Actress and loving mother Syra Yousuf wrote a heartfelt birthday message for her daughter Nooreh, who turned 10 on Monday.
Syra shared a cute video on Instagram to celebrate Nooreh’s special day. In the caption, Syra expressed how amazed she is at how fast her daughter is growing up.
“And just like that, you’ve stepped into the double digits! Watching you grow up so fast has been surreal,” she wrote.
Syra described Nooreh as “bright, beautiful, and compassionate” and “kind-hearted, joyous, and whimsical,” calling her a “magical mystery box” with wonderful qualities.
She ended her message with, “May the love and happiness you share with others return to you tenfold. I love you Always, Forever.”
The post went viral, getting lots of likes and birthday wishes from Syra’s followers.
Actors and former spouses Syra Yousuf and Shahroz Sabzwari have shared the first look of their forthcoming film, Babylicious, touted to release on Valentine’s Day. The makers have promised it to be a feel-good romantic film.
Sabzwari took to his Instagram on Thursday with a monochrome poster of the film that sees the pair in an embrace.
“Yes, guys. It’s releasing. We were just waiting for Valentine’s to come around,” he wrote. In the poster, Yousuf, dressed in a black crop top and beige pants, looks straight into the camera with a smile while her hero, clad in a leather jacket, hugs her.
The Mera Naseeb star also shared the news of their film on social media and revealed that Babylicious took 12 years to complete. “This February 2023, it will be 12 years since we became attached to this film. So very excited for you all to see it! Presenting the first look of our new movie, Babylicious,” she wrote.
Four years back on Valentine’s Day in 2018, Syra and Shahroz shared a still from the film.
Sabzwari shares a daughter Nooreh with Yousuf. He married model Sadaf Kanwal shortly after his divorce and recently welcomed Syeda Zahra Sabzwari, another daughter, to his family with Kanwal.
Actor Syra Yousuf appeared on Pyar Zindagi Aur Karachi for Fuchsia Magazinewhere she and the host strolled through Karachi, talking about their earliest memories of famous landmarks, and food items as well as how life has been for both of them. As they started their mini trip, Yousuf shared a lot about Karachi’s famous food places, her life as a teen, and her routine with Nooreh.
Then came a much-pondered question about Nooreh’s bond with the latest addition to the Sabzwari family, her younger sister Zahra.
“You know all of her friends have siblings and even Alishba [Yousuf’s eldest sister], she has two kids, so she has seen siblings everywhere and she wanted one. So when Zahra was born she was on top of the world and it’s lovely to see, it makes me very happy to see her feel that way towards [her sister],” the Sinf-e-Aahan actor said.
When the host brought up videos that show Nooreh’s bond with the newborn, Yousuf added that she’s glad those videos steered clear of all forms of negativity. “I don’t think we should pollute the minds of children. They are innocent, they are pure and we should keep it that way,” Yousuf added.
Yousuf also shared that she wants to do a TV drama and is currently in the process of reading different scripts. “I’ll be very honest, I’ve come to the conclusion that dramas and films take a lot of time. There are grueling working hours, it takes a lot of time. I’m not going to pick up crappy scripts just because I have to be on screen. I’m a mother, I’d much rather spend time with my child. Till I don’t get a good script until I don’t feel like this is what I want to give my time to, I don’t see why I should pick a script.”
When asked if she’d be absent from the screen for long because of these scripts, Yousuf said people “should be able to accommodate each other” because she’s a single mother and cannot leave her daughter for days on end.
Earlier this year, the Mera Naseeb star spoke about her widely speculated divorce with Shahroz Sabzwari, the media’s insensitive coverage of the issue, and how she battled with that phase in a recent interview.
She also revealed how her personal life was sensationalised across the board, with her divorce being highlighted in the media repeatedly. Syra shared, “I don’t feel betrayed because I didn’t expect much. But I do find it very insensitive because where you are recycling a story and making connections again and again for the sake of likes and numbers, it’s very important for you to understand that someone else is actually living through what you are constantly talking about.”
She elaborated further, “For me, it was my life in real-time, and I was experiencing it already, and that kind of bombardment from the industry, I feel like it was insensitive. Personal lives should stay personal, and if you do end up finding something out from some source, there’s a way to put it out there.”
Speaking about how, initially, the media storm made her feel vulnerable, the Project Ghazi star added, “I felt very exposed. I just kept wondering when people would stop talking about it so that I could process it on my own.”
However, the actor explained how she found light at the end of the tunnel, sharing, “I feel like in shutting out the outside world, I had the opportunity to go inwards. So, sometimes uncomfortable situations can actually help you end up in a better place.”
Syra and Shahroz tied the knot in 2012 after a long on-off relationship that began in 2006. The celebrity couple separated in late 2019 and later confirmed their divorce in February 2020. The very same year later, Shahroz tied the knot with model Sadaf Kanwal.

A viral photo of actor Sheheryar Munawar and Bollywood star Deepika Padukone dining out in Dubai went viral on social media. The photo was soon taken down by major social media blogging pages on request of the Zindagi Gulzar Hai hero.
In an interview with a digital magazine Sheheryar stated that, “You must have only seen it for only 20 minutes. I got it removed as soon as I could. Obviously, I could not reach all the media outlets but thank you to all the journalists and my PR team for helping me get it removed.”
The actor further revealed that although he met Padukone over dinner, he did not want the picture to go viral since it was a casual meeting and the actors interacted on a human level.
“Nothing actually, it was a casual interaction, it was a human interaction. We were together at a dinner for 2-3 hours and I had only talked to her on a human level. I did not want it to leak in the form of a picture. However, it go leaked and I had to take an action,” said the actor.
Considering the sociopolitical scenario in India, the picture could have garnered criticism for Deepika by BJP supporters.
