Pakistani Model-Actress ZARA SHEIKH(more photos below)
Zara Sheikh (Punjabi, Urdu: زارا شیخ; born June 1, 1982 in Lahore, Pakistan) is a famous Pakistani model, actress and singer.
- Her father was in the Central Superior Services of Pakistan which would normally result in a life spent moving all over Pakistan. However, Sheikh was fortunate to have a stable home as her parents were careful not to interrupt her education at any time.
- Sheikh's big break came while working with photography 'genius' Khawar Riaz, who promised to make her the next big thing.
- Sheikh made her cinema screen debut in 2001, through Hassan Askari's “Tere Pyar Mein”. The movie completed a successful, year long run in Pakistani cinemas and swept the annual Film Awards in Lahore, bringing Sheikh her first Best Actress award. This was the first time a newcomer had won the specific award, let alone for their debut film.
- Sheikh made her debut on billboards across Pakistan as the "JaZZ Girl" for one of Pakistan's prominent cellular service providers, Mobilink GSM. The ad campaign was an instant hit, and plummeted Sheikh to television and print ads for the brand. She remains the 'Original JaZZ Girl' and has built up an incredible fan base within and outside of Pakistan.
- Sheikh has modelled for a large number of fashion designers and her looks have been described as "attractive," "fiery" and "ravishing." An article, focusing on Sheikh, calls her onscreen presence "spectacular".
- Sheikh's songs have a received mixed response, with one source saying that "her singing ... require(s) some serious thinking" but "nonetheless, she has the knack to make her mettle in [the singing] arena” and another praising "her husky voice."
- She came into the spotlight for her smoking habits, regarding which she said, "I know a lot of models start smoking because they want to kill their appetite but with me, I had to with the tensions that were suddenly invading my life and the company I was hanging out with. When everyone around you is smoking, you end up picking up the habit too.
- Considered to be one of the most beautiful and talented actresses in Pakistani cinema. Zara is based in Lahore, although she travels frequently to Dubai, New York, Toronto and London for her acting and modeling assignments.
