During my graduation in Delhi I went for Femina Miss India Campus Princess auditions where I made it to the top six finalists. It made me realise that I could try my hand in modelling, Also, I feel lucky that my family supported and encouraged me a lot to pursue a career in the field.
Describe your journey in the “Kingfisher Supermodels 3”.

In fact with every task and challenge, I felt getting better and refined as a model and learned a lot throughout. Initially, I never thought of winning the show but when I won the pageant, it felt fantastic and motivated me a lot to go further.
In modelling fitness is of prime importance. How do you achieve that?
I always try to maintain a balance between my diet and workouts. I workout in varied ways. Sometimes I do yoga, sometimes I hit the gym and sometimes I run a lot. But when I got selected for Supermodels , my body became my first priority because Kingfisher is all about swimwear and one needs to have that perfect body for the same. So I started attending the gym regularly sometimes twice a day as I needed to have minimal amount of body fat levels for the show. As for my fitness regime, I always start my day with green tea. I drink a lot of water as it is really good for the skin. I eat a balanced and healthy diet like boiled eggs and chicken and avoid junk foods to keep the extra calories away.
