Nadia Ali (born July 22, 1991) is a Pakistani-American former pornographic actress, who worked from 2015 to 2016.[1][2][3][4]
Early life
Nadia Ali (Urdu: نادیہ علی) is a first-generation American who is from Pakistan.[1] She is the second of her family. She felt isolated by her family's conservatism although she did not wear a hijab.[3] She was raised as a Punjabi Muslim and in an interview on July 2016 with Refinery29, she stated that still identified herself as a practicing Muslim.[3][3]
Pornographic career
Ali was encouraged to wear a hijab in pornography due to sexual taboo and to increase her opportunities.[3] One of her films, titled Women of the Middle East, involves a domestic violence scene followed by a sex scene, when the man becomes aroused. Its advertising blurb reads: "They may look suppressed, but given an opportunity to express themselves freely, their wild, untamable natural sexuality is released. "[1] She blames culture, rather than religion, for patriarchy in Pakistan and has said she wanted to make solo and lesbian scenes to "show the world that south asian girls of Pakistani descent really do get horny."[1] She has said that she has been "banned" from Pakistan for performing in pornography in a hijab, and also has received on-line death-threats for performing.[3]
In 2016, she left the pornographic industry after making twenty scenes, when her mother discovered she was doing porn and became depressed.[5] She also stated that she found the idea of her 21st film, of a man resembling Donald Trump having sex with a Muslim woman, to be degrading.[3] Her booking to perform in Florida after the 2016 Pulse Orlando shooting were canceled for fear of backlash.[3]
