Who says an engineering student cannot make it in the fashion world? Meet Adit Sarjil Qureshi, an eighth-semester Electrical and Electronic Engineering (EEE) student at BRAC University, who was recently crowned Face of Bangladesh 2026.

Adit’s journey into modelling began with unexpected opportunities and a growing belief in himself. Having dreamed of representing Bangladesh internationally since childhood, he initially hoped to do so through football, which he played at district level. However, his fascination with modelling never faded.

Encouraged by friends, he took his first steps into the industry through photoshoots with two designers. Just one and a half months later, he found himself auditioning for Face of Bangladesh 2026, despite having no prior professional modelling or grooming experience.

The competition became his first real training ground, particularly through the Azra Mahmood Talent Camp. Although he initially struggled with confidence and communication, Adit gradually discovered his potential and grew more comfortable in front of the camera.

Now, he is preparing for Face of Asia, with one immediate goal: bringing the international title home to Bangladesh. At the same time, he is balancing his modelling commitments with university examinations and coursework, determined not to compromise on either.

Looking ahead, Adit hopes to establish himself as an international model while exploring his interests in fashion, fitness and technology.

His message to aspiring young people is simple: “The more embarrassment you can face, the more you can grow and achieve.”
