Maz took images of Eastenders star Nina Wadia on Friday 9th December when she visited Leicester for the Merlyn Vaz Christmas Tree Lights Switch on. Nina Wadia who plays Zainab Masood in the BBC1 show was invited by Leicester East MP Keith Vaz to light up the Merlyn Vaz tree, in memory of his mother, who was Leicester's first female Asian councillor. Nina is also supporting Keith Vaz’s Diabetes charity Silver Star.
Maz worked amongst crowds of fans who gathered at the Merlyn Vaz Centre in Spinney Hill Road. Maz really captured the excitement of the moments as crowds cheered as the lights came on and fireworks were set off. The atmosphere was palpable and really set the Christmas Mood. Nina said: "This is my first light switch-on and it's a very special thing to do."
Maz was keen to find out about Nina’s Christmas Storyline but Nina Wadia was very tight-lipped about the soap's biggest storyline which is set to reach a climax at Christmas. Maz comments “I was honoured to photograph Nina Wadia. She is a lovely lady, down to earth and very warm despite being such a big star. I really enjoyed photographing her.”
