Former television host and actress Noor Bukhari, who quit showbiz for religious reasons, has given birth to a baby girl. Posting the happy news on her official Instagram handle, Noor broke the news of her daughter’s birth to her fans.

Noor Bukhari was initially wedded in 2008 to businessman Vikram, whose marriage was termed as a failure within two years. She later wedded Farooq Mengal in 2010, but that union did not last even for a year. She then got married to Aun Chaudhry in 2012 and gave birth to a daughter from him, but the marriage dissolved within months. Noor married singer Wali Hamid in 2015, which lasted till 2017. Noor and Aun Chaudhry remarried according to reports that came to light in 2020.

In her latest Instagram post, Noor posted a picture holding the small hand of her newly born daughter. She referenced a Quranic verse and announced the name of the baby, saying, “فَبِأَ يِّ آلَاءِ رَبِّكُمَا تُكَذِّبَانِ – By the grace of Allah, we have been blessed with a beautiful daughter, Dua Zahra.”

She called on her followers to pray for the good luck of her daughter, stating, “May Allah protect her from the evil eye, make her healthy, righteous, lucky and a comfort to her parents. Remember my daughter in your prayers.

Noor had given birth to a son, Ali Raza, in 2023 earlier. Noor is now a mother of four — three daughters and a son — with the arrival of Dua Zahra. Her oldest daughter is 12 years old, followed by Sheherbano aged 5, Muhammad Ali Raza aged 2, and the latest addition, Dua Zahra.

Noor Bukhari has a religious lifestyle in recent years. She has changed her look and committed to worship. Bushra Bibi, wife of former Prime Minister Imran Khan, is her spiritual guide. Noor was also spotted with Bushra Bibi during a recent Umrah pilgrimage. Their pictures went viral on social media.
