Shabnam Masood

'Shabnam Masood' (played by Zahra Ahmadi) is the daughter of Zainab Masood and Masood Ahmed, she is also the sister of Tamwar Masood and Syed Masood.

Shabnam Masood arrived in Walford on the 17th July 2007, with her parents and younger brother and moved into 41 Albert Square. Shabnam appeared as a University Graduate, but didn't know what to do next. Unsure of what to do, she made secret plans to leave Walford, but didn't go due to her parents fiancial troubles. During the lack of future plans and the befriending of Dawn Swann angered her mother and this caused Zainab not to like Shabnam much.

In March 2008, Zainab set up Shabnam with batchelor, Jalil Iqbal. Shabnam was shocked when she found that he was atractive and they kissed. After saying that Shabnam was not marriage material and Zainab pushed him away, warning him to stay away.

After Zainab caught Shabnam poledancing in a club, they argued about this and Zainab was shamed of Shabnam, thinking that she was embracing British culture and not her traditional muslim culture. After she realised this woman was her mother, Shabnam moved to Karachi in October 2008 and she had her parents blessing.
