Aahoo Jahansouzshahi, an Iranian-American former model, plays Sarah Shahi on television.
After hearing a song by the Irish rock band Thin Lizzy, Aahoo changed her name to “Sarah”. She played Kate Reed in the American legal drama Fairly Legal, Sameen Shaw in the CBS crime drama, and Carmen on The L Word in 2005.
After completing her undergraduate studies at Trinity High School in Texas, the American actress enrolled at Southern Methodist University in University Park, Texas. She studied opera while majoring in English.
When serving as an extra on the Dr. T and the Women set, Shahi first met filmmaker Robert Altman. He convinced her to move to Hollywood, where she quickly started to get roles in various television and film productions.
Meet Sarah Shahi Father And Mother
Sarah Shahi’s parents are interior designer Mahmonir Soroushazar and architect Abbas Jahansouz Shahi. They parted ways when she was 10 years old. She is a great-great-granddaughter of Fath Ali Shah, a nineteenth-century Iranian Shah.
Her father is Iranian and has Persian descent. Her father’s family left Iran just two years before the Iranian Revolution. When working at the US embassy in Iran, her father was set to be hanged when the last Shah’s regime fell in 1979, but he was able to depart the country.
She and her mother, who had a Spanish mother and an Iranian father, were both born in Spain. Samantha Shahi, her younger sister, and Cyprus Shahi, her older brother, are both production assistants. Sarah and her siblings were raised in a caring, supportive environment thanks to their parents.
Expoloring Sarah Shahi Ethnicity And Religion
The American actress identifies as a Muslim and follows the religion. She is currently 43 years old and was born in Euless, Texas, on January 10, 1980.
Sarah is a mixed-race person due to the multicultural family she was raised in. Her father is Persian and her mother is Spanish, thus she comes from two different family origins.
In an intriguing post titled “My DNA Is Tingling,” Sarah revealed a big deal of sensitive material. Her parents had migrated to Texas before she was born, thus it was difficult for her to reconcile her nationality with her identity as an Iranian American.
She was worried that everyone would see her negatively or dislike her because Iran typically presents itself in a hostile manner. She was never able to fully and authentically experience her ethnicity.
Details On Sarah Shahi Family
Sarah married actor Steve Howey in Las Vegas on February 7, 2009. Five months into their marriage, in July 2009, she gave birth to William Wolf Howey, their first child, in a water birth at home.
In January 2015, she made the news of her twin pregnancies public. Knox Blue and Violet Moon, the couple’s twins, were born in March. Twins Knox Blue and Violet Moon, who are two hours apart, were born at Shahi’s Sherman Oaks, California, home.
Although they are all beautiful infants, it’s difficult because we are a large family and really close-knit. Howey adds. But, the couple’s marriage was unable to be saved, and they were forced to file for divorce.
Although the initial application for the divorce was lodged in May 2020, it was ultimately approved in January 2021. She is currently dating Australian actor Adam Demos. They fell in love after meeting on the Netflix series S*x/life, which is set in 2020.
