Kubra Khan is one of Pakistan’s biggest superstars. She has been active in the industry for over a decade, and she has carved out a space for herself that no one else can fill. She began her career in the UK, where she grew up, in modelling. The actress later moved to Pakistan and became a household name. Her family is from Multan, and they moved to the UK, where Kubra was brought up.
Kubra Khan is currently a big name who has shone in both drama and film projects. She is loved for her humble nature, and her fans look forward to watching her on screen.
Kubra Khan – The Debut
Kubra Khan knew Ahmed Ali Butt’s wife, Fatima Khan. She came to Pakistan to attend Fatima’s wedding, and that is when she was roped in for her very first project. Kubra, unlike many of her contemporaries, started her showbiz career with films. She starred opposite Mohsin Abbas Haider in Na Maloom Afraad 1. The film was a hit at the box office, and Kubra was noticed by the industry.
The actress is now an established film star with big projects like Jawani Phir Nahi Aani 2, Parwaaz Hai Junoon and London Nahi Jaunga to her credit.
Kubra Khan – Dream Drama Debut
Kubra Khan shifted to dramas after making a successful film debut. The actress chose a classic when she starred as Shireen in Sang e Mar Mar. Her innocent looks and good acting made her a fan favourite in her very debut show. She was lucky to land three very diverse and great scripts, i.e. Sang e Mar Mar, Muqabil and Khuda Aur Mohabbat 2 in her debut year. She has since starred in many classics and continues to impress.
Acting Evolution
Kubra Khan was brought up in the UK. Her Urdu accent was not on point when she started working in Pakistan. The superstar has completed a decade in showbiz now, and her acting prowess has become far more polished. She is now a star who emotes beautifully through her expressions. The improvement from Sang e Mar Mar to Muqabil showed the range the actress possessed. She is now considered the best on Pakistan television, which is evident through Alif, Jannat Se Aagay and Noor Jahan.
Brilliant Script Choices
Kubra Khan started her career with films. She was primarily a film actress who later started working in dramas. From the very start of her career, the actress was conscious of her script choices. She appeared in Muqabil, where she played a child abuse survivor. She was seen in Alif as Husn e jahan, a character who will always live on in television history. She played a soldier in Sinf e Aahan and showcased the struggles of a morning show host in Jannat Se Aagay. She is currently appearing in Dr Bahu, where she has once again picked up a brilliant story on how a career-oriented woman is treated after marriage.
Health Struggles
At the very peak of her career, Kubra Khan faced bodyshaming on social media. She was seen gaining a few pounds, and she was being bullied. That is when she revealed that she went through a major health struggle. The actress had to get surgery, and medicines were the reasons for her weight gain. She was even sceptical about signing any more projects. That is when she was offered Hum Kahan Ke Sachay Thay. She signed up for it and showed the world that a few extra pounds do not take anything away from her talent.
This is what she shared:
Spirituality
Kubra Khan has spiritually grown through her journey in life, and the roles she has played have also played a big part in her growth. After she played a spiritual character as Husn e Jahan in Alif, she became very careful about what her next choice would be. She has spoken about the impact that character had on her. She felt more conscious of her choices and felt her spirituality grow in real life as well.
Here is what she revealed:
Finding Love
Kubra Khan and Gohar Rasheed are both superstars of the drama world. They have been friends for a decade now. Their fans always shipped them together, but it was never romantic love between them. Things changed, feelings progressed, and Gohar Rasheed was the first to realise that Kubra would be the best life partner. Kubra Khan hesitated and rejected his proposal initially. The actor then took a year to convince her, and they finally got married in a beautiful Nikkah ceremony in Makkah Mukarramah.
Shutting Down Sceptics
Kubra Khan has time and again shown how strong a performer she has been. She was criticised when she appeared in Jannat Se Aagay. People thought that she would just play a caricature of a morning show host, but her role showed so much depth. She took on physical training in Sinf e Aahan after going through a very painful health procedure. The actress was once again getting trolled, where people made age-shaming comments on her as she starred opposite Shuja Asad, but she has proven everyone wrong with the chemistry she was able to create with her co-star.
Kubra Khan is definitely a superstar of the new era, and her presence is defined by hard work, great choices and faith in herself!
