Early Life and Education

Nida Yasir was born on October 12, 1973, in Karachi, Pakistan, into a creative Muslim family. Her father, Kazim Pasha, was a well-known television director and producer, and her mother, Fehmida Nasreen, was a retired program director and producer.

Growing up in Karachi with three siblings—sisters Sawera and Sina, and brother Talha—Nida was exposed to the entertainment industry early, often visiting her father’s sets. She completed her primary and intermediate education in Karachi, later graduating with a degree in Mass Communication from the University of Karachi.

Initially aspiring to study hotel management in Lausanne, Switzerland, she trained at the Marriott Hotel in Karachi for two years but shifted to acting due to low salaries in the hospitality sector and financial constraints. Her academic and early professional experiences shaped her multifaceted media career.

Career

Nida Yasir began her career as a producer and model, leveraging her family’s industry connections. Her acting debut came with the TV serial Jannat (date unspecified), followed by roles in Kaisi Hain Dooriyan (2006) as Saima, Nadaaniyaan (2009) alongside her husband Yasir Nawaz, and Hum Tum (2010) as Saima, which boosted her popularity. She also appeared in Sub Set Hai (2001) on Indus Vision.

As a producer, she co-produced the telefilm Baal Baal Bach Gaye (2010) and films like Wrong No. (2015), Mehrunisa V Lub U (2017), Wrong No. 2 (2019), and Chakkar (2022) under YNH Films with Yasir Nawaz. She made a cameo in Wrong No. 2 and starred as Mahi in the 2021 telefilm Uff Yeh Biwiyaan on YouTube.

Her hosting career took off with Good Morning Pakistan on ARY Digital (2011–present), replacing Shaista Lodhi. The show’s success made her a household name, connecting with audiences through celebrity interviews and lifestyle segments. She previously hosted a cooking show with Chef Mehboob on ARY Zauq and Ramadan specials like GMP Shan-e-Suhoor (2021).

Nida faced controversies, including a 2020 backlash for insensitive questions to a rape victim’s parents and a 2021 viral clip for ill-researched Formula 1 questions, sparking the hashtag #BanNidaYasir. Despite criticism, her resilience and fan base keep her prominent. She plans to launch her NYC clothing brand, reflecting her fashion influence.

Personal Life

Nida Yasir lives in Karachi with her husband, Yasir Nawaz, a director and actor, whom she married on June 2, 2002, after meeting on the set of the telefilm Muhabbat. Initially rejecting his proposal due to his Sindhi background, she grew to appreciate his humor.

They have three children: sons Fareed and Balaj, and daughter Silah. Nida has admitted to trust issues with Yasir, calling it a “manufacturing fault” in interviews, but their marriage remains strong. Her father-in-law, Fareed Nawaz Baloch, was a TV artist (died 2001), and her brother-in-law, Danish Nawaz, is an actor/director.

A pet lover and Kathak-trained dancer, Nida enjoys cooking, traveling, and gym workouts, maintaining a 55 kg frame with a healthy diet of oats, grilled vegetables, and daal roti. She faced a robbery in Istanbul in 2021, losing diamond jewelry. Her Libra zodiac sign and Muslim faith shape her vibrant, family-oriented persona. No major ongoing controversies exist beyond past show-related criticism.
