19-year-old Munira Mirzoeva, a janitor from Tajikistan, without knowing it, was included in the list of the most beautiful girls in the world according to The Atlas of Beauty project. A randomly taken photo of her wearing a janitor's work uniform has garnered over 4,000 likes on Facebook. The girl was named the most beautiful janitor in the world, reports Day.Az with reference to PPcorn.


Munira Mirzoeva was photographed by Romanian photographer Michaela Noroc during her recent trip to Tajikistan. Two years ago, she quit her job, took a backpack, a camera and traveled the world in search of natural beauty. She found her in women of different countries and nationalities - beautiful as they are: without makeup and fashionable clothes. This is how The Atlas of Beauty project was born, in which Michaela photographs and uploads pictures of women from all over the world to the Internet. The photographer herself says that her task is to show the diversity of the world through these portraits. Having traveled to more than 37 countries, she concluded that beauty is everywhere and does not depend on cosmetics or body parameters. Rather, it is about being yourself.


It was this quality that the photographer saw in Munira Mirzoeva, when she accidentally met her on Dushanbe street in the form of a janitor. It was a beauty that cannot be hidden under any clothes: naturalness, sincerity and individuality.

As it turned out later, Munira Mirzoeva does not work entirely as a janitor, but in the landscaping department of the capital's Shokhmansur district: she plants flowers and plants on the streets of her hometown. She is the eldest child and after graduation she dreamed of going to university and becoming a doctor, but due to financial problems in the family she went to work. At 19, she is the main breadwinner in a family of 7.


Despite the fact that the dream of becoming a doctor Munira had to be postponed, she is proud of her work, because she receives her bread by honest labor. At the same time, the girl even manages to wear the uniform of a street worker with grace and elegance, as can be seen in the photographs of Michaela Norok.

According to Munira, she does not despair over an unfulfilled dream, because the main thing for her is to have a calm life and not depend on others. But, perhaps, the appearance on the list of The Atlas of Beauty will bring positive changes to the girl's fate. At least this is what photographer Michaela Norok hopes for. She promised to follow the history of "the most beautiful janitor in the world" and share the news.

Representatives of Tajik nationality are remarkable for their amazing cuteness. Their special charm and beauty are undeniably recognized as unique all over the world. Luxurious hair, an expressive line of cheekbones, a magnificent shape of eyes and lips - such external properties are the result of the fusion over thousands of years of the Caucasian race with the Indian, Iranian, Mongolian, and Turkic peoples.

Feature of Tajik women

The territory in which this nationality lives is not limited to Tajikistan or Uzbekistan. Tajiks also inhabit Afghanistan, Pakistan and Kyrgyzstan. It is not easy for women to realize themselves in a Muslim society. Famous Tajik beauties, almost all live outside their homeland in more prosperous countries. In Tajikistan, however, there are many girls who freely perform on the stage or participate in beauty contests without being subjected to religious pressure.

Tajik beauties have very expressive facial features even without makeup. But all women, in an oriental manner, very intensely emphasize their eyes, which become the brightest and most noticeable feature of their appearance.

Khadiya Tajik

It is hard to believe that this beautiful, charming woman is a prominent statesman in Norway, a lawyer and a journalist. Her political career began in 2006, when Khadia was hired by the Ministry of Labor and Social Inclusion as a political adviser. In 2013, she became the first Muslim and at the same time the youngest minister in Norway. Khadiya then turned 30 years old. And two years later, she became one of two deputies of the country's Labor Party.

Her parents are Pakistani Tajiks who emigrated in the early 1970s to Norway, where Khadiya was born (1983) and raised. In the list of girls, Khadia could become number one, as the most intelligent and educated. She holds a bachelor's degree in field from the University of Stavanger, a master's degree in human rights from Kingston University in England and a master's degree in law from the University of Oslo.

Sayora Safari

The 26-year-old film actress, originally from Dushanbe, joined the list of famous Tajik beauties after the release of the TV series "Gulchatay" (2011), where Sayora played the main role. Her first experience in the filming of the film "Desantura" (2009) was accidental, but after that the girl decided to enter the Moscow Theater School. Her parents were against such plans, but in the end they allowed Sayora to leave for Moscow. Today she has roles in a dozen films, and Sayora Safari is recognized as one of the most beautiful and talented Russian actresses. Among the natural talents of the actress, it is worth mentioning her possession of a beautiful singing voice. No wonder she dreamed of becoming an opera singer since childhood.

Hammas Kohistani

This British model has become a celebrity among the most beautiful Tajik women in the world, not only because of her impeccable appearance.

In 2005, the Liverpool Miss England pageant took place two months after the terrible events in London, when 52 people were killed by explosions by Islamist extremists. The crown of the beauty queen in the national competition was won by a Muslim woman, I must say, for the first time in the history of these competitions in Britain. The next day, portraits of the 18-year-old winner appeared on the front pages of most British newspapers.

The Kohistani family are Afghan Tajiks. At the beginning of the Afghan war, the girl's parents fled to Tashkent, where Hammas was born. The family later returned to their homeland in Kabul, but when the Taliban took control of the city in 1996, Kohistani fled the country again. They eventually moved to the United Kingdom and settled in the West London area. There, the girl graduated from high school, and then Uxbridge College.

Hammasa's brilliant victory in the competition set an example for every Tajik model, but at the same time caused discontent in the religious Islamic communities in Britain. The Kohistani family received insulting and threatening letters accusing the girl of betraying the principles of Islam. This was reported by the press, and it was mentioned that Hammasa is having a hard time being bullied by his family by co-religionists. Perhaps these events became the reason that she interrupted her participation before the semifinals of the Miss World contest, although she was listed as a favorite with a good chance of winning.

Hammasa has made a career as a successful British model, has been the face of famous brands, her photographs are printed in many fashion magazines, including Teen Vogue (2006), and she remains the first among the world's most beautiful Tajik women.

Mozda Jamalzada

The eyes of this Canadian-Afghan singer are gray, and her hair is dark brown, which is not uncommon among mountain Tajiks, to whom Mozda Jamalzada belongs. She was five years old when her family fled from Kabul to Canada during the Afghan civil war. Growing up, the girl studied journalism at the British Columbia Institute of Technology, as well as philosophy and political science at the University of British Columbia. Possessing excellent singing skills, Mozda in her student years began to compose and perform songs herself. One of them was Dokhtare Afghan, which became an unexpected hit on Afghan radio and television. The song earned Mazda many nominations and awards from Afghan, Canadian, international radio and television stations.

In 2009, the singer was offered to direct the Afghan Talent program on 1TV in Kabul. Mozda accepted this offer because it allowed him to return to his homeland. Soon after starting work at 1TV, she realized that her presence in the country could at least slightly solve the problems of the Afghan society. This is how the Mozda Show program was born, which covers taboo topics: what it is like to be a woman, a child and, in general, a person living in Afghan society. The show provides an opportunity to study and see the current situation in Afghanistan through the eyes of the Afghans themselves.

Mozda Jamalzada is the recipient of several Canadian and international art awards. She is considered one of the first Afghan and Tajik beauties, as well as the most pretty singer in Canada.

Tajik singers and models

The images of Tajik girls striving to establish themselves in the modeling business seem to be the limit, the perfection of female beauty. Nodira Mazitova is a fashion model who is rightfully considered the most beautiful girl in Tajikistan. Fatima Makhmadulaeva is a 2016 Face of Central Asia finalist. The most promising Tajik model, Gulbahar Beknazar, took part in the 2016 Queen of USSR Dubai international competition for the first time. And we can name dozens more names of the most beautiful female models of Tajikistan, whose natural qualities are admired by the whole world.

Photos of stunning beauties who have not achieved world popularity, but have become famous within their region, are posted on the Internet. For example, the albums of the popular pop singer Mohirai Tohiri are in incredible demand in Tajikistan and are sold in large circulations. And Nozia Karomatullo is not only a talented singer, but also knows the art of oriental dance and became the winner of the Indian Katak competition. Folk singer Nigina Amonkulova performs in national costumes and gives the impression of a fairy-tale princess of oriental fairy tales. Manizha Davlatova, Takhmina Niyazova, Shabnam Surayo are girls in whom nature has combined amazing beauty and talent.

Munira Mirzoeva

The last story tells about a girl whose captivating beauty could have remained unknown if it had not been captured by Michaela Norok. A woman-photographer from Romania, traveling the world, chose female images for her Internet project “Atlas of Beauty”. One hundred portraits of the most beautiful, according to the traveler, girls were posted on the network. Among them was a picture of 19-year-old Munira Mirzoeva, whom Mikhaela photographed on a street in Dushanbe.

Since this pearl of Tajik beauties was at that moment in an orange uniform, the Romanian considered her as a janitor, which she mentioned in her blog. In fact, Munira is an employee of the city landscaping service, but on the Internet she remained a “wonderful janitor”, which only made her irresistible appearance more touching. Her photo received thousands of “liked” clicks, while a huge number of Facebook users to this day extol Mirzoeva's “natural beauty”, sweet smile and elegance. After that, major regional media became interested in the girl, and the Russian-language edition of Cosmopolitan published her interview and photo in one of the issues.

Munira Mirzoeva accidentally became a celebrity. But this girl is one of the many fabulous beauties that the Tajik nationality is rich in, and whose portraits could adequately decorate the most prestigious glossy publications.

A 19-year-old flower grower from Tajikistan reacted with complete calmness to the fact that her picture, which was taken by the Romanian photographer Michaela Noroc for the Atlas of Beauty project, made a splash in the vastness of the Central Asian segment of the Internet.

One photo was enough for 19-year-old Munira Mirzoeva to transform from an unknown Dushanbe employee of the Shokhmansur district landscaping department into a Central Asian web sensation.

Glorified her project Atlas of Beauty hosted by the Romanian photographer Michaela Noroc. She travels to different countries to capture "the natural beauty of the world around us, showing the diversity of our planet through portraits of women." Just a couple of days after the publication on August 18 of Munira Mirzoeva's photo on Michaela Norok's Facebook page, this photo received thousands of "likes", accompanied by enthusiastic comments about Mirzoeva's natural beauty and her charming smile.

Soon, the story of Munira Mirzoeva's photograph attracted the attention of local and regional media - from the Russian-language magazine Cosmopolitan to news sites in Central Asia.

But how such an incredible story could have done without a catch. In the case of Munira Mirzoeva, it was the signature of the photographer for her photograph - "The handsome janitor of Dushanbe."

However, it seems that Munira Mirzoeva does not care at all about this mistake, she explains this by the fact that her bright orange vest resembles the vests of the Dushanbe wipers. She is also indifferent to her new celebrity status and loud headlines for her photographs "The Most Beautiful Janitor in the World" and "The Queen of Beauty".

LARGE FAMILY FEEDER

My life revolves around my family, my home and my work, ”says Munira Mirzoeva in an interview with the Tajik editorial office of Azattyk.

She adds that even after work, the garden shovel is always at hand and that she has a lot of chores around the house.

My close friends are my fellow gardeners, she says.

Munira Mirzoeva is the main breadwinner in the family and the oldest of seven children. Her salary is approximately $ 110 a month, plus periodic bonuses.

The wages of public sector workers in Tajikistan are low - teachers earn about $ 200 a month.

Mirzoeva wanted to become a doctor, however, according to her, studying at the university was not affordable for the family, so after graduation she had to start working as a flower grower.

Try on a blanket, then stretch your legs, ”Munir Mirzoyev quotes a Tajik proverb, which means that you need to live within your means.

According to Mirzoeva, the fame that this photograph brought her will not affect her life in any way. She does not see herself as a possible overseas beauty pageant, as some commentators on social media suggest.

I don't think my parents would let me go anywhere. My parents are afraid to let me go somewhere far away, even for a short while. They would be worried about me. They would think, “Will she come back or not? When is she coming back? " But if it depended on me, I would definitely like to take part in a beauty pageant abroad, she says.

Meanwhile, Facebook users in Tajikistan have begun raising funds to fulfill the dream of Munira Mirzoeva to study medicine.

At the time of the conversation with the Tajik editorial office of Azattyk, Munira Mirzoyeva was not aware of this initiative. She also, apparently, does not know that her beauty is glorified on the social network and that fans are constantly asking her phone number on the Atlas of Beauty page.

And this is for the best. Indeed, according to Munira Mirzoeva, she will soon get married.
