Shafina Shah – Ms. Pakistan World 2023, was crowned on the 31st of May 2023 in the Grand Palm Hotel in Lahore. It was a surreal feeling for her and besides getting the crown she is now on her way to represent Miss Global 2023 which will take place on the 2nd of January 2024 and Miss Universal 2023 in March 2024 both Vietnam and Cambodia.
Prior to her departure to international pageants, she achieved another feature in her cap and that was Sandeep Reddy Vanga's latest cinematic venture, 'Animal.'
The movie has captivated audiences nationwide with its intense storyline and stellar performances. While the film has faced its fair share of controversies, one aspect that has caught the audience's attention is the talented ensemble cast, including the lesser-known star kid, Shafina Shah.
In this cinematic extravaganza, Bobby Deol steps into the shoes of the antagonist, Abrar, who boasts three wives, each contributing to the film's complexity. Shafina Shah, a London-based Pakistani actress, takes on the role of Abrar's second wife. Despite her limited screen time, Shafina's portrayal has garnered praise, especially for her compelling interactions with Bobby Deol and his other on-screen spouses as well as sharing screen with actor Ranbir Kapoor.
Shafina Shah's roots in the entertainment world run deep, with both her parents being seasoned actors. Born in London to an Indian father Haji Ismail Raj Muhammad Patel and Pakistani mother Atia Shah, Shafina is a proud second-generation performer. Reflecting on her heritage, she shared, "My mother, who is Pathan, was born in Kohat, Pakistan, and moved to the UK. My late father, from Bootwada, India, became a well-known British actor after moving to the UK. They met through the industry, both being actors themselves." Her father, known by the screen name Raj Patel, and her mother, Atia Shah, were prominent figures in the entertainment industry, with Shafina following in their illustrious footsteps.
Over the years, she has made her mark as an actress, model, and TV presenter, with notable appearances in the Pakistani film 'Lahore to London' and an advertisement alongside Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan.
This accomplishment further solidifies her multifaceted talent and rising prominence in the entertainment industry. When asked about her very busy schedule and her life after the win of Ms. Pakistan World and the release of her movie “Animal,” she stated, “I thank Allah for all the love and success that I have received. And I am so excited to go to the international pageants assigned to me. It will be an honour to represent Pakistan internationally and introduce Pakistan to Vietnam and Cambodia. The Bollywood movie, “Animal,” has been a great journey as I had auditioned for it in London, UK and got the part. I am glad for the amazing response and the success of the film.”
Shafina Shah is also busy with her new charity venture, as she recently joined Pakistan’s Cleft Lip & Palette Association (PCLAPA) in September 2023. OPSA focuses on Children with facial abnormalities and offers primary cleft surgery, speech and language therapy, audiology, dentistry, and orthodontics. It has taken initiative to provide maxillofacial treatment to the patients and is operating from Gujrat, Pakistan. Shafina Shah is an ambassador of PCLAPA and recently visited the hospital in Gujrat, Pakistan.
With her win as Ms. Pakistan World, as well as her representing Pakistan in Miss Global and Miss Universal, Shafina is taking in all the appreciation of her box office successful film “Animal” and focusing on the fundraising for PCLAPA. For now, she is busy for the year and hopes to do more work in the future.
