When Nadia Buari stepped foot at the glamorous University of Ghana a few years ago, little did people know she would be an instant hit and super movie star of domestic and international repute. Her calm physique and model-like gestures in movies and auriferous silky voice could be recognized by many people from slumber.
EARLY LIFE OF OUR STAR:
Nadia Buari is a Ghanaian actress born on 21st November 1982, in Takoradi, Western Region, to an equally great ALHAJI SIDIKU BUARI of MUSIGA and SID theatre fame (an accomplished musician) and Hajia, a beautician. Her father's achievements as an accomplished producer, director, musician, actor, and a heavy-weight in entertainment politics in Ghana and beyond have influenced her right from elementary school days when she was a member of the drama and dance groups.
She studied PERFORMING ARTS at University of Ghana and now holds a BFA degree in Fine Arts. Her mother's profession has been streamlining her outlooks since her infancy.
ACHIEVEMENTS
She premiered in the Ghanaian TV series, GAME PEOPLE PLAY in late 2005. In 2006, together with VAN VICKER and JACKIE APPIAH, she acted as ANITA in MUMMY's DAUGHTER. Still in 2006, she acted
Beyonce in the movie, Beyonce: the President's daughter. Her sterling performance endeared her to many a fan across the face of Ghana and Africa and beyond. Her motivation in life ( or to say in her fast rise in the movie industry) is self-motivation and sticking to good AFRICAN morals and having the opportunity to educate people in different spheres of life through movies. She also starred in DARKNESS OF SORROW and RETURN OF BEYONCE. In 2007, she starred in IN THE EYES OF MY HUSBAND, SLAVE TO LUST. In 2008, she starred in AGONY OF THE CHRIST, BEAUTY AND THE BEAST, BEYONCE AND RIHANNA, HIDDEN TREASURE, TOMORROW MUST WAIT, WICKED INTENTIONS. In 2009, she has starred in LOVE, LIES AND MURDER, MY LAST AMBITION. Other movies she has starred in are ROYAL SCANDAL, LOVERS CREEK, DANGEROUS MISSION, SPANISH GUITAR, TRUE COLOURS, MY SISTER'S HUSBAND. The list goes on and on.

D. CONTRACTS OF NOTE
Since, being shot in limelight from 2006, Nadia has starred in many Ghanaian and Nigerian movies. For Ghana, she has appeared in most movies of VENUS FILMS. For Nigeria, the movie production companies are many.
Recently, according to the dad of NADIA, she has signed a 2 months contract to shoot a movie in USA, that explains why she could not make it to the ENGAGEMENT CEREMONY of her sister, SHAIDA, the 2002 Miss Ghana, beauty pageant.
PRIVATE LIFE
The ever glamorous silver screen superstar has allegedly been in relationship with sports super-star, MICHAEL ESSIEN of CHELSEA fame, and just recently, DEDE AYEW. Irrespective of the veracity or otherwise of it, I think I would respect her notion she wouldn't talk about her privacy.
