Biographie

Kazim was born in Lahore, Punjab, Pakistan, with an elder sister and a younger brother. Her uncle, Raza Kazim, is a renowned lawyer and supporter of the arts.

Her parents separated when she was a year old. Her father, Syed Abbas Kazim, let her work as a child model because "he looked upon it as something cute", she says, even though her family considered acting—her ambition from an early age—to be too lowly a field for a girl of her station. Her father was conservative in his ideas about women, and her mother, Ghazala Saigol, was more modern.

She attended Kinnaird College and the King's College, Canada, where she received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Media. She also holds a Cisco Certified Network Associate certification.

In December 2004, Kazim returned from Canada to Pakistan, when she married with Adnan Ghafoor, she met him while attending a friend's wedding. After just over a year of marriage, during which Ahmed beat her, she left him, taking their two-month-old son with her. The father is not involved in her son's upbringing; she says this was a mutual decision, influenced by her experiences as the child of divorced parents. She married Feisal H Naqvi on 27 June 2013.

Kazim is fluent in both Urdu and English.
