Afshan Azad – Padma Patil

Afshan Azad, born in Manchester, England, to Bangladeshi parents, gained fame as a British actress for her role as Padma Patil in the Harry Potter series. Beyond her somewhat plain on-screen beauty, Afshan boasts an off-screen glamour with dark hair and a petite stature. Post-Potter, she thrives as an actress, gracing television shows like “EastEnders” and “Doctors,” and starring in the Bollywood film “Nanhe Jaisalmer.”

In 2022, she welcomed her daughter Anya with her husband Nabil Kazi. Afshan’s success echoes as she embodies a role model for women of color, showcasing beauty and achievement beyond conventions. Afshan is a testament that success is achieved by embracing one’s unique qualities.
