So tell us something about your early life?
I grew up and went to school near Düsseldorf, Germany. Later I went to Australia for my further studies and work purpose. I also have stayed in Bavaria and then after sometime moved down to India…!
How did you bumped into modeling?
Bumped?! I am born…! (Laughing) It wasn’t that easy for sure. When I was a teenager, a neighbor was working for a known fashion company who one day asked my parents to allow me to do a campaign for them. But after few shoots I losing interest and preferred to opt for soccer instead. Later when I came to India, I decided to give it a shot and fortunately things went good, I got enrolled with Karma Modeling Agency and gradually the seed of my success started budding.
So you always wanted to be a model? If you had not been a model what else would have yearned for?
Honestly, some confidence existed inside me since my childhood. Something which always let me believe, I can do it!! That I became an international Model is certainly because of the mix of a lot of luck and strong thoughts.
When I was a kid, I always wanted to become a doctor to help people. But for first time I viewed how a baby is born in a hospital, I wasn’t sure anymore that I will be able to do that. So later I choose to study Business Ethics with the Idea to open my own NGO…….. One day.
What do you like to do when not modeling?
If I get the time then……. for sure I am known as a big Party animal. To keep my self fit, I do involve myself in various kinds of sports …….soccer is my all time favorite; I also bought my first cricket rack few weeks back. I am presently learning Hindi, Yoga and Rekhi. I actually dream of spending a day on the beach in Goa, doing nothing.
Which designers have you walked nationally and internationally?
Many…… starting from Rohit Bal to Armani.
What’s your take on Indian modeling industry? How has been your experience in this industry so far?
What you expect if you mix a crazy country with a crazy industry?!? (Laughing) It’s for sure different from other countries, in every aspect. But my experience here is mostly positive, for which I would completely credit the friendly Indian people who have supported me so much. Thanks.
What is fashion for you?
Fashion is Passion.
Modeling comes with such a short shelf life. So what plans have you held for future?
Now I am a model, but I am very much aware that it’s a temporary career option. So later I would really wish to opt for acting.
What is your idea about an ideal date?
If you find the right person, every date seems perfect!
Whom do you consider your icon in life? 
Jesus, Buddha, Krishna………
