LAHORE: After Meera, its now the turn of a Pakistani model to star in a Bollywood flick.

Mehreen Syed, a fashion model, who was recently crowned 'International Model of the Year' at a competition held here, has been reportedly signed up by filmmaker Shashi Ranjan to star in an Indian flick.

Mehreen, who recently returned from India, said that she had met the director-producer and agreed to work on a couple of projects with him, which include a movie and a song video.

"I have agreed to work on a couple of projects with him. These include a movie and a song video," she was quoted as saying.

Mehreen, won the 'International Model of the Year Award' last month in a competition contested by models from India, Germany, Greece, Cyprus, Hungry, Philippines, Romania, Italy, Australia, Belgium, South Africa, Kenya and Bulgaria, reports the Daily Times.

"It is a great honour to be crowned. I think it was my confident catwalk that swayed the judges. I am the first Pakistani model to have appeared on the title of popular Middle East fashion magazine Alamra. I have also walked the ramp in London, Dubai and Muscat," she added.

The famed (notorious) television presenter Nadia Khan of PTV’s Bandhan fame, has her own very successful and wildly popular television talk show on GEO TV. Called the Nadia Khan Show, the gig has featured celebrities ranging from successful Pakistani girls to cricketers and Bollywood stars. Recently, a Pakistani cricketer denied reports of his alleged marriage to an Indian girl by appearing on the show.

Nadia Khan first appeared in the popular television serial called Bandhan, playing a distraught wife who demands a divorce from her Pakistani husband. However, the show has a happy ending. The show might have been meant as an inspiration or social lesson to married Pakistani girls who are not on the best of terms with their inlaws or husbands. Pakistani girls are often pressurised to give into inlaws demands, and thereby divorce rates are lower than in the West. However, Nadia Khan sought to demonstrate that husbands can also support their wives, thereby leading to a better life.

“Today, Nadia Khan is one of the cultural icons of Pakistan,” says Sania Azad of Sukkur. “The girls of Pakistan are defintely rallying around her. She has a very wide feminine appeal…almost feminist!”

Such costumes are often seen on the 14th of August or the 23rd of March on Independence Day celebrations in Pakistan. The application of face paint indicates that they are dressed up as either Pakhtun or Baluchi women, while the girl on the left is from the eastern Indus Valley region of Sindh or Punjab.

A very glamorous perspective on load shedding (electricity cuts) in Pakistan. A model was preparing for a photoshoot, and the lights went out at the crucial moment. Very interesting shot indeed! Notice the glow of the candlelight
