She is beautiful, talented and in the words of the bard, ‘age cannot wither her nor custom stale her infinite variety’. Yes, the reference is to the ageless, timeless Pakistani woman of substance Mahnoor Baloch.

The actress is now an internationally known celebrity courtesy her first Hollywood project, Torn, by director Jeremiah Birnbaum. She plays the (major) role of the mother of a teenager who gets killed in a bomb explosion. Her co-actors include Faran Tahir (another Pakistani who is now an established Hollywood actor), Dendrie Taylor and John Heard.

Torn’s teaser has hit the social media websites like a bombshell and is being raved about big time. Mahnoor B is not only looking ultra gorgeous in it but seems to have acted quite impressively in the film. Doubly delightful!
