Nuzuhath Shuaib (born 14 September 1988) is a Maldivian film actress.

Early life[]

Nuzuhath Shuaib was born on 14 September 1988 in N. Manadhoo.[1] She was working at Jelly Pizza when her friend, a film actor Ali Azim introduced her to the team of Malikaa.[1] Impressed with the brief meeting, she was roped in to play the title character in the film.[1]

Career[]

Nuzuhath Shuaib made her film debut with Ali Musthafa-directed family drama Malikaa playing the titular role, Malikaa, a sidelined daughter who has been underappreciated for her doings while she manages to execute the whole responsibilities of the family.[2] Featuring Ismail Zahir, Mohamed Jumayyil, Fathimath Azifa, Ahmed Asim, Ali Azim and Neena Saleem in prominent roles, the film met with mixed response from critics.[3] Ahmed Nadheem, reviewing for Avas opined that "Shuaib's strong performance was an unforeseen circumstance in the film since such an acting was not predicted to be seen from her debut".[4] Despite low expectations from trade analysts, the film performed moderately at the box office.[5][6] She next featured alongside an ensemble cast including Yoosuf Shafeeu, Mohamed Manik, Ahmed Saeed and Ali Seezan in the comedy film Naughty 40 (2017) which was directed by Shafeeu.[7] The film revolves around three friends, Ashwanee, Ahsan and Ajwad (Played by Shafeeu, Saeed and Manik respectively) who are single and having a youthful outlook, in spite of being in their forties.[7] Aishath Maaha from Avas found her to be "good" and predicted her to "have a colorful career with meaty roles". The film met with both critical and commercial success, emerging as one of the highest grossing Maldivian films of the year.[8][5] This followed with an item number in Abdul Fatthah's romantic drama Hahdhu (2017); a remixed version of the iconic song "Giritee Loabin".[9]

In 2018, Shuaib was featured opposite Mohamed Jumayyil and Mariyam Majudha in Ali Shifau's family drama Vakin Loabin (2018).[10] The film tells a story of a young couple’s divorce and its impact on everyone involved.[11] Upon release, the film met with positive response from critics—specifically praising the screenplay for toning down its melodrama and breaking from the stereotypes of its genre—and was a commercial success.[12] In a pre-premier review from Raajje.mv, Ismail Naail Nasheed favored the character development and minimised use of melodrama in the film while praising Nuzuhath Shuaibs's performance throughout the movie: "From acting to delivering the dialogues, she has mastered the art of expression to the like of any experienced actors. Her psychotic micro-expressions steal the limelight of this movie while proving that Shuaib perfectly delivered her character to the fullest".[12]

In 2018, Mohamed was ranked in the tenth position from Dho?'s list of Top Ten Actresses of Maldives where writer Aishath Maaha opined that Mohamed is a "promising" actress who has left a big impact with her limited projects.[13]
