The third edition of the backstory is here! This time, we're going with a subject that, at some level, appeals to every girl {and to most guys, even though they might not admit it.} We're talking about fashion and one thing is for sure, even if the industry in itself doesn't appeal to men, the gorgeous lady in question certainly will!
This Bengali beauty was born in Muscat, got a degree in Economics from Jawahar Lal Nehru University and wanted to become a lawyer. At 18, she took on her first modelling assignment and, being the natural that she is, hasn't looked back since. Having walked for the likes of Ritu Kumar, JJ Valaya, Rocky S and Namrata Joshipura, she has also endorsed brands like Lakme, Allen Solly and Monte Carlo, in print and on television, and has starred in a music video with Euphoria.
