1. Can you share a little about your background, including your education, family, and achievements?
I come from a humble background in Jhang, where my father worked in the trucking business. Growing up with two brothers and a sister, I received my early education at Chenab College Jhang and later completed my FSC from Punjab College Wah Cantt. Determined to chase my dreams, I embarked on a life-changing journey to Las Vegas, United States—a move that challenged me but ultimately led to my full financial independence by the age of 20.
In 2019, I relocated to New York to further my education, where I earned a place on the Dean’s List for academic excellence, maintaining a 3.5 GPA throughout my studies. I graduated in 2023 as a Registered Nurse (RN) and returned to Las Vegas to begin my professional career at Henderson Hospital. Committed to continuous growth, I am currently pursuing my Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) at SUNY Empire State College, with graduation expected by the end of this year.
I eagerly anticipate completing my degree, as it will allow me to dedicate more time to my passion for beauty pageants and explore new and exciting opportunities in life.
2. What inspired you to apply for the Miss/Ms. Pakistan title?
I’ve always aspired to be in the public eye and make a meaningful impact. Over the years, many—including my patients—have encouraged me to explore beauty pageants or a career in modeling. Competing in a pageant has been a lifelong dream, but limited resources once held me back. However, after establishing my career and gaining financial independence, I knew the time was right to chase that dream. So, I took the leap, applied—and here we are today.
3. Now that you’ve won the title, what are your future plans?
I intend to use this title to represent Pakistan on international pageant stages. With it comes immense potential, and while I can’t predict exactly what opportunities will unfold, I remain open to exploring a career in media. I’m excited to see where this journey takes me!
4. What cause or advocacy are you passionate about?
I am deeply committed to advocating against child labor. Every child deserves a childhood and access to education—these are fundamental rights that should never be taken away. Forcing children into labor denies them opportunities and sets them on a path of hardship that can affect their entire future. It’s crucial that we create a world where every child has an equal chance to grow, learn, and reach their full potential.
5. How do you like to spend your free time? Any favorite hobbies?
In my limited free time, I love spending quality moments with family and friends. Painting is a hobby I truly enjoy, though I’ve stepped away from it recently due to a busy schedule. However, I’m determined to return to it soon and reignite my creative spirit. Traveling is another passion of mine—I find joy in exploring nature and discovering new cuisines.
6. What advice would you give to Pakistani women who aspire to enter the world of pageantry?
Everyone has their own preferences, so take the time to listen to others, but remember to trust yourself and make decisions that feel right for you. If you ever find yourself doubting your abilities, remind yourself: “If she can do it, so can I.” Don’t let fear or uncertainty stop you from chasing your dreams.
