Pakistani actress of the yester-years, Noor Bukhari has been living quite the hushed life as of late. The actress who twinkled Lollywood in the early 00’s with films like ‘Billi,’ ‘Tere Pyar Mein,’ and ‘Zill-e-Shah’ recently took to a television morning show and debuted her hijab.

Noor took to Instagram to debut her hijab with the hashtag #lovemyself

The actress was seen in a turquoise sequinned dupatta and ghagara

Before officially declaring her adoption of the hijab, the actress posted a few pictures on social media with a dupatta loosely around her head, like this black one

Or sporting a white one here, captioned “Simplicity is better than all the fake glamour of the world”

The post was welcomed with overwhelming love and support by Pakistanis

With many MashAllahs sweeping in

And lauding her newfound beauty

With many complimenting the actress

And flattering how pretty she looked with a hijab

Others couldn’t contain their excitement, and instead poured out their admiration in emojis

With a few sealing their stamp of approval

And others who missed seeing her face on television

The actress’s hijab spurred a few proposals (just a tad bit direct we say)

And what’s social media without the really odd comment here and there…

What are your thoughts on Noor Bukhari embracing the hijab?
