Khatira Rafiqzada’s Biography

Khatira Rafiqzada was born in the United States on January 8, 1981, to parents of Asian ancestry. Although we know too little about her childhood, early education, siblings, parents or what they do for a living, we, however, know that she comes from a conservative Shia Muslim background and her parents are Iranian immigrants.

Before venturing into acting, Rafiqzada has reportedly tried her hands on several jobs including waiting tables or working at the back end of a number of restaurants in both Los Angeles and New York. However, it all changed in 2009 after she appeared in the lead role as Zola in the short TV film, Layla. Her incredible performance in Layla landed her another role in the same year.

It was her first big opportunity as she starred alongside other established names like Nikki Reed (as Jessica “Jessie” Campbell), Cody Kasch (as Neil Conners) and Keith David (as Detective Jim Crenshaw). However, Chain Letter wasn’t the success it was expected to be; as it only grossed a meager $585,362 in the box office. Compared to it’s production budget of $3 million.
