Back then, she used to be a pupil at Khulna Government Coronation Girls’ High School.

Life however, has certainly changed drastically for the model.

From the cover of a Bangladesh magazine to the cover of Vogue, she has conquered it all. She also earned the Miss India Princess Crown four years ago.
