KARACHI: The fourth season of Veet Miss Super Model has just begun. The reality show consists of 12 finalists, out of which only one will be crowned Miss Super Model in the grand finale of the show. This was briefed to the media personnel at a press conference that took place at a hotel on Monday evening.
The eight-episode show, to air sometime in mid-May, will be hosted by Wiqar Ali Khan, a well-known Pakistani VJ. It is being claimed by the organisers that this season is going to be more exciting than all the previous ones.
While speaking to the media, Khan said, “I am very happy to be a part of this. I will be hosting this event. Before, there used to be female hosts, but I am glad that I have been asked to host it this time. Also, there will be three mentors from the world of modeling who will help groom these girls.”
Khalid Soorty, VP Programming, Hum Sitaray, said, “We are not only empowering young women along the way, but we are identifying and grooming them also. It will be interesting with twists and turns, to see how the actual reality goes.”
Three mentors, namely top Pakistani models Amna Ilyas, Cybil Chowdhry and Sabina Pasha will coach the contestants. In the eight themed episodes, each mentor will primarily focus on grooming the models in various aspects of modeling based on beauty, confidence and personality development. The episodes will also showcase celebrity appearances from the fashion, television and film industries who will be judging the challenges that the aspiring models will compete in.
The mentors also shared their views at the conference, with Chowdhry claiming: “I can’t wait for everybody to perform!” Pasha said, “So glad that they got a platform. When we started off in the modeling career there was none for us.” Whereas Ilyas commented: “It is good to see that girls are passionate about it.”
Later in the question and answer session, Pasha said, “There is fiery competition and there is plenty of confidence. I hope they keep walking with their dreams intact. You will get to see a lot of passion and all kinds of emotions from tears to laughter in this show, as they will be living in all kinds of different conditions. Every single time there will be an interesting episode coming up.”
