TV host and entrepreneur Neelofa has been making waves both at home and abroad.

After cementing her place on the local show business scene, the Kelantan native revealed in a 2018 interview that she was taking her career abroad, signing with two talent management agencies in London and Paris.

Since then, there has been no shortage of top international fashion and beauty brands wanting to work with the 31-year-old.

On October 15, Neelofa made public her decision to wear the niqab, a veil that covers most of the face except the eyes.

With that in mind, some wondered if Neelofa’s new appearance would have an effect on her career.

Neelofa’s TV host, actress, and friend Uyaina Arshad asked her the question on October 23 during a live Instagram session.

“I was ready for any possibility, even being rejected or labeled an extremist,” Neelofa replied.

“Instead, they asked me, ‘How can we (the brand) fit in with its new look?'”

Uyaina added, “His answer gave me goose bumps.”
