Here she just gave such an exclusive rapid fire interview to express her thoughts, so for the full ride, here you go!
- What do you value most of it: Love, appreciation or money?
Appreciation I think. But money is definitely a close second. - Coffee or tea?
Always tea! - Favorite city for vacations?
Italy is one of my favorite places to visit for a holiday. Anywhere in Italy and I’m blissfully happy. - Favorite flowers?
I love Lilies. My mom used to grow what are commonly called Easter Lilies and I have such a happy association with them. To this day, I break into a smile whenever I see them. - Like to wear jeans or cotton pants in summers?
Definitely cotton/ linen. - Your inspiration?
I’m generally inspired by strong, independent women. There are so many in my life. My mom for one. Some of my childhood friends…The list goes on…. - Which sunscreen or moisturizer usually?
Cellex-C for a sunscreen. Creme De La Mer for moisturizer. - Designer you love?
For western wear, Alexander Mc Queen/ Stella McCartney/ Dolce and Gabbana. Rag and Bone for everyday casuals. In eastern wear, I absolutely love Umar Saeed. And from the younger designers Elan and Faraz Manan. - Signature scent?
I don’t have one. But I like floral / light summery scents. - Favorite evening dressing style?
Silk blouse teamed with anything depending on the occasion. - Have mostly lipsticks of?
The only lip color I have is the Ather Shahzad colour palette by Luscious. - Favorite accessory?
I wear a pair of silver bangles my mother once gave me. I never take them off. - Never leave house without?
Lip balm. Oh and water bottle. - What are you planning to switch your current field modeling in to???
Acting. It seems to be the natural evolution for most models and now that I have been modeling for over a decade I think I can safely say I’m ready to try my hand at acting. I love Pakistani T.V serials and Pakistani cinema has really picked up as well. There couldn’t be a better time for a career change. - Latest obsession?
Spelt! I experiment with my diet all the time. Currently I’m eating spelt bread, pasta and biscuits!! (As and When!) - I know I’m home when I m wearing?
I’m always in lounge wear. Track pants and a T-shirt…when I’m in my London home I’m always in my father’s old sweaters! - Any celeb crushes?
Dare I say Fawad Khan!? Aren’t both of our Male exports (Fawad and Ali Zafar) across the border really amazing!? It’s not a crush, It’s just admiration for their courage and strength and the wonderful work they are doing. The same goes for Mahira. I feel really proud when I think of all the wonderful work our actors are doing abroad. - Best compliment you have ever received?
I’m often asked for my ID! Suffice to say at almost twice the age of an 18 year old what could be a better compliment! - Your perfect Sunday?
Sunday roast at a pub on my local highstreet with my husband and 3 year old. And lots of warm sunshine. - What makes you impatient?
Ignorance. What we call “Jahaliat” in Urdu. And I have no patience with arrogance. - Three secrets behind your sexy figure?
Ha! I have worked out every day since I was 18! Believe it or not I was in the gym on the day of my Barat. No exaggeration. Oh and I can’t remember the last time I ate a burger. I take my diet very seriously. I eat well but it’s always healthy. - Most daring thing you have done yet?
Moving to the U.K. - Your favorite cuisine?
I love sushi and sashimi. So perhaps Japanese. But if I don’t get my desi fix for a week I have been known to whip up daal/ rice in 30 minutes flat! So I always need my ghar ka khana. - What do you prefer the most for your future: Acting, hosting or modeling?
I think now it would have to be acting. - What trait do you admire most in people?
I really admire people who are not swayed by outward appearances. The Pakistan of today is so different from the Pakistan I grew up in and it’s unfortunate but we have become a very ostentatious and pretentious society. I really admire those who can be surrounded by all this and not be a part of it! To be able to hold your own and your beliefs and not be swayed by how much someone else has is truly admirable.
