This is not the first time Maavia has made history. Earlier on March 18, Malik became the first transgender model to grace the PFDC Sunsilk Fashion week.
“It is such an honor for me to represent my community on such a prestigious platform. I know I should be nervous but I’m not. I’m so happy to finally fulfill this lifelong dream of mine,” Maavia had said after her appearance at the Fashion show.
