Talking to media, Muhammad Waqas said that he came here (Saudi Arabia) from Pakistan four years ago to work as a carpenter. He said that one day when I saw my friend Faisal editing pictures, I told him that I have been interested in modeling since my childhood but in Pakistan, I did not get the opportunity.
According to Waqas, his friend took this seriously and took pictures and sent them to the relevant personalities for modeling. At the same time, a user shared a picture of Waqas on Twitter with a message which got the best response.

As the tweet went viral, various major companies offered Waqas to work as a model in their own brand, while also modeling for a Saudi-based vest-making company.
Waqas said that he had no idea that what he had said to a friend while walking, would lead him to the fruition of his dream, and that he would be able to model for advertisements.
The images that went viral on social networking sites not only made Waqas famous but also changed his career. The 24-year-old model is updating his social media accounts, and sharing each of his photo shoots on social media.
