Mumbai, Feb 4 (IANS): Bollywood actress Sunny Leone, who has performed on the song "Laila main Laila" from "Raees", says Pakistani actress Mahira Khan -- who features as Shah Rukh Khan's love interest in the movie -- is a sweet person.

Mahira has made her Bollywood debut with the film. She was not able to attend the promotional activities of the film due to a ban imposed on Pakistani artistes by certain Hindu outfits in India.

Talking about Sunny in a video conference from Pakistan on Friday, Mahira told Indian media: "I love Sunny Leone's ‘Baby doll'. I have actually met her at an airport. We hung out and spoke to each other. She is lovely and beautiful. I don't think she would ever look this amazing as she looks in the song ‘Laila main Laila'."

In response to this, Sunny tweeted: "Yes, I remember meeting her at the airport. She is so sweet and I'm so happy for her."

Directed by Rahul Dholakia, the film also stars Nawazuddin Siddiqui in a pivotal role.
