In the comment section of Instagram, a follower asked Thuzar if she was in Myanmar.
Another follower commented, saying Thuzar is now in London, where she works as a model.
Thuzar has signed a one-year contract with a modelling agency in London.
On Facebook, Thuzar said that she will miss the US, where she stayed to seek refuge for a few months. She also thanked some agencies and individuals who helped her during her stay in the US.
