Aminath Noora (born 11 February 1986) is a Maldivian actress.

Career[edit]

In 2004, Noora made her screen debut with a video single directed by Mohamed Niyaz and rendered by Fazeela Amir.[1] Titled "Jaadhooga Jeheyney", the song topped several charts and was a hit, resulting in another video collaboration with Niyaz.[1] Titled "Visnaa Visnaa", the song marks the first Maldivian single aired through MTV (India).[1][2]

Noora made her film debut with a Dark Rain Entertainment production, the Ali Shifau-directed romantic comedy Vaashey Mashaa Ekee (2016) opposite Mohamed Jumayyil and Mariyam Majudha narrating the life of a happily married couple being separated due to the husband's crippling fear of commitment on his wife's pregnancy.[3][4] Her performance as a responsible mother and a caring friend fetched her a nomination as the Best Female Debut at the 8th Gaumee Film Awards ceremony.[5]

In 2017, Noora featured in the Ali Shifau-directed romantic comedy Mee Loaybakee alongside Mohamed Jumayyil and Mariyam Azza.[6] The film, which is considered to include the largest cast in a Maldivian feature film, narrates the story of two ex-lovers sliding into the friend zone with the envy and diffidence they experience amidst a convoluted love-triangle.[7] The film and her performance received mainly positive reviews from critics where Aishath Maaha of Avas called her acting to be "good overall".[7] The film emerged as one of the highest grossing Maldivian films of 2017.[8]
