Debonaire-style maverick Ahmad Memon is handsomely set to make history as Pakistan’s first-ever contestant at the Mr International Pageant 2024, scheduled for this December in Bangkok, Thailand, marking a momentous milestone for the country, where such events are met with conservatism.
The prestigious event, now in its sixteenth edition, will feature participants from around the globe, including England, Lebanon, Indonesia, India, and Nigeria.
Surprisingly, many people in Pakistan are unaware of male pageants, and Memon was no exception. He shared how his friend and the first Miss Universe Pakistan, Erica Robin, introduced him to the idea. “When Erica mentioned it, I couldn’t believe there was a pageant for men too! She encouraged me to apply,” Memon recalled.
“At first, I didn’t take her seriously, but when I looked into it, I realised representatives from nearly every country were participating—except Pakistan. So, I thought, why not raise our green flag on an international stage?” After a series of meetings, he received the call that would change everything: he was selected to represent Pakistan.
