1. Tell us about your journey in the glamour world.
I was interested in Fashion and modelling industry. It was my dream. I started my career in 1996. I participated in Miss Andhra and my mentor and groomer Kaushik Ghosh helped me with the process of preparation. Mr. Ghosh is a well-known groomer who trained famous beauty queens including Sushmita Sen and Aishwarya Rai. While being trained by Mr Ghosh, I found my passion in that field.
2. You are renowned beauty trainer and emcee. Can you narrate your experiences working in that field?
I did grooming for contestants in beauty pageants and fashion shows. My experiences as a beginner, under the guidance of Mr Kaushik Ghosh helped me in my process. The idea is to form a bond with fellow trainee and to have great rapport. Then, the participants you groom should find their inner self and confidence to face the audience. One cannot be a model forever, especially due to competition and other factors, but I wanted to be part of that industry I was so passionate about. I found passion in training the beautiful women in different contests, programmes and platforms. The experience itself is delightful.
