Model Mushk Kaleem said that her mother did not allow her to wear a saree as she thought it was only for married women.

"Story time: I wasn’t allowed to wear saaris. Never wore them to any of my farewells. My mum said saaris were only for married women. It’s something I would argue about so much, because I would always feel like a fish out of water at these events, all my friends in their gorgeous colourful saaris- and then me, not following the dress code, feeling miserable, so much so, I wouldn’t even get photos taken. I remember I wouldn’t partake in any conversation regarding the farewell prep," she wrote.

"I wouldn’t be excited. I guess it wasn’t that I wanted to wear a saari, it’s that I just wanted to avoid feeling like I didn’t belong. This picture took me right back to 2010. A 15 year old Mushk, standing in the Pochaji hall of Mama Parsi. Oh, well," concluded Kaleem.

On the work front, Mushk also runs a candle line called Mushk. Starting her modelling career in 2009, she has worked for several high-end brands and recently bagged the Best Female Model award at the 20th Lux Style Awards.
