They’re new to the Bravo scene, so let’s meet The Valley: Persian Style’s Sky and Bamshad
There are 20 years between them
If you’ve been waiting for your next Bravo couple to obsess over, The Valley: Persian Style is serving, and Sky and Bamshad are exactly the kind of ‘wait, I need to know everything about them’ duo that keeps group chats alive.
They’re stepping into a friend group that already includes familiar Shahs of Sunset energy, but Sky and Bamshad bring their own mix: big personality, real-life stakes, and that very specific Valley chaos where the lawns are manicured… and the grudges are not.

Sky Asakari walks into The Valley: Persian Style with main-character composure and the kind of no-nonsense vibe that can either keep a friend group together or completely combust it.
Bravo’s official bio paints her as the structured half of her relationship, balancing Bamshad’s playful energy, with a 20-year age gap and ten-year-old twins in the mix.
Off-camera, Sky’s also a jewellery designer and the founder of Sky Askari fine jewellery, very on-brand for a show that lives at the intersection of culture, luxury, and “we’re just going to a casual dinner” outfits that cost more than rent.
Her brand’s “About Us” page frames her work as art-forward, rooted in confidence and empowerment, and influenced by her background and experiences living/studying in Europe and the US.
But let’s be honest… Bravo doesn’t cast you for being chill. In the series trailer, Sky is already positioned in a brewing feud, especially when she starts venting about not liking life in the Valley, and Golnesa “GG” Gharachedaghi very memorably clocks it.
Who is Bamshad Akhbari?
Bamshad Akhbari is Sky’s partner, and if Sky is the clipboard, Bamshad is the confetti cannon.
Bravo describes him as the playful counterweight in their relationship, with their differences, including that 20-year age gap, creating both chemistry and friction.
Professionally, Bamshad is tied to Halifax Construction and Development in Los Angeles.
BuildZoom lists him as the sole owner and employee connected to the company and notes it holds a California General Building license, plus details on the firm’s design-build and remodelling focus.
If you’re wondering what that translates to in Bravo terms… yes, this is absolutely a couple that can argue about floor plans and feelings in the same sentence.
On the reality TV show, their tension is described as more than just “normal couple stuff”
Apparently, they’re at odds “physically and emotionally” per Bravo, and unresolved grudges (including with friends) are blocking them from moving forward. So while Bamshad may be the lighter energy in the relationship, he’s not here to float through conflict untouched.
