She has been on the fashion scene for over three years now and has walked the ramp for almost every Indian designer.  She is a desi chic with a level head and an appetite for laughter.  Coming from an army background she has that air of discipline in thought, belief and action ingrained in her. It is not in her nature to be part of controversies or hurt the feelings of another soul.

She likes to generate that aura of positivity that leads her towards her work and for the good fun in life. Meet the girl who tries to shrink away from idle chatter and loose talk but loves to hang out with her friends and family. She is the Delhite, Aanchal Oberoi.

Family and Academics…
I was born and brought up in New Delhi and I’m still staying here with my family. I have done my schooling from Bluebells International, New Delhi.

Parent’s reaction to your choice of modeling as a career…
My parents were not conservative at all to my choice of career, rather they were quite liberal. They believed in my decision and stood by my choice. They wanted their children to have the freedom to choose their line of work and adopt the profession they want to follow. All through my career they have always been very supportive and motivated me to do everything to the best of my abilities.

First modeling assignment…
My first modeling assignment was with the designers Tarun Tahiliani and Satyapaul doing their catalogue shoot.

Greatest achievement till date…
I am still very young and have a long way ahead of me so no great achievements for me yet, just small milestones on my journey.

Idea of an ideal date
I would go for the old time romantics. For me an ideal date would be a candle light dinner sitting by the beach with nice soothing music and a good looking, decent and well spoken guy for company.

When not modeling what are you most likely to be found doing…
If not modeling I am basically chilling. I just love doing the regular things like hanging out with family and friends, watching movies, shopping and visiting new places.

Five essentials for a model to climb the ladder of success…
. Discipline and hard work
. Commitment and loyalty
. Honesty and dedication
. Self confidence
. Patience

Views on Indian vs. Western models…
I think Indian models are blessed with sharp features; great bodies and beautiful skin .They are also far more versatile and have greater adapting abilities than their foreign counterparts.

The most touching moment of your life…
I don’t have one such moment to tell…I feel it’s just so touching to watch my parents shower so much unconditional love on me each and every day of my life..

The British fashion designer, Alexander McQueen, reportedly committed suicide days after his mother died. He was 40 years old.  His office confirmed his death stating, “It is a tragic loss. We are not making a comment at this time out of respect for the McQueen family.”

The designer was left devastated when his mother passed away on February 2. He admitted he was having trouble dealing with her death, but was committed to moving on with his life.

“i’m letting my followers know that my mother passed away yesterday if it she had not me nor would you RIP mumxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx but life must go on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (sic),” he wrote on his Twitter page.

McQueen started making dresses for his three sisters as a child and left school at 16 to pursue a career in fashion.

He eventually received his Masters degree in fashion design at London’s prestigious Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design.

In 1996, he was appointed the head designer at Givenchy, where he worked until March 2001. He then founded his own eponymous label and has since won countless awards. He went on to be awarded a CBE, as well as being named International Designer of the Year at the Council of Fashion Designer Awards.
