The ebullient and fun loving Hida Siddiqui is another girl from Delhi who recently grabbed many dazed eyeballs at Wills Lifestyle India Fashion week. It was two years back this hottie landed on the ramp with her head high and chin talking to stars. Since then she has been a part of many fashion weeks and walked for almost every big name. So we talked to Hida Siddiqui to know more about her journey as a model.   

Tell us briefly about yourself?
Ummmm……I belong to Delhi and have grown up in protected family environment. I am Virgo so I keep seeking for more in my life. I believe one must keep trying and achieving his dreams being himself. I am high spirited and friendly and love to live my life in my way. 

How you bumped into your first assignment?
It was two years back that I met a photographer acquaintance of mine, Rony Kaula. I don’t know but Rony found potential in me to be a good model and he encouraged me for modeling. I got my portfolio done and my first modeling assignment came within the weeks and very soon I was called to be the part of an advertisement for Aaj-Tak. It was really a good start for me.

What was your parents’ reaction when you decided to be a model?
They were quite apprehensive as they were not sure of the career. But later when I started getting work they acknowledged my decision and now they are really happy with where I am. 

Which projects have you graced with your presence?
I have had done umpteen shoots and print advertisements for the likes of Provogue, Monte Carlo, Tanishq Jewellery, Ozone and many more. 

What do you think of bollywood as a career option?
It’s great only if I get a good platform and banner to work with.  

When not modeling what are you most likely to be found doing?
I will say working out in a gym and music are my favorite time pass besides spending time with my family and friends. 

What has been most touching moment of your life?
Nothing specific as every moment in life has something special or touching to it. I simply can’t prioritize my moments.  

What’s your take on the modeling industry in India?
I think this is a big industry and there is space for everyone here. If you are good then you will find good work or good work will find you.

What are the essentials to be a good model?
Good Networking Skills, Patience, Hard Work, Good Body, Right Attitude, confidence and Determination. 

Your beauty and fitness regime?
Drink loads of water. Be happy and enjoy your life.
