She has a Lebanese father and a Ghanaian mother. Hajia Buari, her mother, has been an instrumental figure in her upbringing encouraging her love for arts from an early age. At a young age, however, she never shied away from the idea of show business, particularly dancing and acting.
Nadia attended to Mfantsiman Girls Secondary School
located in Ghana’s Central Region before going to pursue further studies at the
University of Ghana where she was awarded a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in the
year 2003. However, during that time, the love for the dramatic art endowed in
her was so deep that she began to involve herself in Dubin. It was at that
juncture that the industry knew her for the extraordinary skills she possessed
in acting.
The Dawn of Nollywood for Nadia Buari
True to her zeal and commitment, the incorporation of Nadia in the movie or film industry was not going to be an option but a must.

called “Mummy’s Daughter” and which significantly propelled Nadia’s career in
the film industry. She was able to display her skills in this film, which
enabled her to reach out to a larger audience in Africa. Nonetheless, her career
took a hasty flourish mainly after she acted in Nollywood, the ever-thriving Nigerian film industry. In Nigeria, Nadia started her journey towards fame when
she appeared in the popular series, “Beyoncé: The President’s Daughter” in 2006
alongside Jim Iyke who acted in the role of her husband. Her versatile

were rumored to be dating Nadia, including another actor Jim Iyke with whom she
worked in the movie also titled ‘Beyonce & Rihanna’. The pair were always
spotted together in public and had remarkable onscreen chemistry in non-romantic roles and hence the speculations of them being in a relationship. To
clarify this relationship however, remains unverified until today as they have
long gone separate ways.
The year two thousand and fifteen became a turning point
for Nadia when it came to media outlets revealing that she had already welcomed
a set of twins. For the most part, this man remained nameless for several years
which led to a lot of media outcry to find out who he was. Up to this day,
Nadia has been able to shun the media concerning any information on two alleged
children and their father. In the end, however, it came out that Nadia was
already taken, marrying a still unnamed person. In interview, she has given
the impression that she wishes her private life to be separate from her public
life, caring for her kids and family in a quiet and peaceful way.
Nonetheless, every now and then she gives out some
highlights of her family life to her followers on the internet, usually
accompanied by heart-touching pictures of her cute little twins and mum’s
