Izara Aishah’s career started with something out of her control. When she was 17, she was selected for Dewi Remaja 2009/10, a popular teen pageant competition. But there was one problem – she couldn’t recall signing up for it!

“My agency was the one that put me up for it. But I refused to be a part of it because doing a pageant was the last thing on my mind!” she said during an interview in Kuala Lumpur.
