By 2025, she will be in her early 50s, which is proof of a career that has seen out many years.

Tazeen’s journey started as a child artist, which included theater productions and TV dramas, which in turn formed the base for what was to come in her professional life.
After the 90s, which saw her in works like the telefilm Raqeeb and the serial Shahpar, she took a break from acting to devote herself to her family and education. At the time, she earned a Bachelor’s degree in Communication Design from the Indus Valley School of Art and Architecture (IVS) and a Master’s degree in New Media and Society from the University of Leicester, UK. This was a great phase that saw her transition into the role of an educator and thought leader in her field.

In terms of her academic and acting career, she’s at the top of her game in both. Also a very well-regarded academic, who is perhaps less known to the public, she has held at Associate Professor and Head of the Department of Communication Design at top-level institutions like the Indus Valley School of Art and Architecture.

, which saw her out of the public eye since the death of her first husband, Zahid Hussain, in 2020. That which was a journey of personal growth, revival of her career, and finding happiness again has very much resonated with her fans and colleagues.
