Tell us something about your early life and academics?
I was boyish in the most literal way, bruised knees and not the cutest kid lol…. I finished my 12th somehow, it’s beyond me to study but I haven’t stopped learning though.
The dazzling heights you touched make you stand apart from the rest. From being a simple starry eyed lasso to a ramp scorcher, how modeling happened to you?
Its not easy to be an oriental looking model in the Indian modeling scene, my looks are far from the conventional look so that was and is still my biggest challenge, but only losers give up and I am not one. The fact is that my passion is stronger than my setback which sets me apart.
Having been in one of the most glamorous industry how do you see fashi

When and what was your first modeling assignment?
I started modeling in 2008 as a teenager and my first assignment was a fashion show in Delhi for some trade fair, I can roughly remember.
What’s your take on Indian modeling industry? How different you find it from its global parallels?
