Past
I was an introvert at school..most of my time was spent either in the library or in the painting room. I also stood back in the line at school because I was the tallest. There is a connect? Anyway, it was ridiculous!

Modeling
I like modeling because it allows me to travel..see new things..meet new people. I traveled to places like Ecuador, Zambia, Cannes..places I never thought I’d see.

Delhi
I am biased about Delhi- was born and brought up there. I think it gives one more freedom and space. It is more culturally inclined. And the most you can sit in a jam is 45 minutes and not 2 hours.

Future
I like the idea of modeling for personal reasons..like doing it for a friend maybe. I have done it for 9 years now. After a point there’s everything you’ve done…challenges get over. So once you’re done with all that, and the moment it starts becoming a job, it’s time to move on. I would love to do something in design and art, not clothes. I’d like to get back to maybe studying art again. In a year I’m shifting base to LA.

On the ramp
I’ve fallen many times! My worst fall was at Wills about 2 years ago. It was an acrylic ramp with rose petals and all. And I just fell. Many girls fell…it was like a chain reaction.
It always happens – one wrong step..ankle twist..stiletto comes off – you fall! People are used to watching it or are expecting it? Many in the audience find it hilarious…but it’s not. So you get up and walk on with a blank face or a smile. And later photographers ask each other did you get it? Did you get the fall? It’s no big deal.
