* › QUICK BACKGROUND .
her past is pretty irrelevant as far as she’s concerned . humble upbringings ( upper class parents that didn’t really show off their money , but it was there within company that madiha surrounded herself with ) often were misguided , she had nepo babies as friends , influencers as others –– her instagram follower count wasn’t high for no reason –– but , the farran name didn’t exactly show up on the first page of google . she was present within certain circles , found it easy to make connections if she really had to .
she’d always wanted to be relevant . dance classes , a few modelling & advert stints during her childhood … you name it , madiha had probably done it . been in your child’s favourite toy commercial , graced a window at baby gap , another at zara . did a few modelling stints , hit a few covers between 18 – 20 , and had a solid social media presence by the time she was 20 with both youtube and instagram .
applying for love island ( usa ) was something madiha never saw herself doing , but failed relationships only encouraged her to do so . also , what better way to put yourself out there ? live television . was the youngest person in the villa at 21 and left with not only the prize money , but also amassed more popularity than she’d ever expect . the relationship ultimately didn’t work out , but success after the show sky - rocketed madi into a status she didn’t have before . bigger deals , bigger brands , more money .
despite her relationship not working out on the show , people still consider her a fan favourite & overall sweetheart from her appearance on the series . did she ever mention she was a good actress ? stint on television was schemed , enough to make her appear like an angel when sometimes … she’s really not . always the one to follow the rules , sharing the final prize money with her partner , etc.
is a little bit tone deaf & out of touch sometimes ( think molly mae & her 24 hour comment … skfhsdhf ) and sometimes faces backlash , but ultimately digs herself out of it . three years after the villa , she’s still going strong . lives in manhattan , continuing to build a brand and empire for herself , not piggy backing off of her rich parents anymore . girl power ?
has two siblings , one older brother ( 30 ) and younger sister ( 21 ) who both live within walking distance of her apartment in manhattan . tries her best to see them within her ( and their ) busy schedules . is also relatively close w/ her parents ! they don’t talk often but madiha tries her best to at least see them once a month . two , if they’re lucky .
has two dogs , a three year old dalmatian named pickle and two year old finnish spitz named jasper . they’re both like her children , probably doesn’t want kids after being such a dog mom her entire life .
before her appearance in the villa , she did a year at nyu studying business communications & multi - media studies . dropped out after she heard the news , and never looked back .
loves a party , sunday morning brunch & shopping trips . also does yoga daily , pilates and enjoys going to the gym w/ her friends to work out with a personal trainer .
money isn’t really an object or problem for her – spends it like she knows it’ll come back into her bank account . also runs on the idea that any publicity is good publicity , and often has the attitude / publicised out - bursts to prove it .
* › WANTED CONNECTIONS .

“ no, why would you think that ? ” wouldn’t be the one to admit extension of an olive branch, but coffee was coffee, and erana’s company was better than none. “ i pulled you out of the rotting cesspit you call home for some human interaction. am i the first person to since new years ? ” –––– should they be so lucky !
