Precisely because I think we lack the global knowledge of all these new trends.

I am confident our country will allow people to accept who they are and celebrate all body types.

Q:What elements do you bring in every shoot to make the picture memorable ? A:A huge dose of personality. The shoots are some times really difficult especially if you going through a a bad day. But as an International Model, your task is to ‘get the shot’ you will deal with life later. Also, ease up a little, have fun, make jokes, enjoy

Sometimes you wake up and become an International Model and sometimes you have to go to many auditions. Whatever happens, keep consistent and keep pushing away negative comments. Our Industry is only alive because of you. Your dream to become a model needs to stay as this is what will change the World. Yes, we can change traditional beliefs, Yes we will have doubt and Yes we are changing the culture one day at a time stay different, stay brave!
