I was the first Indian model to have a career in Paris, Milan and New York.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The whole time I was modeling, I had a place in Paris, and a place in New York, and I was really single.
I was always focussed on the modelling and succeeding in that, but now I'm completely focused on making it over in India in the movies.
I went to India, lived, and studied.
I was discovered in Paris when I was there on a school trip at the age of 13. After that, my mom came in contact with Elite Amsterdam; then I started modeling.
I never thought of a career of as a model, and it was a total surprise for me when I won the contest and became Miss Chelyabinsk. Then I started modelling in Paris.
I started as a model in Mexico - I was traveling, but my base was in Mexico City. And then I studied acting for three years.
One of the first times I came to New York was for a modeling and talent competition, IMTA, which I won. I came with a group, like a modeling school from Fresno.
I went to New York to be a model. That's all I wanted to be.
I wanted to become a model and an actress.
I am first and foremost an actress of Indian origin.
