The girl has hit a purple patch. She has recently tied the knot and has also been declared one of the most attractive Asian ladies in an international survey. Add to it the heartening news regarding the Indian film that Mehreen Syed is playing the lead character in.

The hitherto untitled film is directed by Sanjay Puran Singh Chauhan who is a long-time friend of Mehreen S and has previously made a critically acclaimed film, Lahore. Insiders say that the project the super model is working in is dark comedy and has a social message. Well, can’t wait to see a movie in which a fashion model does black comedy, an oxymoron of sorts.
