Abbas Jafri

We have seen him on the ramps of various fashion shows and surely he made an impact on everyone. This young and talented lad is credited for introducing the beard in the world of fashion where clean-shaven men ruled. This model has literally changed the face of male models in fashion; he wears his hair long and slightly unkempt, and his bread is full and long. Yes, we are talking about model and former cricketer Abbas Jafri. He played professional cricket for Pakistan and USA before he switched to modelling. Abbas has made regular appearances on many television channels and is a regular face in print media, fashion shows and events. Abbas has won various awards including Lux Style Awards - Model of the Year (Male) in 2011 and the award for Best Male Model in 2012 at the 1st Hum Awards. He is the Brand Ambassador of Bareeze Man and Ahmed Bham. Modelling isn’t a career for Abbas, as he is definitely inclined towards acting. “I am getting many offers but waiting for the correct opportunity. I would love to do movies, but good ones only.” Let’s take a look at his likes and dislikes...

My biggest asset:
The love and support of my family. They are the source of my motivation

I wish I could:
Stop all the racism in Pakistan. This is the reason why Pakistan is so divided. We can’t succeed without unity

One person I would love to dine with:
Queen Elizabeth

My worst nightmare:
Losing my loved ones 

Definition of love:
Love is something that has no boundaries and has no conditions. It’s a secret thing

Something I hate about myself:
I am too transparent, and that can make me vulnerable

Something I would like to forget:
All the people who did not believe in me

Something I’d like to remember:
All the blessings given to me by God and a healthy life

I regret:
I don’t always get enough time to thank Allah for all the blessings He has given me.

My strength:
My mother; my diva, the source of light in my life.

I feel on cloud nine when:
My father tells me he is proud of me

I get dejected when:
I see the pain and suffering in my country

Possessive about:
My family

Turned on by:
Genuine people with high morals and a candle lit night with my girlfriend

What touches me the most:
The courage to be honest

If I could be another person I’d be:
Khal Drogo

What bores me the most:
Fake people with their own agendas

When feeling low I prefer:
A hug from the right person

Most unforgettable moment of my life:
When I got my first Lux style award and seeing the tears of joy in my mother’s eyes.

My message:
Keep hoping for the best in life and be thankful to God for what has been given to you. One day you will reach right to the top.
