Azhar Ashraf - I Am More Passionate About My Dreams And Being A Positive Person, I Overcame Many Challenges (Actor, Model)

 

Being an actor and a model is totally different. It is not same as people think of it mostly. Model is not an actor and an actor is both of it (model, actor). According to me a model is a person who is the different one in a way he/she should not only be a model for a fashion show, designer show, pageant, or any clothing or jewelry brand. But, he /she must be a model for his/her society his/her village, his/her environment and for his/her country.

1. Tell us about your background and journey.

First of all I want to say that i am from j & k but i live in Ahmedabad from last two years. And in J&K people can't mostly think about being a model or an actor because of some reasons and mentality of people regarding this. Beside s that it's too hard over there to be in this line (fashion).

I started my school from SSA govt primary school up to 5th standard, I went to another local private school. After completion of 12th standard from my local school in my village. I moved to college and started my new journey after that suddenly conditions and situations changed and at that time the present conditions and the environment was totally unsecure and destructive. 

Then I left my home and shifted to Ahmedabad GUJRAT for technical education like accounting, tally, ccc and designing etc. I walked in an audition in Ahmedabad for Mr GUJARAT 2019 and I was selected and my dream journey started I was soo excited and happy with that I have been selected.

It was a good experience and life changing moment for me. I continued and I faced lot's of problems from my relatives and all but I insisted like a child for it. Finally I convinced everyone regarding that please give me one chance at it happened.

Finally I went to the finale of Mr GUJARAT and I won the title Mr GUJARAT 2019 and I was also awarded by Mr BEST PERSONALITY. I was so happy because I made it possible. Because of that thing I was able to prove Myself before my hindrances I faced. 

Till now I have done a good work I this line. I have worked with Bollywood celebrities and Gujarat industry celebs as well. Besides that I have done shoots for clothes, adds, hoarding, news bites and designer as well. Thanks to Almighty.

2. How did you take a break in the industry?

I didn't take any break in industry, I just started my modelling career in 2019.

3. What are some of the challenges you face and how do you overcome it?

Being a shy and introvert person, I have faced lots of challenges at every step and because of my Ancestral background and negativity of people besides me, and one of the main reason having poor family background and having financial problems but I didn't gave up I am more passionate about my dreams and being a positive person, hard worker I made it and I overcame from it. I convinced myself first and that thing helped me to built confidence and I got it.

4. How would you describe yourself as an actor and model?

Being an actor and a model is totally different. It is not same as people think of it mostly. Model is not an actor and an actor is both of it (model, actor). According to me a model is a person who is the different one in a way he/she should not only be a model for a fashion show, designer show, pageant, or any clothing or jewelry brand. But, he /she must be a model for his/her society his/her village, his/her environment and for his/her country.

Being an actor is not easy it looks awesome when we see a person performing on TV or Mobile phone's it is fantasy for the normal people but, the hard work sacrifices, patience, dedication, determination it takes to stand in front and perform only the person knows who is performing. After all I wanna say it is a person with confidence, patience to prove himself and explore Himself.

5. What has been your greatest achievement?

My greatest achievement is yet to come but whatever I achieved till is best for me. I learnt from everything and I tried to improve myself more so whatever I achieved till today are my greatest achievement.

6. How do you plan to take your career forward?

I believe in doing hard work and smart work by patience and positively striking to it and giving 100% to my passion and attraction which will lead to fulfill my dreams.
