ABOUT

A Lux and Masala award winner, Amna Ilyas has risen to become one of the most prominent names in the Pakistani film and fashion industry combined. Born and raised in Karachi, Pakistan, Amna began her modeling career at the age of 16 when a family friend recommended she begin her career with one odd photoshoot.

She began her transition into acting in 2013. Her first projects Good Morning Karachi and Zinda Bhaag garnered extensive critical acclaim and cemented Amna's status as an actress. Since then Amna has been a part of feature films as well as a string of television and web series. Amna has recently wrapped up shooting on a feature film with a working title as of now and is currently shooting a horror series Bandish 2 which is set to air on ARY, one of Pakistan's leading channels.

A believer in taking on roles that are bold and unpredictable, Amna hopes to tackle more experimental roles that continue to add to her multifaceted list of projects. A project with Cillian Murphy wouldn't hurt either!!
