Career

In 2010, Afeefa was featured in Abdul Fahtah's horror film Jinni alongside Ali Seezan.[1] Based on true incidents that occurred in an island of Maldives, she played the role of Thahumeena, a simple-going girl who romantically link ups with a visitor and a ghost who seduce the same person in the shape of Thahumeena. Prior to release the film was marketed to be "full of suspense" and "unique" compared to other mediocre Maldivian horror films. Upon release, the film received mixed reviews from critics; majority of them complaining for having the "same old feeling" of prior horror flicks though the performance were noted to be satisfactory. Despite the mixed reviews, the film witnessed a positive response at the box office, screening a total of twenty two housefull shows in Male', declaring it as a Mega-Hit.[2] At the Enchanteur Maldives Film Awards 2012, Afeefa received a nomination for the Best Actress category.[3]

Her first release of 2011, was Mohamed Aboobakuru's critical and commercial failure Hiyy Vindhaa Nulaa, where her role in the film was regarded and "unnecessary" and "meaningless". It was followed by her playing the role of Sherin, the gluttonous wife who is after her husband's wealth, in the Moomin Fuad-directed crime tragedy drama Loodhifa.[4] Featuring an ensemble cast, the film deals with current social issues in the society told from different perspectives of the characters.[5] Made on a budget of MVR 600,000, the film was declared a commercial failure though it received wide critical acclaim, praising the performance of cast and the film's "realism" in its language, characters and their attitude.[4] At the 7th Gaumee Film Awards she was bestowed with her second Gaumee Film Award for Best Actress.[6] She also received a nomination in the same category at the 2nd Maldives Film Awards ceremony.[3]
