This seductive Ukrainian ramp scorcher took a complete departure from her family profession of medicine to take up modeling. And thank god for that! Her stunning looks and perfect body has set ramps on fire not just in her home country but also half the world away in India.
Here we get into the mind of the scintillating beauty and find out more about her…
Tells us something about your family and education?
I was born in a family of doctors. But I’m a student of the pedagogical university.
How supportive were your parents on you choosing modeling as a career?
My parents are always very sad when I have to leave home and go somewhere for my modeling assignments. But they have always been proud of me and my success in modeling. So, yes they are supportive but miss me a lot as every parent would do.
What was your first step into the world of modeling?
The first experience I had in modeling was participating in a show of wedding dresses. That time, I had absolutely no idea how to get on a runway and walk! But I managed to pull it off and that was the beginning of a new journey for me…
What all important assignments have u been a part of?
Well, I have done several campaigns for clothing brands as well as editorials like Cosmopolitan, Elle etc. There have been so many that I cannot remember all names! Sorry (giggles)
What, according to you, is the importance of education in the field of modeling?
I consider that each person must have basic formal education. It forms the basis and formation of everything we do in life. And contrary to popular belief, in our business too knowledge is very important.
How has your experience been in the industry? Are substance abuse and sexual abuse etc. as predominant as portrayed?
I guess it all depends on the person, situation and circumstances. While on the one hand, some unfortunate people become victims to these types of abuses. But, on the other hand, it also happens that people are themselves willing to give up their family, friends and morals to reach success.
So what is your New Year resolution?
As with every year, I am determined to learn more of modeling. I am open to new possibilities and progress in my quarry.
Tell us about your fitness regime…
I try to play sports mainly as that is what I enjoy the most.
Beauty regime?
My mantra is simple – Sleep well, eat correct food and be happy and in a good mood always.
Turning point of life?
I guess it would be when I first saw myself on a hoarding. It was a pretty big campaign and it made me realize that I am a known face now (smiles)
What did you aspire to become as kid?
As I mentioned earlier, most of my family members are doctors. So obviously, my childhood ambition was also to be a doctor.
