Recipient of the Pride of India NRI Award 2025 by Celebrity Club of India and the Phoenix Award 2024 as “Global Influencer,” Reema is celebrated across continents for her dynamic contributions to film, fashion, healthcare, and community leadership. A biographical listee in Who’s Who of America, she stands as a rare blend of beauty, intellect, and purpose.
From gracing runways at New York and LA Fashion Week to starring in powerful films like Political War (released across AMC theatres and now on Prime Video) and Silenced (premiered August 2024), Reema brings stories to life on screen and stage.
