Early life and career

Anjum Fakih was just 15 years old when she decided to become a Model. Even though, she belongs to a conservative Muslim family living in Ghatkopar,[8] she followed her passion to have a career in modelling. Talking about her early life, she said ''Since 4th grade to 2009 I wore a Burkha, but in 2010 I decided I will live my life on my terms and will wear what I want. I took all my Shalwar Kameez and Burkha and dumped them. In fact, even when I discussed about my modelling plans with my mother, she straight away refused and told me you can't do it while staying in my house. So, I left my house and made my career. I belonged to a family where woman used to go behind parda (veil) when any guest would visit us home. However, now my mother's views has changed after seeing the industry." She has won the Ford Super Model of the World-India.[9]

She started her acting career with Star Plus's Romantic Series Tere Sheher Mein. She has also appeared in shows like Time Machine and MTV's Chat House.
