Fatima Zara Mallick

you & me

After  making a sensational debut with television serial ‘Wafa Kar Chalay’, rising actor Fatima Zara Mallick is fast becoming a league of her own. The choice of her roles and the way she gets to sink her teeth into those challenging characters, clearly displays her versatility as an artist of competence and calibre. With her intricate roles in serials ‘Pakeeza Phuppo’ and ‘Zaibaish’ with legendary Bushra Ansari, she outshines herself and emerges as a much better actor than she ever was, free of her inhibitions and simply flawless.

Studied and grew up in Italy, Fatima preferred Arts, History and Fashion as her favourite subjects. Things in her life changed when she came back to Pakistan and started her own workout fitness boutique. It got so popular that stars like Nadia Hussain, Mahira Khan, Sanam Jang, Mawra Hocane etc. started coming there to attain their fitness goals under her able guidance. Courtesy to her ravishing looks, she was offered to model and she came out with campaigns for designers and brands like Sonia Batla, Maheen Kareem, Zainab Chottani, Sanam Chaudhary, Natasha, Sherzad and Depilex. Apart from modelling and acting, she has also served as an RJ and celebrity host for a FM Channel and a couple of morning shows. One of the crowning moment of her career was hosting for the star studded red carpet of ‘International Pakistan Prestige Awards’ held in Oslo, Norway, last year. Let’s now look at the likes and dislike of this multi-talented performer.
