We were lucky to catch up with Sadia Ahmed recently and have shared our conversation below.
Sadia, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today We’d love to hear about when you first realized that you wanted to pursue a creative path professionally.
Ever since I was teen, I knew I wanted to be into creative field but I was confused what exactly I want. Dress designing, writing poems, thoughts, photography, cooking & home decoration I have been inclined towards all mentioned. Not learnt professionally from anywhere but still was good in dress designing so asked my mother to lend me some money to open boutique but like most of the parents she wanted me to complete education and opt some lucrative stable job.. Well my mom, being a single parent might have thought to stable us in jobs which could be fruitful in the long run. What I believe creativity remains with you, it never dies. The moment you get opportunity it keeps popping up and bloom beautifully.. I started my career from fashion show & event management back in India but quit to complete academic.
Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.
As I mentioned earlier I have been always inclined towards creativity. You can call me a real mess of little few creativity. 😆 I write poems,I am a food blogger, love home decoration, designing clothes, little of Modeling, little of photography, little of dancing & yeah acting too & none I learnt professionally . I believe one can learn techniques but not creation. Creativity is within you, it’s natural, it’s inherent & as a child I always wanted to own my business , basically entrepreneur..That insect within you keeps crawling & itches untill you grab what you ever wanted. Right!! So, back in 2019 I started Munaari Entertainment. Munaari is a word coined out of two words from Urdu & Hindi. Mukhtalif ( unique) & Naari ( Woman). Uniqueness of it’s name was totally based on the Uniqueness of theme. When I came to the state I asked for opportunities but coz of average height didn’t bag good projects in modeling around hence decided to provide opportunities rather asking and create a platform for talents which can cater any woman, man or children irrespective of height, weight, colour or ethnicity. Once started it boomed in local market and many people got inspired with this theme of Fashion. Also I promote our National language Hindi via this platform by adding poem in fashion shows which is in itself a unique concept and no one has so far done it. We have been featured in reputed local papers, got interviewed on reputed magazines like yours and TV also.Recevied few awards. Need to go a long way.
Challenges and difficulties keep moving along with us for the entire life so dealing with these with patience and focus ease them.
After my baby was born, am not active but definately come back with better ideas and better shows hopefully.
What do you think is the goal or mission that drives your creative journey?
Absolutely mission because without mission one can’tset the goal.My mission is to propagate style via fashion in rhythm for unbiased look.Precisely, creative fashion for Everyone is the slogan of Munaari. Also I aim to promote Indian National language Hindi through our medium in the form of poetries which go by theme.Munaari is beyond modeling, it speaks about the personality rather looks. We all know that model is the representation of the brand she/he exhibiting so how you present make the market for the product.Fashion is not lifeless mannequins, it’s living lifestyle.
What’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative in your experience?
Being an artist , you are the boss of your talent. This means you are not afraid of getting it stolen or snatched.It’s your life partner. There could be and surely there are infinite ups & downs in anyone’s life. You know you have an asset and that’s your creativity which can help you to stand again & stand out at the same time. Well! The most rewarding aspect of being it is that people know you for what you are , they love your art and look upto you with the utmost respect. What one could ask more!
