Moving away from everything familiar is not easy, but for Sunaina, it was the first step toward discovering her true self.
In June 2020, she made the life changing decision to relocate from Pakistan to the United Arab Emirates. The move meant leaving behind her family, close friends, and everything she once called home. But it also marked the beginning of a bold, beautiful new chapter filled with growth, independence, and self discovery.
“I knew it would not be easy, but I wanted more out of life,” she says. “Relocating gave me a chance to start fresh, to figure out who I really am and what I am capable of.”
Finding Confidence in a New Country
Starting over in a new country is not just about changing your location. It is about rebuilding your life. For Sunaina, this meant stepping out of her comfort zone, embracing change, and pushing through loneliness, fear, and uncertainty.
“There were days when I questioned everything,” she shares. “But each small win reminded me why I started.”
Through this journey, she found something powerful: a passion for content creation. What began as a way to document her new experiences slowly turned into something more meaningful. She discovered a space where she could express herself, connect with people, and turn her creativity into a full time career.
The Start of Her Digital Journey
Sunaina’s first content pieces were personal, raw, and honest. She shared her life, her outfits, her favorite skincare routines not because she had a plan, but because it brought her joy.
“Everything I posted came from a place of love,” she recalls. “Fashion, beauty, lifestyle. I just wanted to share what made me feel good.”
Her authenticity began to resonate with people. Slowly, her follower count grew. But more importantly, so did her confidence. She realized she did not need to fit into a mold to succeed. She just needed to be herself.
Breaking Into the Influencer World
The influencer industry is competitive and fast moving. For someone new to the UAE and without insider connections, getting noticed was a massive challenge. But Sunaina was not afraid to start small. She collaborated with local brands, took risks on creative ideas, and kept showing up even when results were slow.
“There were moments of doubt,” she admits. “But I reminded myself that consistency is more important than perfection.”
Her hard work paid off. Sunaina started getting featured on respected platforms within the UAE, gaining recognition for her unique style and voice. It was not just about pretty pictures. Her content felt real, relatable, and inspiring.

Today, Sunaina is focused on creating content that speaks to her audience. Whether it is styling outfits, trying out the latest beauty trends, or sharing moments from her day, she does it all with a genuine and down to earth approach.
Her Instagram and TikTok pages @insta_naina31 and @socialbutterfly0301 are filled with fun, vibrant, and aesthetic posts that highlight her personality.
But what sets her apart is her purpose.
“I want people to feel seen and inspired,” she explains. “If I can help someone feel a little more confident, a little more understood, then I have done my job.”
Life Now: Creating, Collaborating, Growing
Sunaina’s days are now filled with brainstorming, filming, editing, and working with brands. She is building a solid digital presence in the lifestyle, fashion, and beauty spaces and doing it all with creativity and consistency.
Each project she works on is more than just content. It is a step toward her long term goal of becoming a full time content creator and a trusted voice in the influencer community.
“I want to create a community,” she says. “Not just followers but real people who connect with me and grow with me.”
Real Advice from a Real Journey
Looking back, Sunaina has one powerful message for her younger self and for anyone else chasing a dream.
“Trust the process,” she says. “Stay consistent. Do not be afraid to take up space.”
Her story is proof that dreams do come true not overnight, but one bold step at a time. She believes that growth takes time, but every little effort adds up. You do not have to be perfect. You just have to keep going.
