The Guinness Book of World Records is a well-known compilation that inspires many people to devote a major amount of their lives to making it into its pages. In contrast, some people find themselves unexpectedly featured in the book. This book often contains exceptional human achievements, speed and height records, extreme natural phenomena, and uncommon things.

Fortunately, Rafah Nanjeba Torsa, a Bangladeshi model-actress, was just named one of 12 people on this distinguished list while representing Bangladesh at an Indian fashion show.

The Guinness Book of World Records recognized this fashion show as taking place on the world's most crowded route. As a result of their involvement in this unique fashion event, 12 participants received the honour of having their names recorded in the book.

"It's a matter of great pride to have represented Bangladesh on a platform as esteemed as the Guinness World Records," the actress said of her triumph. The BGMEA was essential in my journey. I think our honourable Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and the people of Bangladesh are immensely proud of this achievement."

"I humbly request that everyone keep me in their thoughts and prayers in the future, so that I can achieve even more for our country, its entertainment industry, and the garment sector," she continued. This achievement is very noteworthy for our country since, to the best of my knowledge, this is the first time Bangladesh has earned a Guinness World Record using a model (my work). Soon, each of the 12 of us will receive an own certificate."

The fashion show took place in Umling La, India's highest drivable road, which is located at an incredible altitude of 19,240 feet.

The Ladakh Autonomous Hill Development Council, in partnership with the Ladakh Arts and Entertainment Alliance, staged this extraordinary event. This endeavour was supported by the Indian Army and the Border Roads Agency. The presentation featured models from 12 different nations throughout the world.

The Umling La Fashion Show, centred on the subject "Vasudhaib Kutumbkam" (One World One Family), aims to promote their culture in connection with the highly regarded Gi Tagged Ladakh pashmina cloth, according to the organizers.
