Also, Waqas moved to the kingdom to work as a carpenter, and to become a model in advertising had never occurred to him. Life opened a gate of new opportunities to him and from being a carpenter, the young man ended up becoming a model.
In an interview with Al-Arabiya.net Waqas shared his views. He said, “I came to Saudi Arabia four years ago to work as a carpenter. And I never thought of becoming a model in advertising. ”
“One day I saw my friend (Faisal) editing the photos of a photo session. I told him that since childhood I have wanted to work in this field but in Pakistan, I didn’t get the chance, so my friend suggested and took a picture of me and sent it to the relevant person.”
