Fashion's New Wonder Boy

Text: Talath Naqvi and Amna Khalique There is a fire in Emraan Rajput that drives him despite the odds that haven't always been in his favour. In fact, it seems that the difficulties he faced at the beginning of his career are what drove him to pit his all and make it in this field.
