The Ghost by Zain Ali

In the autumn of 2015, during my second season of Buzzfeed-style video shoots, I was introduced to a humble, soft-spoken young man eager to be part of the project.

Working with him was an absolute pleasure.

I later saw him on billboards, collaborating thoughtfully with selective brands and designers — building a reputation marked by charisma and careful brand choices.

Today, he is managing not just his studies but also running his own brand and eCommerce store — a true multitasker leading three different fronts.

His name is Ahmed Mubeen, a shining example of dedication, smart planning, and entrepreneurial spirit.

 The Freelancer by Zain Ali

In the winter of 2014, I was searching for fresh talent for a series of Buzzfeed-style videos.

A friend recommended a young individual, and after seeing his photos via WhatsApp, I quickly scheduled a shoot. Everything went smoothly.

A few months later, I spotted him on a billboard along Shara-e-Faisal. I snapped a picture and sent it to him, congratulating him on his achievement. Later, I even saw him participating in a fashion week show. I approached him and said, “Bhai, you are unstoppable.”

This talented young man was balancing business studies at a university in Karachi while building a career in the media industry. Despite the challenges, he excelled both academically and professionally. After graduating, he secured a position at Habib Bank Limited and launched an NGO supporting the needy during the COVID-19 crisis.

His name is Ahmed Aziz — a remarkable talent and an inspiration to many.
