Doing something different was something I always wanted to do. Right after I finished my studies in 2010, I started working. I used Facebook, and I saw pages of celebrities and their beauty. I saw pages of other talented youth. Then it struck me; I wanted to do something different too. My friends used to sarcastically propose the idea of becoming a model or an actor. But I wanted to become something Maldivian youth, especially males didn't do. So I decided that I would become a model. I got a chance through a friend in November 2013 to model for a photoshoot by Xan's Photography. It was my debut. After my break, I got another chance to model for Munkography. I also modeled for Jerrygraphy, one of the most aspiring photographers in Maldives right now. That is how I exactly dominated my place in the modelling industry. I modeled for photoshoots of six local professional photographers. Then it was time I decided that I will model abroad. I won chances of doing photoshoots for a photoshoot in India, through some model-friends from India. But since I have to travel all the way to India for this, this hasn't happened. And when I met this famous photographer couple, Csaba and Barbara who was visiting Maldives from Hungary. They are collectively known as "The Wedding Photographer". They offered me a chance to model for a photo shoot. I am currently 21 years of age. I started professional modelling when I was 20. It has been almost two years since it all actually started. I do not get an income from modelling. But it is what I always wanted to do, so I got that going on for me. I still enjoy modelling. I do get negative comments and criticism from this usual group of friends, but the majority of friends I have in real, and most of the people I met on Facebook are really supportive. According to them, modelling is a great thing to do as a hobby.
