A record company got in touch and preparation for a video was made.
After shooting a mediocre video, with the help of her dad, she released it in Pakistan, having no idea what was in store for her.The song became an instant hit, being ripped from the video and being sold privately, it became the most accessed Pakistani pop song on the internet for both 2005 and 2006.
She won the Most Wanted Song, Most Wanted Female 2006 and also ˜The Most Wanted Female 2008 at TMA (The Music Awards) by viewers choice and many more awards as her career progressed. Within the next year Bollywood Cinema moguls Mahesh and Mukesh Bhatt expressed their desire for Annie's Mahiya, for their upcoming movie Awarapan. She flew to India to record the song and video, before the movie release and consequently gained more fame and fan following from her neighbouring country than ever before.
After the success of Mahiya, Annie started working with various charities, raising awareness for education and health. Also within this short span of time, Annie became a household name and endorsed high profile brands, becoming the most popular female artist and the most Influential Teen in Pakistan to date! One of the many things that sets Annie apart from every one else is her curly hair, she is often imitated by her fans who love her hair and enjoy copying her styles.
