Elnaz Habibi (Persian: الناز حبیبی; born August 12, 1988) is an Iranian Actor. She has a degree in film editing.[1][2]

Early life

Elnaz Habibi was born on 12 August 1988 in Tehran, Iran and is the youngest of six siblings. Her mother passed away before Habibi enrolled in university, which led to a four-year hiatus from both her studies and professional work.[3][4] She is a graduate of film editing.[5] Her family resides in Sweden, but in 2014, Habibi stated that she had never traveled to Sweden.[3][6]

Habibi began her acting career at the age of 11, when she was selected to perform in the film Daftarcheh Khaterat (Notebook of Memories), directed by Saeid Soltani, through the Center for the Intellectual Development of Children and Young Adults while she was in the fifth grade. She has noted that she entered the acting profession with her father's approval.[7][8]

Protest Against Mandatory Hijab

Elnaz Habibi was banned from appearing on Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB) programs in October 2021 (Mehr 1400) after posting images without the mandatory hijab on Instagram. Prior to the official announcement of the ban, Habibi appeared as a guest on IRIB's television program *Pishgoo*, but her image was completely censored, and only her voice was broadcast.[9][10] This action aligns with IRIB's strict policies on enforcing mandatory hijab laws and imposing cultural restrictions on artists.[11][12]

The ban was imposed after Habibi, alongside other Iranian female artists, protested mandatory hijab laws by sharing images without a headscarf on social media.[13] This act was part of a broader wave of protests against mandatory hijab regulations, which gained significant momentum following the "Woman, Life, Freedom" movement in 2022. Through her actions, Habibi expressed support for the movement, becoming a notable figure in these protests.[14][15]
