Cindy, who was born in Holland, said: "When I saw Justin was asking about me I got very emotional because I've been a fan of his for more than six years.
"It seems like a fairytale. A friend of mine often used to joke that one day I'd be one of the girls he talked about and I didn't believe her. My life's changed positively since Justin appeared in my life. At the beginning I felt completely overwhelmed and didn't know how to deal with it but now I'm getting used to it," the teen said.
Since being thrown into the limelight, she has gained hundreds of thousands of followers on Instagram. Now followed by almost 700,000 fans on social media, she insists she intends on keeping her feet firmly on the ground and will be concentrating on her studies.

"I've had a lot of job offers since all this happened. I'm constantly receiving calls offering me things, but I'm focused on my studies and fashion commitments I'd already made," she said.
The brunette beauty has been compared to Cristiano Ronaldo's ex, Russian model Irina Shayk, who also turned heads at Madrid Fashion show a few years ago.
Cindy claims she was "delighted" to have been compared with the likes of Irina and Angelina Jolie. "I love both of them." She added: "My mum's happy for me with everything new that's happening in my life. She already knew I was a fan of Justin's. She's always urging me though to stay focused on my responsibilities with my studies and keep my feet on the ground."
