Supermodel Bella Hadid has headlined major fashion events and weeks around the world and has also walked the ramp for many leading luxury brands, but she admits that the one thing she misses the most is being closer to her Muslim roots, reports Indian Express.
In a new interview with GQ magazine, the supermodel talked about making her acting debut in the Emmy-nominated show ‘Ramy‘, saying that when she arrived on set on the first day, she wept as she was gifted a t-shirt by the crew that read, ‘Free Palestine’.
Bella said, “I couldn’t handle my emotions. Growing up and being Arab, it was the first time that I’d ever been with like-minded people. I was able to see myself.”
The supermodel is the daughter of a Palestinian real estate developer Mohamed Hadid and Dutch model Yolanda Hadid. She is also the younger sister of supermodel Gigi Hadid.
In the past, she has spoken about Palestinian causes and continues to raise awareness about the citizens there and the state of affairs in the country, which has long been in conflict with the neighbouring Israel.
