Saboor Aly

Early life and career

Saboor Ali was born on 3 March 1995 in Lahore, Punjab, Pakistan to Syed Ali, a businessman, and Rahat Ali, a housewife. She has an elder sister, actress Sajal Aly (born January 1993), and a younger brother, Ali Syed. Ali's father left her mother and had a second marriage. In an online interview, she said that she was "angry" at her father, but now shares a "close bond with [him]." She received her primary education from Rahim Yar Khan's Lahore Grammar School. For further education, she enrolled herself in a college affiliated with the Punjab University; however she deferred it to pursue acting.

She started her career with a small role in Choti Si Kahani and followed it with a supporting role in the family drama Mehmoodabad Ki Malkain on ARY Digital in 2011, in which she appeared with her sister Sajal Aly. After that she again appeared with her sister Sajal, in an episode of Kitni Girhain Baqi Hain, an anthology series on Hum TV, and was subsequently featured in Hum TV's acclaimed romantic drama Bunty I Love You, alongside Saba Qamar. In September 2016, she made her film debut with Nabeel Qureshi's socio-comedy film Actor in Law, starring Fahad Mustafa, Mehwish Hayat and Om Puri. Her portrayal of a supportive sister of Mustafa's character earned her a Best Supporting Actress nomination at the Lux Style Awards. Ali played the lead in the telefilm Nanu Aur Main (2018), which revolves around the grandfather-granddaughter relationship. The telefilm received positive reviews from critics and the public, and she was praised for her performance. She next played second-lead roles in the dramas Teri Meri Kahani and Visaal, the latter of which is among the highest-rated Pakistani dramas of 2018.
