Since then, the renowned actress has worked in some of the hit Pakistani dramas, such as Udaari, Bay Dardi, Zebaish, Tere Bin, Deewar-e-Shab, and many more. Apart from her professional front, Bushra Bashir's personal life also came under the limelight recently. After getting divorced from her first husband, Iqbal Ansari in 2014, Bushra once again got married to Iqbal Hussain in 2023.

Bushra Bashir calls out societal double standards

However, the Pakistani actress is older than her husband and this became an issue in Eastern society. Bushra was called out for marrying Iqbal Hussain at the age of 66, although the age gap between the couple is not known yet. But the actress did not back out from fighting such backward thinking of the society. Recently, she reshared Instant Bollywood’s video featuring the Indian actor, Milind Soman with his wife, Ankita Konwar. The video highlighted the 26-year age difference between the two and has garnered 5.5 million views. Sharing the video on her IG feed, the Pakistani actress wrote:

“It’s nothing new.. So it’s ok for a man to!! Hay na ?? Hahahaha.”
