Puja Poudel’s Rise as a Creative Force

In the ever-evolving world of fashion and media in Nepal, one name is capturing attention not just for her beauty, but for her voice, vision, and values, Puja Poudel. A self-described dreamer, creator, and healing voice, Puja is far more than just a model. She’s a media artist who blends storytelling, fashion, and self-discovery into a meaningful narrative of empowerment and growth.

From Small-Town Girl to Spotlight Star

Puja’s modeling journey began at just 16, when she first stepped into the spotlight through a beauty pageant. At 17, she experienced a defining moment, her first professional photoshoot. “It was magical,” she recalls, “the first time I felt like the main character.” Since then, her path has only grown brighter, with her image gracing public banners and magazine features, symbolizing dreams that transcend borders.

But her journey isn’t just about being seen, it’s about being heard. Puja is using her platform to elevate conversations around identity, creativity, and sustainability, shaping a new kind of modeling career rooted in purpose and authenticity.

A Role Model with Global Ambition

When asked which celebrity she’d swap lives with for a day, Puja gracefully declines the trade. Instead, she’d rather learn from someone she deeply admires Priyanka Chopra. Like her idol, Puja dreams of representing Nepal on the global stage, showcasing the grace, intelligence, and depth that Nepali talent has to offer.

Having witnessed Nepal’s modeling industry evolve over the years, she sees a rich pool of talent that deserves larger platforms and international exposure. “There’s so much potential here,” she says. “We just need the world to see it.”

Fashion with Purpose

A passionate advocate for sustainable fashion, Puja envisions a future where beauty and responsibility go hand in hand. She champions slow fashion, eco-friendly materials, and mindful consumption believing fashion should not only look good but do good.

Her message is clear: “Fashion is a form of expression, but it’s also a form of impact. We need to be conscious of what we wear, where it comes from, and what it means for the planet.”

Wisdom for the Next Generation

For aspiring models and creatives, Puja offers advice that goes far beyond the runway. “Build your confidence, develop your personal brand, and most importantly, stay true to yourself,” she advises.

With a background in psychology and a deep commitment to spiritual growth, Puja brings a holistic perspective to the often image-driven world of fashion. She encourages young dreamers to focus on education, communication skills, and always have a backup plan because substance, not just style, is what creates staying power.

A New Face of Nepali Fashion

Puja Poudel is more than a model she’s a movement. Bold, thoughtful, and inspiring, she represents a new chapter in Nepal’s fashion industry one that’s globally ambitious, yet deeply rooted in authenticity and values.

With her eyes on international runways and her heart grounded in purpose, Puja is lighting up more than just the camera she’s illuminating a path for others to follow.

We can’t wait to see where her dreams take her next.
