When you think of Pakistan, the first thing that doesn’t necessarily come to mind is beauty pageants. Not that there’s any dearth of beautiful people in Pakistan, just no culture for it. Unlike our neighboring country India, we do not have a bevy of women who have won Miss World or Miss Universe titles respectively because women from Pakistan do not compete in the pageants altogether.

But Anzhelika Tahir, or better known as Miss Pakistan is about to change that

In 2016, Anzhelika represented Pakistan in the Miss Earth pageant in the Phillipines. And following that she has been hoisting Pakistan’s flag at several places and is currently in Poland representing Pakistan at the Miss Supranational pageant.

Earlier this year, she starred alongside Mikaal Zulfiqar in a Pakistani movie called ‘Na Band Na Baraati‘.

Anzhelika grew up in Ukraine and was one of the rare Pakistanis there and hence felt different because of her brown skin. But as she grew older she travelled the world and connected with more Pakistanis so she could be more connected to her Pakistani culture.

Right now in Poland, she’s representing the country beautifully. In every sense of the word.

And clearly, people adore Anzhelika and how she’s representing our country internationally.

Clearly Anzhelika has a lot of wishes of good luck and prayers on her side. Cleary, she knows she’s a star and isn’t afraid to flaunt her beauty.

Yesterday at the red carpet in Cannes. #AnzhelikaTahirCannes I feel very happy and proud for stepping on that carpet and being announced as Miss Pakistan. It’s the first year ever when Pakistani women are recognized on the carpet. I’m saying in plural, bc the same year, but another day another famous paki actress @mahirahkhan made it through this journey. Being a part of this featival is a big pleasure and a honor, but there’s a lot of hard work behind those beautiful pictures! I want to say thanks to @filmawardstv for taking me to your family and hiring me as a red carpet reporter, @sashawaseem for being a great manager and a friend, @rezaagha10 for creating for me this wonderful dress under the brand of @chantillyofficial , @nadia.heart for supporting me with a design and styles, @misspakistanworld just will always be a part of this organization, @ourempire.by for many things and especially for running to the red carpet with me holding my dress, and I’m thankful to many-many other people who made it possible. @photo_pathe for taking those pictures on the carpet ❤️

We have high hopes from Anzhelika and clearly we aren’t the only ones. Let’s hope she wins big in the Supranational Pageant in Poland. Because she clearly deserves it.
