各国名人英文介绍-Vaneeza Ahmed

Vaneeza Ahmed, a.k.a. Vinny, was born in Lahore, Pakistan in 1971. She is one of Pakistan’s best-known celebrities¹. She is also an extremely successful actress and model. It is difficult to go anywhere in Pakistan without seeing her face on an advertisement. In April 2008, Vinny was one of the few Pakistanis to run with the Beijing Olympics torch when it visited Islamabad.

Ahmad moved to Germany when she was young to better her education. Her parents pressured her to get into medicine and be a doctor. When she was 18, she returned to Pakistan but couldn’t study medicine because she had no background in physics. Instead, she chose to do a Bachelor’s degree in psychology². While at college, she did some part-time modelling.

Ahmad had no real plans to get into modelling as a career option. She was shocked to be offered dozens of jobs, including some from some big names in the Pakistani fashion industry. Her looks, elegance³ and brains soon made her a top model. She also launched⁴ her own fashion brand, which is now very popular among Pakistani women.

Her career in fashion led her into acting⁵. She has starred in many different television serials⁶. Her biggest role was in ‘Jinnah’, playing the daughter of Pakistan’s founding father Muhammad Ali Jinnah. Vaneeza said of acting: “I could lie about it and say I’m in this field for the love of art. But I admit that I’m doing it for money.”
