In an interview to Harper's Bazaar Arabia, Noor speaks about the joy of being on stage and performing in front of an audience. She says since the age of six she has been on film sets, and she has been in love ever since. In the conversation, she mentions that growing up she looked up to Anne Hathaway and Angelina Jolie.

In March 2022, Taher revealed through her Instagram page that she had dealt with epilepsy caused by a sudden seizure. She underwent brain surgery and was hospitalized for six days.
