Early Life and Career
Shakira Caine, an actress of Indian origin and a former British model, was born on February 23, 1947, in Guyana, India, into a Muslim family. Her mother was a tailor, and Shakira herself dreamt of becoming a seamstress. However, fate had different plans for her. She once worked as a secretary for a boss in a company, and it was during this time that she participated in the Miss Guyana beauty pageant and won first place and the crown.
At the age of nineteen, Shakira moved to London and competed in the prestigious Miss World contest, where she achieved the honorable third place. Her talent was noticed, and she was offered a job at one of the top model agencies in England.

It turned out that a close friend of Michael knew Shakira's phone number, which was enough for determined Michael.
