Khan has a longstanding link-up with PSL war zone

This isn’t Khan’s first time with Zalmi — she was also the face of PSL 3 and PSL 4. She also appeared in the music video for the team’s anthem in season four of the PSL. She’s also one of the most bankable Pakistani actresses with a sponsorship pact with L’Oreal.

In the promotional picture released by Zalmi to announce Khan’s ambassadorship, she’s wearing Zalmi colors — black pants and a black sweatshirt with yellow patterns on the front. She’s also sitting on a yellow car.

Afridi’s statement

“Glad to announced Mahira Khan as Peshawar Zalmi Ambassador for the third time, it’s a hat trick of the winning partnership. Mahira Khan is one of the biggest showbiz stars of Pakistan and we are thrilled to have her for PSL 6. She was with Zalmi in seasons three and four too and I hope this will continue in the coming years.”
