Umm...I know I am supposed to post this in the Hollywood forum....but since this girl is of Pakistani origin, I thought I could post it in the Bollywood forum....If our fellow Pakistanis can promote Bollywood movies...why can't we promote Pakistanis?😳 I seriously hope she fulfills her wish and break the barriers for other talented Muslim girls!😊

Zara Adams hopes to be first Muslim Bond girl

Zara Adams, a British model of Pakistani origin, hopes to create history by landing the role of one of the Bond girls in the next 007 movie 'Quantum of Solace'.

Zara was born in Glasgow to an Iranian father and Pakistani mother. She had a strict upbringing and had not seen even a single movie until she enrolled in the Philosophy course in Edinburgh University. Coincidentally, the first film she saw was a Bond flick.




Now, she stands a good chance of landing a role in the next Bond movie.

Zara has been undergoing auditions for the role and has cleared the first round. She will take part in the second round from April 2.

She admits that her conservative family is upset with her for auditioning for the Bond movie.

In an interview to The Sun, Zara said she is getting support from her friends but her parents aren't really happy about the auditions. However, Zara believes that clinching the role would not just be a breakthrough for her but would also break barriers for other Muslim girls.

Zara is also the editor and publisher of 'The Talent' magazine. Her all-time favourite movies are 'Casablanca', 'Dr. Zhivago', 'In The Mood For Love' and 'White Oleander'. She is also an ardent fan of all Brigitte Bardot movies.

Yeah! go girl! i think more girls from the sub-continent should be seen in Hollywood! They have tremendous talent!👏

Unfortunately, Aishwaryas projects in the West were unsuccessful....I hope her Pink Panther 2 is a hit!👏 Sophie Solandres, her character's name is soo un-Indianish!😆Lets see how she portrays the role!

nothing wrong with it? have people forgetten what a muslim is, muslim girls are not meant to expose and are not even allowed to touch the hands of a man who is not related to her, so being a muslim bnd girl is highly inappropriate since anyone who watchs bond movies knows tht all bong girls jst wear bikinis r short clothes and have sex scenes with bond 🤢 , also its doesn;t do much fr their careers since they dnt have a real platform to act its jst looking gd, the only bond girls who hve benefited frm them r the ones who r already well knwn actresses. so a muslim bnd girl who not benefit anyone,and any talented muslim girls should focus on movies which showcase their talents nt assets 🤢

Who is Negar Khan? Never heard of her? Are you talking abt the model who faced the infamous wardrobe malfunction?

To tell u the truth, Its her life ultimately..If she gets a movie which requires her to shed her clothes (if she is confortable ) N prove her talent, i dont see why its a big deal

Bt i agree with ZOE28 ..Bond flicks never do anything for the actress..They never give her a chance to show her prowess in acting. They are just s*x dolls in the movie..

When u hear Bond flick, whats the first name that comes to your mind..Sean Connery, Pierce Brosnan, Roger Moore????

Does anyone here even remember the name of first Bond girl..

If she even gets the role, it will be nothing bt her 50 seconds to fame..And our media will hype it as if man has gone to Moon again

I am of the same opinion. But they need the media hype so that their careers can get a boost!
For example, if it weren't for the media, we wouldn't even know who is Deepika Padukone today. They were the ones who went on showing stories abt the then ninteen year old model and stuff! She is a media made star! With all the star sons and daughters coming on screen she wouldn't get a chance to show her talent if it weren't for the media!
