Nimra Bucha movie list

Nimra Bucha is a Pakistani-British actor. She was born and grew up in Karachi. Bucha is one of four siblings. Her father was a pilot and as children they traveled a great deal. She went to an all girls school in Karachi called the Convent of Jesus and Mary. She went on to do a BA at Bard College in the US. She always wanted a career in acting but was afraid it would be frowned upon by her family so she graduated with a major in Political Science instead.

In 2008 Hanif wrote The Dictators Wife which was devised and performed by Bucha at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. That was followed by a career in television and film in Pakistan and more recently in Britain and the United States.
