Arka
There’s no warm-up with Sanjida Urmi. She arrives on set the way she shows up in a photo—sharp, composed, and already a little bored of pretending to be anyone else. Minimalist? Yes. Soft-spoken? Not even close.
“I can eat you alive,” she jokes when asked what runs through her mind on the runway. And honestly? You believe her.
Sanjida’s not trying to blend in. She knows her angles, knows her fit, and knows exactly what she brings to the table. “I was drawn to the creative expression of fashion and storytelling through images,” she says. “I didn’t just want to wear the clothes—I wanted to be part of the process.” Now, she’s the kind of face that photographers chase and stylists quietly plan their best looks around.
She doesn’t do too much—but what she does, she does right.
Clean Lines, Loud Statements
If you had to bottle Sanjida’s style, it would smell like restraint—but with a spritz of menace. “Minimalistic, clean and chic,” she says. Think monochrome tailoring, slick hair, and expressions that say: don’t test me.
Her dream outfit? A tailored, dark brown suit. “Well-fitted. Confidence. Effortless,” she says. “And honestly? You’ll probably see me in it more than once. It just works.”
But don’t let the neutrals fool you—there’s always a little chaos underneath. “My favorite weird item? My colorful socks. I don’t wear them, though. They just live in my drawer. They’re the fun I’m saving for later.”
Her alter ego on the runway sums it up best: Silk Storm. “Soft elegance with sudden power,” she explains. “Flowy fabrics that still cut through the air like lightning.” There’s beauty in the movement—but tension in the silence that comes before it.
Lights, Nerves, Action
Sanjida’s first runway experience was at Arka—and the memory still charges her. “Standing behind the curtain, heart racing… then stepping into the lights and feeling completely alive,” she recalls.
You’d never know she deals with anxiety behind the scenes. “Nobody knows this, but I blur my vision. I pretend it’s just me in my room at 3 a.m. It works. Makes the whole thing feel less like a performance and more like a dream.”
She’s particular about prep. “I need time to mentally go over everything I’m bringing—shoes, accessories, energy, all of it. I don’t like rushing. I like walking in knowing I’ve already done my homework.”
This balance—between calculated and chaotic—is what gives her presence weight. You can feel the prep in every glance, every step. And when she walks, she doesn’t just sell the clothes—she owns the room.
Arka Was the Beginning—But Not the Peak
Arka was more than a runway moment for Sanjida. “It was my first runway, so it holds a very special place,” she says. “I’ve worked with a lot of brands, but Arka was different. It showed me what real runways feel like—the pacing, the crowd, the nerves, the highs. It’s not just about looking good. It’s about carrying the energy.”
She’s quick to recommend it to anyone with even a sliver of curiosity. “Try modeling if you’re interested—and even if you’re not, go visit. It’s unlike anything else happening in Dhaka.”
For someone who thrives in structured chaos, Arka offered the perfect first stage—one that embraced both her precision and her unpredictability.
Model Code: Eat Clean, Wear Black, Blur the Crowd
There’s a ritual to Sanjida’s confidence. Her fashion staples are as composed as her presence: sleek silhouettes, tonal palettes, little to no fuss. “Anything in black makes me feel powerful,” she says. “It’s the only color that behaves.”
And yet, her dream runway walk would be for Ralph Lauren—clean American tailoring, heritage with edge. A fitting match for someone who radiates high-end confidence with a low-maintenance attitude.
When asked what advice she’d give new models, she doesn't hesitate: “Be yourself. And stick to your ethics.” A short sentence that hits like a headline. Because at the end of the day, it’s not just about how you look—it’s about how you carry it.
Fictional Flexes & Real-World Wisdom
Her dream closet swap? Itachi Uchiha. “Because why not?” she shrugs. And honestly, we respect the choice.
It’s this sense of humor that cuts through her more polished moments—proof that behind the gaze and the glam, she’s still just someone having fun with the ride.
She’s not trying to become someone else through modeling. She’s just giving the world a sharper version of who she already is.
