Ayesha Omar (born October 12, 1981) is a Pakistani actress, model, singer, television host, and former MTV Pakistan VJ and painter. She is best known for portraying the character of Khoobsurat in ARY Digital's sitcom Bulbulay. Omar has also tried her hand at singing and released two singles, Aao and Koi To Ho. She has also worked as a Host for a TV show in the past.
Career
At the age of eight, Omar started hosting Meray Bachpan Kay Din with Muneeza Hashmi in which she would interview celebrities about their early days.[1]
However, it was her break in the light teen comedy Kollege Jeans that promoted her career in television. The show was directed by another NCA graduate Jawad Bashir and cast her alongside Ali Zafar and other prominent TV personalities. Soon after she was invited to host a show called Rhythm for Prime TV where she interviewed musicians from all over Pakistan including veterans like Arif Lohar and Shazia Manzoor.[1]
Omar hosted ‘Hot Chocolate’ on ARY Zauq. She also hosted a morning show 'Ye Waqt Hai Mera' on CNBC Pakistan.[2]
Self-portraits controversy
In 2003, a set of paintings that Omar created for her final NCA thesis generated excitement and controversy when exhibited. The controversy surrounded her submission of two semi-nude self portraits, also a part of the exhibition. Asked, Ayesha would say that the Pakistani society has forgotten the integral preciousness of life and quoted that “the human body is the purest of all natural forms, it’s chaste, it’s innocent, but you have to see beyond the apparent to perceive the metaphysical.”[1]
