Revealed: Your ultimate guide to becoming Mankind’s Angel

Revealed: Your ultimate guide to becoming Mankind’s Angel

Taher Shah just released a video that chronicles the making of his viral hit 'Angel.' What can we learn from him?
Updated 18 May, 2016

Dear Taher Shah admirers,

You now have a blueprint for becoming an icon like the man himself.

Shah has released a behind-the-scenes video that chronicles the making of the viral sensation that is 'Angel'.

All's that left for us to do is just follow the leader.

Here are five tips you can take from Angel, to become one yourself:

1) Cultivate grace and poise

Taher Shah gracefully strolling over hillocks in his trailing robe oblivious to the tripping hazard it presents is an outstanding display of composure. No seriously, even Ashwariya Rai couldn’t carry herself that well on the Cannes red carpet! The child is following in just the right footsteps, literally.

2) Don’t be camera shy, make the camera fear you instead!

Who else noticed the drone was flying AWAY from Taher Shah? Talk about confidence goals. The way he ruthlessly glares into the camera, dominating it with his ‘angelic’ powers... it's an extraordinary display of sheer boldness. Slay, Angel, slay!

3) Embrace perfectionism

If you think producing a piece of art like 'Angel' is a piece of cake, you’re wrong. Recording under the scorching sun with the unsettling wind in your hair, dealing with melting make up and an umbrella that is of no use... all these things could sink even a seasoned professional. Regardless of the struggle, Taher Shah pursues perfectionism and teaches the same to his son.

Here is a quick look at how exacting he is.

4) Glamour is key

We’ve seen the devil wear prada before, but this time it’s the Angel. From attire to jewelry essentials, from hair to makeup, from the tiara to the sunglasses, everything must be on point. You can take inspiration from Taher Shah who swaps multiple looks in one video and convinces you of his fashion sense ever since he introduced himself as a star. From the hair flick in Eye to Eye to different representations of Mankind’s Angel in his recent production, Shah is all out for style experiments.

5) Hire a dream team (Taher Shah gets by with a lil help from his friends)

Taher Shah is NOT a one man army!

This met most of us with surprise didn’t it? Behind every successful angel are men questioning his very existence. These are the men we should now divert our attention to. Such dedication, devotion and faithfulness cannot be witnessed elsewhere. This BTS video shows us how it took a veritable army to make Shah the Angel he is today. From holding the umbrella in place throughout to keeping up with Taher Shah’s frequent retouch requests, from dealing with the child to even becoming part of this entire process, is one commendable effort altogther. All for just a cake, slow clap

All you aspiring artists out there, we hope you have been taking notes. Find the team that will support you no matter how redundant your idea is.

Remember, 'Anyone can be an angel'.

I've seen the video and he really put in an effort. I have been a legit fan of him. I know he can get pretty comical and funny but the lyrics are come from a nice place, and he aims to spread a good message unlike most mainstream music . More peaceful and influential people like him are needed in Pakistan. Wish people here were more accepting and open to different thinkings instead of resorting to mokery and insults

Taher Shah is the most impressive product of Pakistan and i am not joking when i say that. He, single handedly with " a lil help from his friends", brought some positive media coverage to Pakistan. For a few weeks, the world was talking about "mankind angel" in Pakistan rather than the "mankinds evil" in Pakistan.
