Washiya Mohamed is a Maldivian film actress.

Early life[]

After completing nursey education at Maafannu Madharusa, Mohamed joined Ghiyasuddin International School, where she took part in several stage dramas which accelerated her interest in working in the film industry.[1] While studying in grade 6, she performed the role of a male sorcerer in one of such stage shows, which she credited as an "eye-opening performance" for her with regard to "method acting".[1] She continued performing several other theatrical stage shows while pursuing high school education in MAPS International High.[1]

Career[]

Mohamed made her career debut by playing one of the main roles in Mohamed Munthasir's sitcom web series, Thin Bibee (2019).[1] When initially offered the project by her friend, Nathasha Jaleel who co-stars in the series, she rejected the role citing "lack of confidence" to work on-screen.[1] However, she was re-offered the role by Munthasir while she was shooting for an advertisement, and she agrees to "give it a try" for a start.[1] The series was released through a newly launched digital streaming platform Baiskoafu and the feedback to the series was minimal.[1] She next hosted VTV's The Baiskoafu Show alongside Ahmed Iqbal, who, impressed by her skill, developed a new character, Pink, non-existent in his novel and offered to play the role in Ravee Farooq-directed web series Ehenas which "exposed her acting ability".[2] Following the experiences of a long-term domestic and sexually abused male victim and how he faces the societal obstacles of marriage, Mohamed played the role of an independent woman and a supportive friend, which was well received by critics.[3][4]

Apart from playing a small role in Moomin Fuad's period drama web television series Gamini, she was a part of the ensemble cast of Yoosuf Shafeeu's romantic comedy web-series Huvaa Kohfa Bunan, where she played the sister of a politician and a domestically abused girlfriend.[5][6] The following year, she starred in Moomin Fuad's crime drama short film Feehaali, where her rebellious character and the film got positive reviews from critics.[7]
