When and how did you begin modelling? Were you studying or working before then?
I began my modeling career in December 2015. I was scouted by a coordinator in my college. My first modeling was a print campaign for a clothing brand.
Why modelling when you could have settled in for a more stable permanent career?
It was my passion from childhood to become a model. I wanted to be an inspiration to others; alike others were to me, while I was growing up.
Tell me about your first assignment. If any how did it happen? What was the experience like (make this answer as personal as possible)
Well, it was all of a sudden project. I was in the 2nd year of my studies and though modeling was my childhood passion, I had planned to pursue it after college. But fate had other plans and I was scouted all of a sudden and within couple of days, we were shooting for a newly launched clothing brand. The shoot took place at waterfalls outside Chennai and at the beach. Till this day, I cherish the memories of that day, it was fun. It made me change my plans and go ahead into modeling full time.
What do you feel makes you a good model? Your face? Your body? Your attitude? As opposed to other s?
It is my confidence and the way that I carry myself in front of the camera. Face or body does not matter that much but what really does matter is how you bring life to the concept.
