You & me
After making a name for herself as a beautician, Zoya Nasir has been making waves in the showbiz industry as well where she broke in only last year but has managed to garner ample praises for herself. The fashionista made her television debut not too long ago with the drama serial ‘Hania’ alongside the notable Junaid Khan.
And, in spite of being a newbie, Nasir managed to deliver a brilliant performance of a frightened wife getting abused at the hands of her husband who is tangled in shady stuff. “My father, Nasir Adeeb, makes movies so I basically grew up on sets,” she shares, adding that her father, who is the writer of the old and the upcoming version of ‘Maula Jatt’, helps her master the craft. “The passion and love for acting, the creativity was already in me. My mom, on the other hand, owns salons in about three continents so I had that element in me as well,” she adds.
Prior to her jumping onboard the play, Nasir had been working as a junior partner at Sabs, and also owns salons in Miami, New York and Lahore. She visits America every summer to look after them. “The transition has been very surreal; I love both the professions that I have adapted,” Zoya maintained, while informing that once she is able to make a mark on television, she would love to make her big screen debut.
Currently, the emerging actress is being seen in drama serial ‘Deewangi’ on Geo, and looking forward to her next stint ‘Zebaish’ while polishing her skills as a fine TV actor. Let’s get to know the likes & dislikes of this young and talented artist…
