September 4, 2010: Looks like another love story is brewing in Tinsel Town! A source tells us that ‘I Am She’ finalist; model and former Miss Kolkata 2007 Sheena Chohan is in love and with none other than Mumbai based fashion designer and stylist Umair Zafar. Sheena Chohan had recently participated in the ‘I Am She’ Ms India Universe pageant conducted by Sushmita Sen's company Tantra. She was one of the finalists and though she didn’t make it to the top three, she is a popular face on Mumbai social circuit. Designer Umair Zafar has been designing clothes for the last 5 years and is known for clothing German model and ‘Bigg Boss’ participant Claudia Ciesla in some ethnic Indian outfits.
A party animal tells us that Sheena and Umair have been seen together at several events in and around the city. Sheena has been quoted in Mumbai tabloid Mid-day praising Umair Zafar's outfits and designs. She is normally seen at parties wearing an Umair Zafar creation which she openly talks about to the press. The duo has been clicked by press photographers openly expressing their admiration for each other at many social events. They have been spotted together at about 8 events in the last one month itself says our source. The couple was seen at the Ode to Bismillah Khan Saab as well as at an event at The Ultimate Club at Lokhandwala in Mumbai within a span of two days.
Both Umair Zafar and Sheena were unavailable for comment. We tried calling Umair Zafar several times but he didn’t take our calls. Sheena of course doesn’t speak to lesser mortals like us.
Umair Zafar has designed and styled many Bollywood celebrities like Celina Jaitley, Yukta Mookhey, Padmani Kolhapuri, Geeta Basra, Aditi Sharma, Divya Dwivedi and others.
