Asma Abbas (Urdu: اسما عباس) is a Pakistani actress, producer, singer and host known for her supporting roles in Urdu films and television dramas. She played the role of Fehmida in the acclaimed 2018 serial Ranjha Ranjha Kardi. She hosted celebrity talk show Awaz Day Kahan Hai on ATV.

Early life

[edit | edit source]

Abbas is the daughter of writer and journalist Ahmad Bashir and the sister of actors Bushra Ansari and Sumbul Shahid.[1] She is also the mother of actress Zara Noor Abbas.[2][3][4] In 2018, she successfully recovered from cancer.[1]

Career

[edit | edit source]

Some of her notable performances include Dastaan (2010), Gohar-e-Nayab (2013), Nanhi (2013), Laado Mein Pali (2014), Laaj (2016), Koi Chand Rakh (2018) and Beti (2018).[2][5][6] In 2018, her portrayals of Fehmida, the loving mother of a mentally challenged person in Ranjha Ranjha Kardi and Bakhtawar, the rigid matriarch of a family in Khudparast were acclaimed critically.[7][8]

In 2019, she played Dildar Begum in historical drama Deewar-e-Shab.[3] The same year, she appeared in a talk show Speak Your Heart With Samina Peerzada.[9]

Abbas' performance along with Uzma Beg, as feuding, social media-obsessed grandmothers in the 2021 comedy series Chupk Chupke were hailed as "simply brilliant" by DAWN Images.[10]

Other work

[edit | edit source]

Abbas ventured into the fashion industry in July 2020 by launching her clothing line, Asma Abbas Designs, a brand specializing in traditional day-to-day wear. The collection is a tribute to the female actors of Pakistan, naming items after actresses like Roohi Bano, Zeba Bakhtiar and Samina Peerzada, to name a few.[11]
