you & me

Tall and handsome, Sachal Afzal stepped into modelling after he completed his education. He graduated in Political Science from Government College Lahore and got his LLB from Punjab University. He was spotted by a photographer at a Career Expo while walking the ramp. Acknowledging his modelling potential, the photographer helped make Afzal his first portfolio, which he then shared on social media. Garnering praise and a positive response, Afzal’s friend Zack took him to Photographer Khawar Riaz, who gave him useful pointers for his modelling career. Soon enough, Sachal landed a campaign with Gul Ahmed. With the success of his debut, he went on to work with big names like Big Jeans, Emporio, Rawaj, TVC Sooper Biscuit and designers like Ali Xeeshan, Nomi Ansari, Ismail Fareed, Nauman Arfeen, HSY, Republic by Omer Farooq and so on. He also walked the ramp in PFDC 2018. Apart from a music video with AJM productions ‘Dil Ke’, he has even acted in a Malaysian TV production of Sara Sajeeda.

And, recently he got recognised for his talent and hard work when he received the Lux Style Award 2020 in the ‘Best Emerging Talent’. Currently, the model is involved in some editorials which will be coming out soon. Let’s get to know the likes and dislikes of this talented model...
