Early life and education

Khatira was raised in the USA by her parents who were both born in Afghanistan, and who came to the US when Khatira’s mother was pregnant carrying her. Her parents worked most of the time while she was growing up, her mother at a local supermarket while her father was a construction worker.

Khatira became interested in acting and modelling after enrolling at elementary school, as most of her peers were interested in the same thing. She started playing sports once enrolling at high school, such as volleyball and lacrosse and she also joined her school’s drama club appearing in several plays before matriculation. She decided not to enroll at college, but to find a job to financially support herself and help her parents.

Career as an actress

It appears as Khatira’s acting career was launched in 2009, but ended in the same year after she appeared in two films.

She made her debut film appearance in the short action drama film “Layla”, which lasts 35 minutes and starred Marie Therese Abou-Daoud, Jawad Asephi and Jasmine Bissete. Khatira portrayed Zola in this film, which talks about a father living in Afghanistan and his daughter living in Los Angeles as they start smuggling drugs. Layla, the lead character in the film, betrays her boss in Los Angeles, and things start getting dangerous for both her and her father.

Her second role was in the horror movie “Chain Letter”, which starred Nikki Reed, Keith David and Brad Dourif, and which was directed and written by Deon Taylor – Khatira portrayed Mrs. Garrett who is a consultant.
