Bahareh Afshari (Persian: بهاره افشاری; born July 5, 1984) is an Iranian actress. She is best known for her role in She Was an Angel (2005). She earned a Hafez Award nomination for her performance in Distances (2010).

Early life and career

Before becoming an actress, Bahareh Afshari worked in editing and painting. She was originally a professional fashion designer, with her own boutique and a client list that included numerous actors. In 2004, Chelcheragh magazine even named her the youngest fashion designer in Iran during an interview.

Four months later, Afshari stepped into the world of acting but chose to proceed cautiously, turning down roles that didn’t align with her goals. Years earlier, she had made her first appearance in a television series, an experience she found unsatisfactory, which led her to consider leaving acting altogether. However, after some time, director Kianoush Ayari persuaded her to join the cast of Roozegare Gharib, a biographical series about Dr. Mohammad Gharib. In this series, Afshari portrayed two different roles, and Ayari later introduced her for a part in She Was an Angel.

Currently, Bahareh Afshari co-manages a design company with her only brother, where she leads the fashion design department.
