Plastic Fantastic: Faryal Makhdoom and Ken Doll Turn Dubai into a ‘Barbie World’

The collaboration we didn’t know we needed.

In a surprising collaboration we didn’t know we needed, Faryal Makhdoom channeled her inner ‘Barbie’ to create a desi Barbie world in Dubai.

As fans worldwide continue to swoon over Greta Gerwig’s 2023 Barbie movie, starring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling, the ‘pink fever’ has spread like wildfire. Faryal didn’t waste any time hopping on the ‘Barbie’ bandwagon.

Unfortunately, Faryal is no longer in talking terms with her ‘Ken’ (aka Amir Khan) these days, but that didn’t stop her as she teamed up with none other than Pakistan’s very own Ken Doll, Adnan Zafar.

The two influencers shared a dazzling reel on Instagram, depicting their glamorous Barbie and Ken personas.

In the reel, Faryal effortlessly channeled her inner ‘Barbie girl,’ adorned in all shades of pink, while Adnan rocked a chic denim jacket paired with jeans and a matching pink t-shirt and sneakers. The two looked like a real-life version of the iconic Mattel dolls as they posed with their luxury pink cars, completing their picturesque ‘Barbie and Ken’ dream in Dubai.

Amidst the playful portrayal, it’s hard to ignore the irony that both Faryal Makhdoom and Adnan Zafar are well-known for their affinity for plastic surgery. Their striking resemblance to the famous dolls makes their collaboration all the more intriguing and entertaining.

 

Adnan Zafar, known as Pakistan’s Ken Doll, is a prominent fashion model and social media influencer currently residing in Dubai, UAE. His impeccable facial features have earned him the moniker of the male Barbie in the Middle East, cementing his status as a style icon and internet sensation.

Meanwhile, Faryal Makhdoom has been a prominent figure in the world of social media and Pakistani media due to her marriage to Amir Khan, the former boxing world champion. However, their relationship faced turmoil recently when Amir Khan was embroiled in a sexting scandal.

The couple has been living apart amidst the controversy, which has garnered significant media attention.
