Afghan beauty queen refused cat walk at India fashion week
Organizers of India’s premier fashion week refused to let an Afghan beauty queen take part in a show inspired by her life as she did not have a work permit, a report said. Vida Samadzai was lead model for Bangalore-based designer Deepika Govind’s show, the United News of India (UNI) news agency reported. Minutes before she was to appear on the cat walk, Samadzai was stopped by a fashion show official who said she did not have the necessary work permit, the report said. Samadzai, born and raised in the Afghan capital Kabul, emigrated to the United States in 1996 and now holds American citizenship. The model, who travelled to India on a business visa that expires in November, had sent a letter to the Fashion Design Council of India seeking permission to take part in Govind’s show.“I don’t know why I was not allowed to walk. No money was exchanged,” Samadzai, Afghanistan’s unofficial representative at the Miss Earth contest in Manila in 2003, was quoted as saying.
