The industry's much quicker. The turnover with models - I cannot keep up. And in my day, we had so much personality. We probably caused a lot more trouble, but it was fun.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
In the early days of my modelling career, I think the industry was uncomfortable with how strikingly different I was.
Modelling wasn't a passion of mine, so that made it get old kind of quickly. I was getting very frustrated.
The entire time I was modeling, I was trying and failing at businesses. In fact, we would have started our business much sooner had I been more successful.
I never had an ambition to go into modeling, originally. I still can't believe how quickly it all took off.
I enjoyed working as a model a lot as it let me travel and I got to do some really interesting projects.
I did not particularly enjoy modeling. I felt I was only utilizing 10 or 20 percent of my abilities. In India, it's just another job.
Successful model? That's a myth. The year I modeled was the most painful year of my life. Editors would always talk to you in the third person as though you were merely a piece of merchandise.
I didn't think there was life after modelling, believe me. It's a hit to the ego when you are not the diva on the set any more. But I think what keeps me going are challenges. I love when people tell me I can't do something.
Modeling now is more about who I am rather than becoming someone else. I'm more brazen with what I do. I feel very comfortable in my shoes. I pick and choose what I want.
All of a sudden I was living what is perceived to be the model life. It was just full-on, 24 hours a day. It was work all the time. And there's always a party to go to.
