Madiha Saail of Project Rich


A hard core Lahori who is a proud Pakistani! Yaaaaaasss! She wholeheartedly believes in *be Pakistani, buy Pakistani*!We felt honored that she so warmly welcomed us to her home and was very forthcoming about her life! Must say, it was a Sunday well spent.

About Madiha. She did her schooling from Convent of Jesus and Mary, Lahore Grammar School and did her Pharmacy from Punjab University. Can you believe it?! A student of pure Sciences all her life always who always dream't of becoming a doctor not only pursued her artistic passion but she also practices as a pharmacist here in Lahore! She works from 9 to 5 at her grandfather's factory, Shahzoo Zaka, of Mian Zaka Rahman. And get this, the factory was founded in 1951 and started off with Anti Tuberculosis Drugs! That is just brilliant!!

She is patriotic to the core and you can also see in her work, her home and her family! If you follow her on Instagram you will know what we are talking about!
When she was around 17 years of age, Madiha started off with making embroidery and patterns with her mother, Aasia Saail who BTW is a designer and a pharmacist as well!! Her early training years were from England and Germany in the early 90s.

Madiha credits her drive, motivation and passion to the strong women of her family who have set such high benchmarks for her and she feels that she has to keep on going and prove to herself that she can do and achieve a lot in life!

Regarding Project Rich and how it came about? Well Madiha and her best friend (business partner) started off by making home decor including lamps, candle stands, wall hangings along with budget makeovers. Guys, they had sold out exhibitions! Isn't that great! And the best part about Project Rich is that they wanted to showcase Pakistani talent, the woodwork and what Pakistan has to offer in the field of fashion and the rich heritage that comes along with it.

After her business partner went off to pursue his career, she became more focused on jewelry as it came naturally to her. Project Rich became more mainstream in 2013 and when their AZADI LINE/ PATRIOTIC LINE came out, it was their claim to fame!! From then on customized orders started coming in. Every year they add new pieces to their Azadi Line!! Majorly they receive orders of names and calligraphy and a significant chunk of orders are from Karachi and now Lahore too amongst other cities. Not only does Project Rich receive orders within Pakistan but her passion  has also spread world wide!!:) Feeling so proud!!

She says that her family, especially her husband, Fahad Farooq supports her! That's why Project Rich has taken off the way it has! They run it as a team and it clearly shows in their work!

Coming to her likes/ dislikes/ pet peeves, Madiha was very candid! She said she hates lizards and cockroaches and won't go into a room if there are creepy crawlies roaming around! So cute!! She also said that she cannot work with disorganized people and have no room for disorderliness in her life! Yes girl!Totally agree with you!


Coming to her beauty regimen she said she swears by Vaseline Intensive Care. Like literally that is the best skin-care product. When asked whats in her Makeup Pouch currently, she did a a litle show and tell for us starting with Masarrat Misbah Compact Powder in Medium Beige, Mac pink Blush SpellbinderL'Oreal Super Volume Mascara, Colossal Kajal by Maybelline, Perfume by Burberry -The Beat, Rimmel -Exaggerate Eye Definer, blush brush by Estee Lauder, Masarrat Misbah Gloss in Dahlia, H&M lipstick in Lenox Lounge and Forever 21 Contour and Shade Palette and of course the Beauty Blender had to make an appearance!

What Madiha said at the end of the interview really touched us.
She said: 
 'Whatever struggle that you are going through, you will get through it. Give it time. Life is fluid, nothing lasts forever. This too shall pass and you will come out shining. If you believe it then you can achieve it! Just have faith!'
 The way she said it, touched us!!
