A heart melting video featuring a rising actor and model drew immense attention to his glow-up journey after moving to Mumbai. The actor and model, Rashid Malik, dropped a video giving a sneak peek into his massive transformation that led him to various projects in the city of dreams. The clip soon went viral with social media users flooding the comments section with their hilarious reactions.
In the now-viral video, we can spot Rashid Malik posing for the camera at a sunflower field. The background of the flashback photo seemed to be a village with the then-young boy dressed in a simple purple-hued chequered shirt teamed with casual pants.
Inside Rashid Malik’s Massive Transition
He can be seen looking straight into the camera with an innocent
smile and joined hands, seemingly showing his bit shy self. A text overlaying the video read, “Mumbai jaake koi choti si job pakad lunga (I’ll go to Mumbai and get a small job)?” revealing his then-thoughts of settling for a modest lifestyle after shifting to Mumbai.
But what happened next completely changed his life’s trajectory. The boy joined the modelling business, and with his sheer determination and hard work, he landed up in one after another projects. The video transitioned into several shots from his professional commitments.
One of the frames featured him enjoying a crispy, fried snack, in a billboard advertisement for the Doctor’s Choice brand edible cooking oil, suggesting the oil is suitable for frying while still offering a balance of health and taste. Many other frames featured glimpses from his shoots, dress-up sessions and more billboard advertisements.
