With their glamorous appearance and model good looks, it's no wonder Sureet and Steve Kular have been nicknamed the ' Asian Beckhams '.
In fact, just like Britain’s most famous couple, both husband and wife may soon scoop top modelling titles.
It is an accolade policeman Steve is a little uneasy about, the Birmingham Mail reported .
He was informed while driving Sureet to the competition photoshoot that she had secretly put him forward for the contest’s male section.
With no prior modelling experience, the 35-year-old struck poses for a battery of cameras.
Now, the glamorous Oldbury couple have discovered they are close to being named the faces of Sharon's Couture, a company that specialises in Asian bridalwear .
If chosen next month from the 18 finalists, they will be used to promote the Smethwick firm’s creations.
It may be all new to Steve, but stunning Sureet is no stranger to the fashion world.
The mum-of-four was a former catwalk model, but quit when becoming pregnant with her first child, now aged 16.
The 35-year-old decided to come out of retirement after reading about the competition – and she’s not surprised by Steve’s success.
“Our friends call us the Asian Beckhams,” she laughs. “I didn’t tell Steve I’d sent in his picture, too.
“I waited until we got in the car – that was a bit of a ‘Hang on a minute’ moment – because if I’d told him before, he wouldn’t have gone.
“But, do you know what? He was a natural. He was so comfortable in front of the camera. He was better than me.
“His friends have been very supportive, and there have been no jokes.
“I always wanted to be a model, but things popped up.
“Then I read about the competition and thought ‘Why not?’ It’s certainly given my confidence a boost.”
Being the face of Sharons could effectively mean a wedding every month for the winners.
And that certainly appeals to Sureet.
“I didn’t get the wedding I wanted,” she admits. “My family weren’t there.”
Now Sureet, a beauty therapist, has the chance to wear the best outfits and visit the best location.
Just like the other Beckhams.
