For her big dream, Yasmeena Ali was not only disowned by her family, her father had even hired a hitman to kill his daughter. The reason for her relatives’ behaviour is the Afghan’s permissive profession, because Ali is a porn actress – and an extremely successful one at that!
On the platform Pornhub, her sex videos have already been viewed more than nine million times. She even calls herself Afghanistan’s top porn star! But the road to get there was hard and difficult and the 28-year-old had to pay a high price for her success.
“If I left Islam, my father threatened to kill me because I disrespected Islam, Afghan culture and the honour of the family,” Ali tells the New York Post in an interview. But the 28-year-old took the plunge into the porn business and really flourished there.
For years, Yasmeena Ali had lived in Kabul under Taliban rule, and in 2000 her family finally emigrated to Great Britain. But the 28-year-old was not happy there either! According to the newspaper BILD, her life in England was dominated by constraints, the strict religious beliefs of her family almost “suffocated” her.
One day she made a daring decision: escape! The young Afghan wanted to flee her family and the constraints and decided to go to Eastern Europe together with her boyfriend David Cohen. The Jewish erotic photographer and Ali are now happily married and have found a new home in Slovakia.
But her father, Mohammed Patman, and her cousin, Darya Khan Safi, did not want to accept Yasmeena Ali’s new life and profession. Together they flew to Slovakia and searched for the young woman – intending to have her killed by a killer.
“Mr Patman and Mr Safi are believed to have taken steps to murder Ms Cohen (note the civil surname of Yasmeena Ali) because they believed she had shamed her family by her choice of husband, by converting from Islam to Judaism and by her choice of profession,” the Bild newspaper quotes a court statement in possession of the Daily Mail.
In addition, the hitman also came clean in court and said that he had been offered 70,000 US dollars to kill Ali. Yasmeena’s father and cousin were arrested by the police and now have to answer for it in court.
“My parents always instilled fear in me – God, hell, punishments,” the 28-year-old tells the New York Post. She has since cut off all contact with her family and relatives. She does not regret her step into the adult industry. On the contrary!
“At the end of the day, it’s my life and I don’t care how people react to my career. I follow my heart and do what I want because it is my life, my body and my right,” Yasmeena Ali states unequivocally.
