The list of some of the most attractive Afghan actresses is presented here. Some of them have a mixed blood lineage. Others are former beauty queens, singers, dancers, and models.
Azita Ghanizada
Azita Ghanizada was born with a remarkable background of cultural opposition. Her family left their home Afghanistan as the Soviets invaded and ended up as political asylum seekers in the suburbs outside the US Capitol. Her early years weren’t easy.
For her performance in “Complete Unknown,” she was named one of the “Seven Sundance Breakout Actresses You Must Know” (2016). She most recently appeared in recurring roles on the television shows “Ballers” on HBO and “Good Trouble” on Freeform. She will next be seen in three feature films, including “Our Friend,” which had its world debut at TIFF (2019).
In addition, Azita founded and serves as president of the MENA Arts Advocacy Coalition (MAAC). After creating the first new Diversity, Equity and Inclusion recruiting category in the entertainment industry in 37 years, she founded an organization.
Mozhdah Jamalzadah
Never does Mozhdah refer to herself as “the Oprah of Afghanistan.” That is simply the moniker her devoted fans, who include celebrities like Barack and Michelle Obama as well as Oprah Winfrey herself, have given her.
Mozhdah has garnered both ardent admiration and intense controversy with her well recognized music career and ground-breaking television program The Mozhdah Show. She is the first musician from Afghanistan to write and perform popular English-language songs that are heard around the world.
She is the first Afghani woman to endure threats to her life in order to broadcast her own talk show and discuss delicate issues affecting Afghani women and children. She is the first Afghani female performer to appear on CNN, The Oprah Winfrey Show, or perform in the White House. She also spoke about empowerment on these platforms.
Layla Alizada
Award-winning actress Layla Alizada has played a variety of interesting characters in drama and comedy, establishing her as “one to watch” this year. Her roles have ranged from a daughter watching her father be deported to his country of origin for an execution to an Indian doctor who is a closeted lesbian and being forced into an arranged marriage.
The short film Day One, which was nominated for an Academy Award in 2015, features Layla as its lead (2015). In her role as Feda, an Afghan-American woman going through a divorce and hired as an interpreter for the US Army, Layla impresses.
Layla earned her first significant break when she co-starred in “Chasing Freedom” with Juliette Lewis as an immigrant woman seeking asylum in the United States. She received the Gracie Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Special in addition to being nominated for a 2005 Gemini Award for Best Performance by an Actress in a Featured Supporting Role in a Dramatic Program or Mini-Series for her work in the role.
Annet Mahendru
Having spent her early years in Afghanistan, Russia, and Europe, Annet spent those years mastering six different languages. Her father is Indian, while her mother is Russian. The legendary ballet, art, and theatre culture in St. Petersburg, as well as Annet’s upbringing in a large Indian family and rich Bollywood film diet, all helped to prepare her for her career as an ambassador of change via narrative. Her varied interests were combined with her ambition and mission to become an actress.
Annet is best recognized for her lead role in the 2013 television series The Americans, in which she portrays “Nina,” a stunning and enigmatic spy who works alongside FBI Agent Stan Beeman (Noah Emmerich). holds a brown belt in karate and performs Bharata Natyam dance. With her husband Louie Gibson, she has a kid.
Marina Golbahari
A gorgeous young actress who Sadiq Barmak, the director, stumbled onto. She was 13 years old and begging on the Afghani streets of Kabul to provide for her family. She was cast by the director as the unidentified boy who became “Osama” in the movie Osama (2003).
In the year following the release of “Osama,” she continued to pursue acting as a vocation by appearing in four other movies. She has only ever seen a bootleg video footage of “Titanic” before to playing the lead in “Osama.” For her part in “Osama,” she was paid $14. Later, she was awarded a $4,000 prize at a global film festival in Seoul, South Korea.
She supported her parents with the money she earned. She is a quiet, modest girl who smiles a lot, but she is also known for her blushing and giggles.
