Do you know what is better than charity and fasting and prayer? It is keeping peace and good relations between people, as quarrels and bad feelings destroy mankind.”

Anjum Fakih’s Poem
- Anjum Fakih belongs to a conservative Muslim family. Talking about it, she says,
Since 4th grade to 2009, I wore a burqa, but in 2010 I decided I will live my life on my own terms and will wear what I want. I took all my salwar kameez and burqa and dumped it all.”
- When she talked about her dreams to her parents, they told her that if she wanted to be a model, she would have to leave their home. So, she left her home at the age of 19 to pursue her passion for modelling and acting.
- She didn’t get any financial support from her parents and she came to Mumbai with the help of the money that she had collected through babysitting and tuitions in Saudi Arabia.
- She is 5 ft. 11 inches tall, because of which, she has always faced a problem in getting positive roles. Talking about the issue, she said-
I have mostly got offers to play a rich spoilt brat or a vamp on TV. Another disadvantage that I have is that I am too tall. I have done splits while shooting ‘Tere Shaher Mein.’ Whenever I bag a role, I just pray that my co-star is at least 6 ft 2 inches.”
- She has a pet cat, who she says to be her daughter. She has named her cat, ‘Ivy.’
