A 22 year old Libran, I’m a simple guy…prefer home food…staying home…read a lot…..very careful about my body….a little stubborn sometimes…and think a lot at times….about life and goals n stuff…you might even brand me as too thoughtful… otherwise…calm…..not a party person really….handful of friends.. I hate people with attitude….always down to earth with whatever little I do…I recently finished work on myself and have successfully made a transition for being the leaner me to the muscular me.
If you want me to list out, that I have done in the eight months in this field, I think I can sum it up to something like this:
On the fashion scene, I was part of Men’s Week, Karan Johar- Varun Bahl Couture Week , Will’s Fashion Week , Cosmopolitan film fare shows,…n loads of ramp shows…during various fashion weeks..for a number of designers… Rohit Bal, Rahul & Rohit, Varun Bahl, n loads of them..I’m bad with names…haha..
In advertising, I was with Panasonic and in the Tommy Hilfiger card launch. For Print, I have shot with Men’s Health, The Man and M magazine. I was also part of catalogue shoot Varun Bahl, Tahir Sultan…n stuff.
Oh I have also worked for the Hero Honda commercial, home shop and Zoom TV. All this in 8 months…n a lot more…which I can’t recall…lol..
Family and Academics… 
I am an all in all Delhite… my parents essentially are from Haryana, however I was born and brought up here in Delhi. Well academically I am about to finish my final year doing automobile engineering, my bro too is an engineer.
Parent’s reaction to your choice of modeling as a career…
Well my decision initially came as a shock to my parents..tell you the real story, I come from a background which has always has been firmly rooted in academics and my out of the blue decision to enter modeling was rather disconcerting to my parents in the beginning. However as they started to see my growth and the way I moved ahead in the field they were reassured and happy. Also the recognition that I won was also a welcome factor in the family.
First modeling assignment…
My first modeling assignment was something that was arbitrary, yet it was my initial step in this field even if it was just a chance occasion. My induction in this field occurred with a show for a fashion institute in Delhi at NIFT for their annual fest.
Greatest achievement till date…
I think that my true achievement in this field was the way I worked on my body and changed my persona from the leaner and thin guy to the carved sculpture everyone appreciates now. Also in 
just a time span of two months I became a pool model and was picked up by numerous designers to showcase their collections. All this has been a stupendous accomplishment for me.
Idea of an ideal date
Well I’m a rather lazy person when it comes to dates. I think an ideal date for me will be me sitting at either mine or her house and chilling out with some good conversation and food. Also, I find that going out for a date is rather distracting and one can’t exactly place their mind in one place for a good soul session.
When not modeling what are you most likely to be found doing…
Oh! As I already told you that I am an engineer in the making, I have enough exams happening every alternate week to keep me occupied. Apart from coping up with those I love to hang out with friends and work out at the gym.
Essentials for a model to climb the ladder of success…
- Attitude
- Look
- Networking
- Intelligence
Views on Indian vs. Western models…
I think that the grass is always greener on the other side. Both Indian and western models have their own respective markets. Some think that western models are fairer and taller which is a better combination for modeling however there is no comparison to the Indian beauty. However, when we talk of the fashion scene it is not just India but the whole world and fashion itself has manifested in India as an imitation of his western counterpart. So there is always something to learn from them for our fraternity.
