Enlighten us on your journey from Modelling to Karate Champion

My journey as a model begin with Miss India in 2000. Before that I did some intercollegiate shows and also some fun shows with friends. I always wanted to be in army or be a lawyer and the twist in my career completely changed my life. I was pretty much a tomboy in my attitude. Glamour - glitz of the modelling world did change me and my perception of being. Right from childhood the experience of a sportsperson was so strongly thriving in me that I joined martial art in 2004 and never looked back.

According to you who can be called a successful model?

A successful model is the one who inspires other girls as a role model . Not only does she have a great body but also a strong will to achieve a successful career and brand herself for future models to look upto her. In India Madhu Sapre was one such model I really appreciated.

what inspired you to join Karate?

Modern day romance The hook up culture

A hook up culture is one of casual dating which may or may not lead to a long term commitment. Messaging and phoning is rampant and to hook up a few conversations gets you into physical intimacy and contact. Talk over a cup of tea makes for a date. Earlier couples used to merit company through the family social circle or a group of friends. Now with the internet boom, social media and Facebook, dating sites have taken over. The individual has become a commodity. A branded site or just an advertisement for various products does the trick. It has become a point of ridicule that dating comes on a mobile app, and true love has indeed become a shopper’s delight. A hook up syndrome has led to a cultural change; just swiping a card and you get a pretty girl to date.
