The very talented and gorgeous, Zara Noor Abbas has kept the legacy of the most gifted sisters alive.

Personal Life:

Since childhood, Zara knew she had to become an actor. She would participate in plays, dance competitions and shows. At her TEDTalk, she recalls how she struggled to convince her father to allow her to participate in a play in Iran. She counted on her mother’s support to get the permission, which she eventually got.

As she grew older, her passion for acting became more intense. Her father did not want her to join the showbiz industry. Her parents coaxed her into getting married as they would not let her act. She can pursue her dreams once she is married. Hence she got married. However, it was a marriage for wrong reasons and did not last long. Her parents realized their mistake and let their daughter pursue her passion.

Zara recalls the time her mother was diagnosed with cancer as a tough time in her life. Being very close to her mother, Zara could hardly bear the tragic news. She realized she had to be her mother’s strength and support her along the course of recovery. By the grace of Allah she defeated the grave illness.

Zara and her husband Asad Siddiqui met at a film premiere. Asad had worked with her aunt, Bushra Ansari in Geo’s drama serial. She approved of Asad and felt the two would get along well. Asad was also a divorcee. They got married in 2017. Zara has had a bitter experience of miscarriage. She talks openly about how she went into depression and self-blame after that.
