“Luck worked in mysterious ways†-- Nawshin
Nawshin was recently crowned the winner of the second edition of the Veet Channel i Top Model pageant. The feat materialised the youngster's dreams of becoming a popular name in showbiz, and has set her on a path to stardom. Nawshin said she first started dreaming of being a top model, only after she reached the top 25 in the competition.
A student from Chittagong, Nawshin registered for Veet Channel i Top Model after seeing an advertisement on Facebook. During the grooming sessions, she had to put everything on hold and take her exams. Her family's primary concern was for her to pursue her studies. She needed to stay at the competition camp for three and a half months for the grooming sessions.
Asked what her goals were after being crowned the top model, Nawshin said she hopes to cement a strong place in the media. “I want to repay the love that the audience showed by voting for me,†she added.
Her favourite artistes include Subarna Mustafa, Tarin and Joya Ahsan. Viewing them as inspiration, Nawshin wants to work her way up the ladder and make a name for herself, so that the viewers appreciate her through the years.
Nawshin fondly remembers the times spent at the grooming sessions with her fellow competitors. Staying together at the camp, eating together, sharing rooms -- everything shaped the great friendship among the top contestants. The fun times were endless; the other contestants even gave Nawshin a nickname for her mischievousness: “Dushter Shiromoniâ€.
Nawshin used to watch the Lux Channel i Superstar pageant on TV and also viewed the first edition of the Veet Top Model. While watching the shows, she would often put herself in the contestants' shoes and dream of becoming a part of the media.
“Luck worked in mysterious ways,†a smiling Nawshin said, adding, “I also started my journey like them. When I look back, it sometimes feels like a dream.â€
The first time Nawshin stood in front of a camera, it was a scary experience for her. She was shivering all over. “I will never forget that day,†Nawshin said.
After being named the top model, Nawshin returned to Chittagong and the very next day went to her college. She was in the spotlight the entire time, fetching compliments all around. This made her feel like she had achieved something significant.
Nawshin is determined to put in her might into her work, so that she does not get lost in the tide of time. She expects to cement her stay and move much further ahead in the media.
