Now, following golf as a religion and modeling as dotage, we nattered with Daphisha Shullai to get a skinny on her not-so-ordinary life.
Tell us briefly about your journey so far by now?
As of now I’m new in this industry. I started working in December but it has been a wonderful experience. Meeting new people and hitting new shores everyday is quite evolving .I feel the difference in me, I’ve become more confident and decisive.
When and what was your first modeling assignment?
It was the mid of December last year that I bumped into my first assignment. It was a bikini show which I was very much apprehensive of. But finally when I saw the clothes, it turned out to be a big sigh for me as nothing was much revealing about them for an introvert like me. At the end of the day, I loved the experience and had loads of fun.
What did you aspire to become as kid?
My entire childhood went around my mom and dad playing golf like a religion. Moreover, I am lucky enough to have the world’s third natural golf course in front of my house so I grew up intending to be a golfer which I directed every ounce of my energy and will into but somewhere way deep down, I was fascinated towards modeling too. So I played a safe bet and chose to straddle my passions.
Which shows( designers) and commercials have you graced with your presence?
Rana Gill and Bata print add.
Your greatest achievement?
I was the only lady golfer to reach the semi finals of the Signature Golf Tournament for the Eastern zone and I think it really motivates me every time I remind it. And moreover, I got the longest drive.
What do you think of bollywood as a career option?
Acting is not my cup of tea. I am quite happy where I am right now but let’s see may be in the future, I might improve my Hindi speaking skills and acting.
When not modeling what are you most likely to be found doing?
Hanging out with my friends, playing golf and going for a long drive.
Any social cause that you feel strongly for and want to be( or you are ) associated with?
My grandmother, who is a Padmashree award winner for social work, runs a school for the children from lower socio-economic backgrounds and the broken homes. I am too a part of the project to help the kids in learning and teaching along with my mother, sisters and grandmother as well.
What has been the most touching moment of your life?
I am a very emotional person but the moment when my sister gave birth to a beautiful baby girl after 10 years of marriage and going through a traumatic and life threatening experience.
Your icon/ role model in life?
That would be my mom who has a heart of gold. The way she cares and loves us, makes her the most adorable and venerable for me. She has always been there for me through my thick and thin. She is a motivating wife, wonderful mother and a brilliant teacher. I wish I could be half of what she is.
Your beauty regime?
I make sure I do my cleansing, toning and moisturizing everyday. Besides, fresh fruits and plenty of water work wonders for one’s skin and body. Moreover, I do my gym regularly.
