Mira Sethi (born 12 January 1987[1]) is a Pakistani actress, model, and writer.[2][3] The daughter of journalists Najam Sethi and Jugnu Mohsin, she attended Lahore Grammar School and Cheltenham Ladies' College then graduated from Wellesley College in 2010; she spent her junior year abroad at Oxford University.[1] At Wellesley, she studied English and South Asian studies, and, at her 2010 graduation, was the student commencement speaker.[1] Sethi was a Robert L. Bartley fellow and an assistant book editor at The Wall Street Journal [4] and also contributed in political commentary for the newspaper, particularly on the subject of Pakistan.[4][5] Her career at the Journal lasted about two and a half years.[6]

In 2011, Sethi returned to Pakistan to pursue an acting career.[7] Her first role was playing Natasha in the ARY Digital serial drama Silvatein. She followed it with Mohabat Subh Ka Sitara Hai, which aired on Hum TV. Sethi continues to write both fiction and journalism. Her collection of short stories is expected to be published by Knopf and Bloomsbury in 2018.[8]

Correcting Mira Sethi's occupation edit


  • What I think should be changed: Change "Mira Sethi is a Pakistani actress, model, and writer" to "Mira Sethi is a Pakistani actor and writer."
  • Why it should be changed: Factually incorrect -- I am not a model.
  • References supporting the possible change (format using the "cite" button): Official Penguin Random House author biography [1]

  Done. I cited PRH's biography directly instead of the snippet. SWinxy (talk) 02:24, 7 December 2021 (UTC)Reply
