Nazanin:
Nazanin, whose name in Parsi means ‘sweetheart,’ is a 5’5” multicultural bombshell that has been posing in front of the camera for more than 12 years. Now as a model, actress and entertainer, she is making the most of her God-given talent while still living up to the full meaning of her name. More than a decade ago, Nazanin was discovered at a local restaurant while dining with her mother. “A photographer came up to me and asked if I was a model. I told a little white lie and said “yes.” So from that “little white lie,” a career was launched. A self-professed natural performer, she went on to land catalog, beauty, fashion, print, television and music video projects to build her extensive portfolio.
