into her fashion choices. In a recent post, she wore a dark red sari that perfectly captured her “desi girl” charm. Paired with dangling earrings and a set of green bangles, the look reminded her fans of a stem gently holding the petals of a blooming red rose.
The elegant ensemble was softened with a ring of motia flowers in her hair. Sharing more about her outfit, Mahira wrote, “Wore this sari two nights in a row. My friends call it ‘guts.’ I call it ‘who cares?'”
