Raise
your hand if you’ve seen one of Saimasmileslike videos on YouTube.
I’m literally raising both hands right now because I watch them all
the time. How could I not be? Her sense of style and demeanour lures
you in. Her talent and amusement will make you want to watch more of
her videos! Not to mention, the well known muslimah has gained nearly
800,000 views through her videos- just imagine the amount of comments
and questions she must get from girls all over the world! Luckily I
got in touch with her and asked some questions which she has answered
for me so make sure you read on to find out more about her.
Name:
Saima Chowdhury
Age:
20
From:
Birmingham, UK
Tell
us a bit about yourself:
I’m
a 20 year old fashion photographer, designer and youtuber from
Birmingham who has a passion for pizza, TV and cats!
Tell
us about your typical day?
A
typical day for me would be, waking up and checking emails and
messages, heading to the gym, filming a video, editing it, planning
my next projects and then spending some time relaxing either with my
friends, family or the TV!
What
is the highlight of your vlogging journey?
I
don’t think I could stick to just one, I have so many highlights,
so many opportunities and blessed moments given to me because of
them. I’ve had the chance to meet amazing people, people who I used
to look up to and the people who follow me now! I have also been
given opportunities to work with different creative teams, be on TV
and try out radio. I’m honestly so thankful for it all!
What
makes you different from other youtubers?
I
guess at the moment the fact that I’m a Muslim woman who does
comedy would make me different; you don’t see that many Muslim
women going down that route but I hope that changes soon!
Describe
your style in three words?
Grungy,
odd and simple
I
know you are married and you did a husband tag a while ago but what I
would like to know is how you think marriage has changed you as
saimasmileslike?
I
think marriage has made me more patient and understanding. Before I
only had to think about myself but now that I’ve got a husband its
more like teamwork, we have to think and look after each other, not
just ourselves.
Now
you inspire many girls BUT who inspires you?
Honestly
I couldn’t pin point it down to just one person. I’m inspired by
so many people, popular people, my family and friends, even my fans
:)
What
did you take for your GCSE’S?
Oh
man that was along time ago! I’ll try and list all the ones I can
remember- Art, Textiles, Maths, Statistics, English Language, English
Literature, Religious Studies, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, ICT,
P.E... I’m not sure if that is all of them but these are the ones I
remember.
What
does your future look like?
Right
now I’m working on a few secret projects. InshaAllah if all goes
well, these projects will be my future!
What
do you feel is your greatest achievement?
I
can’t give that away yet ;)
What
are you really bad at?
Dancing,
like horrifically bad.
What
is your most embarrassing moment?
Honestly
I have no idea. I don’t tend to get embarrassed lol I’ve done so
many weird things and now it has all become normal to me!
Do
you like to surf the internet and if so what would you recommend we
surf?
Aha,
I guess I “surf” the internet for random things every so often
but I spend most my time on tumblr; I’d definitely suggest you all
get a tumblr account!
What
do you enjoy doing in your spare time?
I
love watching movies :)
What
can you not leave the house without?
My
phone!
Are
you messy or a neat freak?
I’d
say a bit of both!
Do
you have any phobias?
I
wouldn’t say it's a phobia but I am scared of frogs lol
Lastly,
do you have anything to say to your fans?
I’d
just like to give them all a hug and say thank you for everything;
the constant support, the lovely messages, its amazing how wonderful
they all are. I wouldn’t have had the chance to experience the
things I have without them, they mean a lot to me! <3
Hope
all goes well!
