## Early life and debut
Aly was born in Lahore, Punjab, Pakistan, to Syed Ali and Rahat Ali, and is the younger sister of the actress Sajal Aly[2](https://sixscreen.com/celebs/saboor-aly). She briefly attended Punjab University before leaving her studies to pursue acting[9](https://www.famousbirthdays.com/people/saboor-aly.html).
Her career began in 2011. She appeared in a small role in *Choti Si Kahani*, then that same year featured with her sister Sajal in the [ARY Digital](https://www.edgepedia.org/ary-digital) family drama *Mehmoodabad Ki Malkain*, playing Rimsha across 326 episodes[4](https://elcinema.com/en/person/2151418) • [1](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm6711583/). In later interviews she named Rimsha as the character that resonated most with her personally[10](https://magtheweekly.com/detail/8382-saboor-aly-a-promising-star).
## Television career
Comedy and supporting roles. Aly gained recognition with a comic role as Rosie in the 2015 sitcom *Mr. Shamim*[9](https://www.famousbirthdays.com/people/saboor-aly.html), and continued in supporting roles through the late 2010s, including *Teri Meri Kahani*, *Visaal* (2018), and *Bhool* and *Gul-o-Gulzar* (2019)[5](https://wegreenkw.com/entertainment/saboor-aly/) • [4](https://elcinema.com/en/person/2151418). She took the lead role of Gul Chaudhary in *Gul-o-Gulzar* opposite Kinza Hashmi and Omer Shahzad[9](https://www.famousbirthdays.com/people/saboor-aly.html). Her most prominent negative roles were Gul in *Gul-o-Gulzar* and Fariya in *Fitrat*[11](https://www.grazia.pk/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Grazia-Pakistan-Issue66.pdf).
She played leading roles in *Mere Khudaya* (2018) and *Fitrat* (2020–2021, 91 episodes)[5](https://wegreenkw.com/entertainment/saboor-aly/) • [1](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm6711583/). The 2022 serial *Mushkil*, in which she played Sameen across 48 episodes, drew continued praise for her performance alongside co-star Khushhal Khan as the series ended[1](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm6711583/) • [12](https://ur.desiblitz.com/content/saboor-aly-details-her-experience-of-shooting-mushkil).
**Parizaad and Bubbly.** In the [Hum TV](https://www.edgepedia.org/hum-tv) series *Parizaad* (2021), written by Hashim Nadeem and directed by Shehzad Kashmiri, Aly played Saima, known as Bubbly, introduced in episode 4 as a rebellious tomboy whose parents, having wanted a son, raised her like a boy[6](https://galaxylollywood.com/2021/08/30/saboor-aly-on-her-character-bubbly-in-parizaad/) • [1](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm6711583/). The character was created for the show and does not appear in the novel on which the series is based[6](https://galaxylollywood.com/2021/08/30/saboor-aly-on-her-character-bubbly-in-parizaad/). Aly later said Bubbly's story felt too short and had depth enough to carry her own drama; the role earned her the Hum Award for Best Supporting Actress in 2022[6](https://galaxylollywood.com/2021/08/30/saboor-aly-on-her-character-bubbly-in-parizaad/) • [2](https://sixscreen.com/celebs/saboor-aly).
Later work includes the 2023 mini-series *Sar-e-Rah* as Rameen, the 2024 series *Bayhadh* as Jugnu, and the 2025 mini-series *Doosra Chehra* as Komal[1](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm6711583/).
## Film
Aly's film debut came in 2016 with *Actor in Law*, a socio-comedy directed by Nabeel Qureshi, in which she played [Fahad Mustafa](https://www.edgepedia.org/fahad-mustafa)'s supportive sister opposite a cast that included [Mehwish Hayat](https://www.edgepedia.org/mehwish-hayat) and the late [Om Puri](https://www.edgepedia.org/om-puri)[5](https://wegreenkw.com/entertainment/saboor-aly/). The performance brought her a nomination for Best Supporting Actress at the Lux Style Awards[5](https://wegreenkw.com/entertainment/saboor-aly/). In a 2018 interview she said that having worked in both mediums she would choose dramas over films[13](https://tribune.com.pk/story/1720990/choose-dramas-films-saboor-aly?amp=1).
## Faaslay and recent work
After welcoming her daughter Serena in March 2025, Aly returned to acting with *Faaslay*, which premiered on Green TV Entertainment on 5 December 2025[3](https://jang.com.pk/en/56795-saboor-aly-celebrates-fourth-wedding-anniversary-with-heartfelt-video-news).

Her mother died of cancer in 2017, days after Aly had performed Umrah with her family[5](https://wegreenkw.com/entertainment/saboor-aly/).
