Is Safa Baig a Model?

She has gone on to cover herself completely though post her marriage and doesn’t even have a personal social media account. That has left the people who became her fans for her drop dead looks lurking to find more and more details about Safa Baig. To all those curious fans, here is everything you ever wanted to know about one of Gulf’s most beautiful model and now one of India’s very own, Safa Baig.

Hailing from an Orthodox Muslim family, modelling was never an easy career option for Safa. However, with her dedication, mesmerising looks, and support from the family, Safa managed to get into the modelling sector and pursue her dream career. She had a knack for art as well, as she picked up nail painting too at a very tender age. Her childhood was just the time when she started showing that she is just a perfect example of beauty with brains.

Safa Baig was a very ambitious girl but had a lot many obstacles to get through and make her dreams come true. First was her family background, and second was the high level of competition in Saudi’s modelling industry. With family backing her up for every decision, the first hurdle was cleared with relative ease. The second one though needed a bit of struggle from Safa’s end. Her beauty was never going to be enough to see her rise to the level she deserved. She needed a bit more and by the time others what it was, she had developed all the missing qualities to become one of Gulf’s most popular faces.

Irfan Pathan wife Controversy

Being in the headlines in India is never easy. The moment Irfan Pathan posted a picture of him with his beautiful wife covered in Hijab but had her nails painted, trolls on social media went berserk as they started criticising Irfan Pathan for posting an “un-Islamic” photo of her wife.

Irfan Pathan was asked not to post pictures with her wife and was advised to maintain Parda for her. However, the picture shared by him was captioned with “Kuch Toh Log Kahenge Logo Ka Kaam Hai Kehna” as if to tell them he knew what was coming. Just for a reply to all those trolls though, Irfan posted another picture of him with the caption “I repeat 🙂 If there is more love than hate I think we are doing alright. #spreadlove” to end the episode on a perfectly balanced note.

He still posts pictures of himself with his wife but now, the trolls seem to have weathered away. Safa was also at the centre of criticism for being the reason behind Irfan Pathan and Shivangi Dev’s alleged breakup. The two were never confirmed to have been dating though which meant that the criticism went back to where it came from, thin air.

We wish this amazing couple continues to spread love for years to come and Irfan’s lady luck gets him the much anticipated comeback to the national side we’ve all been waiting for.
