Bahareh Kianafshar (Persian: بهاره کیان‌افشار; born May 2, 1983) is an Iranian actress. She began her professional acting career in 2006 with the television series Kolah Pahlavi, portraying the character "Shadi Mostasharnia", with her voice dubbed by Fariba Ramezanpour. This role brought her significant recognition. She received nominations for the Hafez Award for her performances in the series Asheghaneh (2016–2017) and Golshifteh (2017–2018).[1][2]

Early Life

[edit]

Bahareh Kianafshar was born on 2 May 1983 in Tehran, Iran.[3] She was introduced to theatre during her primary school years, but her parents were not supportive of her pursuing acting as a career. During high school, she aspired to attend a theatre school and study arts, but her parents opposed this, preferring that she pursue a medical education. Uninterested in the sciences, Kianafshar opted for a diploma in mathematics and physics and later studied computer engineering at university.[4]

In 2004, at the age of 19 and while still a university student, Kianafshar joined the theatre group led by Azita Hajian, where she trained in physical movement, tone, and expression. In 2006, through an introduction by her high school classmate Tina Pakravan, she secured the role of Shadi Mostasharnia in Kolah Pahlavi. In 2008, she made her cinematic debut in the film Shirin, directed by Abbas Kiarostami.[4][5]

Health Ambassador for Behnam Dehshpour Charity

[edit]

Kianafshar has been a long-time volunteer and active supporter of the Behnam Dehshpour Charity Institute. In 2015, during the charity's year-end celebration, she was appointed as the Health Ambassador for the institute.[6][7][8]

Consideration for Lead Role in the Controversial Film Laleh

[edit]

During the 2012 Fajr Film Festival, the producers of the controversial film Laleh (based on the life of Laleh Seddigh, an Iranian motorsport champion) announced that Kianafshar had been selected for the lead role. However, it was later reported in some media outlets that her selection was canceled due to her limited proficiency in English. Mahnaz Afshar was also previously considered for the role.[9][10][11] Ultimately, Sara Amiri was chosen as the lead actress for Laleh.

Songwriting

[edit]

Kianafshar wrote the lyrics for the song "To Hasti," performed by Bahram Radan. The music video for the song was released in 2013.[12][13][14][15]

  • She also wrote the lyrics for five tracks on Radan’s album The Other Side.

Inclusion in List of Beautiful Muslim Women

[edit]

In December 2023, Kianafshar was ranked seventh on a list of the ten most beautiful Muslim women published by the website FillGap.[16][17][18]
