Little did she know that this assignment was about to change her life!
  • One day while on the job, one of her customers approached her with an offer to act in the adult entertainment industry. One of her first videos was shot where she was shown wearing a hijab! Soon after the release of this video, she started receiving ‘death threats’ from organisations like ISIS and other individuals.
  • Sarah Joe Chamoun had a dog named Mia and she was a fan of American rapper Wiz Khalifa. Hence when the time came for her to choose her screen name, she chose Mia Khalifa! She even created another screen name –Mia Callista, which also became quite famous.
