Hiba Bukhari

you & me

Started off her career at a very young age, Hiba Bukhari swiftly became one of the top actresses of the industry. She marked her debut with Geo TV's Rom-Com ‘Teri Meri Jodi’ (2015-16) in a supporting role and soon started appearing as lead. She has made right choices of dramas and reached the level of fame and popularity in a short span of time. She always denounced herself to be portrayed as a ‘weepy’ in serials and preferred to convey a strong message to the society by playing strong characters. Thus she gave mega hits like ‘Thori Si Wafa’ for which she won Best Soap Actress Award. She is known for her leading roles in ‘Bholi Bano’ (2017), ‘Silsilay’ (2018), ‘Haara Dil’ (2018), ‘Ramz-e-Ishq’ (2019), and ‘Deewangi’ (2019).
