Why Anoushey Ashraf is the perfect face for Women’s Day in Pakistan each year?

Anoushey Ashraf graced the cover of Applause Pakistan’s Women’s Day Edition and let us tell you all why we think she is the perfect face for this year’s Women’s Day and the coming ones too. For starters, Anoushey is not just a household name in Pakistan’s media landscape—she is the name that defines the rise of modern Pakistani television and radio. Since 2002, she has held the spotlight as the most iconic host, with unmatched grace, intellect, and passion. Whether on TV, radio, or hosting major events, she continues to set the bar for what it means to be a true professional in the industry.

Her voice has been one of the most consistent and vocal in an industry that often calls for selective activism. While many celebrities choose to speak up only when it benefits their image or is trending, Anoushey has always used her platform to engage with her fans on meaningful issues, from social justice to animal rights. As an ambassador for WWF-Pakistan, she’s fiercely advocated for animal welfare. With numerous pets of her own, her compassion shines through both on and off screen.

At 40, Anoushey is about to embark on a new chapter of her life as she prepares for her wedding—something she believes should happen naturally and at the right time. She has always expressed that marriage should never be seen as a necessity or a life-defining milestone for a woman. Anoushey Ashraf is the last of her league—a well-spoken, well-read, and well-educated icon who continues to inspire, entertain, and engage audiences across Pakistan and beyond.
