Spunk and bold moves. That’s the new mantra of the Pakistani ramp. Models from Lahore and Karachi are wooing the world of international fashion.

Meet Neha Ahmed. At 23, she’s already catwalked in Paris and Dubai. Next month, she’ll do a show in London for designer Hasan Sheriyar. “We’re getting a lot more international exposure now. I’m listed with agents in Paris and Dubai and keep going for shows there,” says Ahmed. But entry into modelling wasn’t easy. “My father, an armyman, was furious. But that was then. Now, he’s cool about it.”

Sunita Marshall, having done ramp shows in London, Sri Lanka, India, Singapore and Dubai, is one of the most sought-after models on the Pakistani ramp. “Though modeling is seen as a short-term profession in Pakistan, there’s a lot happening in the industry: we’re looked upon with respect and the money is amazing,” says Marshall, set to make her acting debut in the play Sukhay Patay, which has been shot in Canada and co-stars Suresh Oberoi.

The music of Sashi Ranjan’s film “Doobara” was launched by prominent people like Mahesh Bhatt and Shatrughan Sinha here. But the presence of former Pakistan president Zia-ul Haq’s daughter Zian made it all the more interesting, indiaexpress reported.

She had come on a special invitation given by Sinha, a close buddy of filmmaker Sashi Ranjan.

Zian said this was her third visit. She said she enjoyed Hindi films and “Dil To Paagal Hai” was her favorite film.

“Doobara” is a love story between Jackie Shroff, who plays a middle-aged married man, and Raveena Tandon, who plays his ex-girlfriend, told as a thriller.

FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. (AP) — Country singing star Faith Hill will sing for soldiers next week at a free concert.
