Fire & Ice - Neha
By Zebunnisa Burki
A tall girl in a short crop top over a pair of low-rise trousers with hair in dread locks, capturing the sultry look of a Jamaican beauty, looks at me from her place in a framed photograph. Dark, with a figure to kill, she is the epitome of a sultry beauty.
It is Neha.
It’s afternoon and I sit waiting for her at her house. The sitting room is casually done up, with a minimalist style of decor. What are visible though are framed photographs, seemingly from her shoots, stacked against the walls. After a five-minute wait, she comes in, tall (5’8), lithe, loose hair down to her waist. Her kohl-rimmed eyes and freshly washed face are indicative of the fact that she has just woken up. However, there is no superstar in her and she apologizes for not being available for an interview earlier, before comfortably seating herself beside me. All smiles and very gracious, she prepares for her first-ever interview (“Isn’t it exciting, it’s my very first interview!”).
Barefoot and wearing casual dark-grey slacks and a grey T-shirt, Neha could be any 21-year-old Lahori girl. Over tea and cigarettes, intercepted with a liberal use of “jaan” and “sweetheart”, we carry on with the interview.
The youngest of five siblings, Neha lives with her mother, brother and sister. “I entered the field accidentally”, she says. She had gone to Ather Shahzad for a portfolio. Just like that? “Yes, just a photo shoot. And when it was over, I was like oh my God!” Apparently, the photographs were really good for someone who had never modelled before. Shahzad asked her to sign a contract.
“I did my first shoot with Tariq Amin without telling my mother. She saw the shoot after it got published.” Was her family supportive? “Well, my family is not too conservative but they were not very happy when I came back from my meeting with Shahzad and my mother even asked me not to let my brother know of it. No one has ever gone into modelling from my family before,” she explains. They obviously came round to the idea, and here she is now, three years later and one of Lahore’s top models.
She brings up the topic of marriage almost as soon as the interview starts. “I’ll work till I want to and leave it at will, maybe when I get married.”
Is there someone?
“Oh no. No.” However, hinting of someone in the past, she tactfully moves on. Neha has surprisingly pretty strong views on career and home. “Why should there be a choice,” she says. “If someone marries me while I’m a model, why should he ask me to stop working after marriage? If I don’t want to work, I’ll stop myself. I will do it of my own free will.”
Neha started modelling at 18, after doing her Intermediate from Lahore College for Women (“Oh please don’t write that. People seem to think it’s not a good place to study at!”) and quit studies altogether afterwards. She seems to feel her explanation isn’t enough and offers more on this: “You see, I have never liked taking money from my family, and I am now earning myself and this is my career. I don’t think I need to study right now,” she asserts.
“I do a lot of work nowadays because I get a lot of calls from designers wanting me to do their shoots.” She has also done various fashion shows and has three or four music videos to her credit. “My first video was a hit (Sheraz Uppal’s Tera Tay Mera). I have done videos for Ali Sher and Ali Haider as well.”
This brings us to an episodein Karachi involving Ali Haider, Nomi Qamar and her. The three were at Nomi’s residence when police barged in and accused them of disturbing the peace. I ask her about the way she feels the media has dealt with her in general. Her answer: “We are dependent on the media, we survive because of it.” I’m asking about the incident. Ah! Wary eyes measure me up and I get her side of the story - actually two of them!
First, according to Neha, she was not asked for any clarification and neither did she feel the need for any. “I am an established model now, with a name that everyone recognizes. When someone says something that has anything to do with a model called Neha, people assume it’s me.” So the Neha who made tabloid headlines was not her? “No,” is Neha’s answer. In any case, she says: “Whatever people do behind closed doors is their business, anyway.”
What about the open letter that Ali Haider sent to a newspaper, in which he clarified that he was at Nomi’s with Neha rehearsing for a music video. "I avoid talking about it because it is not something I want to discuss. Fact is that I was there with Nomi and Ali Haider, who are both close friends. We started rehearsing for the video and were reported to the authorities for no reason. I will not discuss it further. We were cleared. End of topic.
“I try to work with all the people in the field. I like to experiment,” she says, feeling that if someone is good at their work, no one can bind them to a particular style or person. “I don’t believe in contracts. Some models do but I don’t. I think different people are better to work with because then there is more variety in your work. People only tolerate you for a while if you always look the same. I don’t think I have to look ‘pretty’ which is why I try out new photographers and stylists.” She does not name any favourites, but says “Zainab Qayyum is the best, as a model and as a person.”
Acting is definitely on her list of to-do things. “I did a short role in Azal, a tele film, and I’m going to start working seriously for television.” But she’s not sure when since modelling is a full-time commitment and acting even more so. Why acting? “Well, I can’t stay a model forever, can I? How much can you model?” she asks.
What about critics who say models are no good as actors? A rather passionate response follows: “To them I say: Look at ZQ, Vinnie and even Aaminah Haq. They have managed to act well. I think ZQ will go a long way with her (acting) career,” she says. What about working with the Indians? I see her positively beaming now. “Shahrukh Khan and Arjun Rampal! I would love to act with either of them.”
What about society’s opinion of her profession? Has she faced any problems with people who think she’s easy game? “You make yourself the way you want to be seen. We cannot do the sort of modelling that is done in the west,or even in India because of our environment. But I think that men here look at women ‘that’ way even if they wear chaddars.”
What about revealing clothes - to what extent does she think they’re okay? “Well, once you enter the profession, you have to model and that is what I’m doing. I model clothes made by designers and that’s all there is to it.” Judging by her shoots, she obviously does not have a problem with showing some skin. "I think of it as a profession. When I wear these clothes, I’m modelling them. But when I dress up, I usually wear sleeveless or maybe a short top.
“I have a few friends, not many, and it’s never a ‘boy’ or a ‘girl’ situation when we work together. I’m not inclined towards any of them romantically,” she asserts. Seizing the moment, I bring up Arjun Rampal and a wicked smile plays upon her lips.
She is tactful when it comes to the subject of seniors. “No one gave me any trouble. I think if you keep a good attitude no one can.” For a model like Neha, work matters most and despite a few enthusiastic replies, she plays it safe, sticking to tactful responses and often preferring a diplomatic stance to every question. At the end of our brief encounter, it is obvious that she is here to stay.

i find it so funny how all these models enter the field of modeling "accidently" and they come from really "good families" who would never let them model but then they are in every magazine almost half naked!!!

Hey guys,
As much as pakistani photo shoots are becoming more and more revealing as time goes by, please do not post pictures here you wouldn't want your own kids staring at.
