From Bhagalpur to Bollywood: Sufia Tanweer’s Steady Rise
At just 23, Sufia Tanweer, a Bhagalpur-born model and actress, is making her mark in Mumbai’s competitive film world. After honing her craft in Mumbai theatre, she earned praise for her powerful roles in short films like Ex Talk, Move On, and Hi Honey, and has also featured in TV serials, web series, and music videos.
Now shooting for her debut Bollywood feature film as a lead, Sufia is known for choosing roles with substance. “I’m not chasing screen time — I’m chasing meaningful stories,” she says.
With roots in a small town and ambitions reaching South Indian cinema, Sufia credits her mother’s words — “Hard work never loses” — for keeping her grounded. A star in the making, her journey is just beginning.
