Munni Begum/Guwahati

The sky is the limit for a determined young woman from Nazira, a small town in eastern Assam, who dreams of walking every ramp of the Indian metro cities and donning the Miss India crown. She is Syeda Ajhara Jannat Sultana, a first-semester student of English literature at Gargaon College. Ajhara, 19, has won titles in various beauty pageants.

 

Speaking to Awaz-the Voice, Syeda Ajhara Jannat Sultana says, "I am very interested in the fashion world. Watching beauty pageants, the idea of modeling took birth in my brain. But, I never thought that I’ll walk the ramp one day. I was in Class VIII when I first took part in a beauty pageant organized on the occasion of a festival in Nazira. Journalist Pradip Hazarika helped me participate in it. Although I could not win the contest, I gained experience.”

 

Ajhara has been managing her studies as well as modeling well. She wanted to establish herself as a highly educated young woman as well as a model and actress. "Everyone needs practice and perseverance to be successful in the present challenging times."

 

About her successful career, Ajhara said, "the Cultural Convention of Assam has awarded me the state title for modeling. I also finished among the top six in DY Calendar Girls 2022 and I am featured in the calendar. Besides, featuring an advertisement of Mi brand product, I have also won the Well Grooming title in the Heritage Assam beauty pageant. Apart from walking the ramp in East India Fashion Week, I also got the opportunity to represent Assam in the Sunsilk Mega Miss North East beauty pageant. I have also won the Miss Sivasagar, Miss Dikhow 2018, and other titles."

The young women of the Muslim community who are interested in fashion should take the opportunity to overcome the so-called barriers of society and try to establish themselves, she added.

 

"Although my family has been supporting me, as a girl from the Muslim community, I have faced some obstacles. The family support is a courage that has been the driving force behind my success in realizing my dreams,” Ajhara said.

 

"I can see a lot of youth in our society, especially young Muslim women, who are very interested in fashion. However, they often face hurdles of the so-called social obligations. I believe the support of their families is very essential here so that those latent talents don’t go waste," Ajhara said.


Apart from performing to the tune of famous flutist Naveen Annan, a member of AR Rehman's band, Ajhara has recently acted in a song titled 'Akashiganga …' sung by Neel Bora. The song was choreographed by Sachin Barua and composed by Rafiqul Islam.

 

Ajahara, who thinks every path in life is a ramp, is presently focused on her plan to prepare for Miss India 2022 audition.

Mumbai In the last episode of 'Bigg Boss 15', contestants got a straightforward lesson from 'Bigg Boss' for not taking the game seriously. They were sent to the jungle and two eviction slots were opened. However, there is no end to the agony of 'Junglewasis' as they received yet another announcement. The contestants have been divided into pairs. Each pair has a chance to gain entry in the main house using the 'access ticket', but it comes at a cost. The pairs not only have to win the assigned task but also face a deduction of a certain amount from their prize money should they re-enter the main house. Moreover, the jungle will also start taking away the necessities required for survival. The contestants thus have no choice but to face the deductions and try to enter the main house. Jay Bahushali and Pratik Sehajpal, who have been rivals since day one, started working together as a team. They are on a mission to not let anybody win and Pratik starts ruini

Ehsan Fazili/Srinagar   In restoring and conserving a dilapidated, abandoned, and decaying Church, the Srinagar Municipal Corporation has not only revived a place of worship for the handful of local Christians but also preserved Valley’s architectural heritage and traditions of harmony. The 125-year-old Saint Luke’s Church in Dal Gate area, close to the Lake by that name, will have its first mass for the devout on Christmas after 30 years. The carol singing happened at its online inauguration by Lt Governor Manoj Sinha. The church was built in 1896 on the southwest slope of Shri Shankaracharya Hill on top of which is located the famous Shiva temple.   According to Athar Aamir Khan, Commissioner, Srinagar Municipality, a lot of credit for the restoration of this building goes to local artisans who reworked the Khatamband ceiling of this church, a unique feature of local art. Khatamband is a roof made of designer wooden tiles. The church building is otherwise a Gothic structure. An insid
