Aditi Govitrikar is a gynaecologist by profession. However, she started her career as a model after winning the Gladrags contest in 1996. From 1997 until 2004, Dr. Govitrikar remains the only Indian supermodel with the both medical doctor and psychologist qualification. She has done notable roles in many Hindi and South Indian-language films and has also done commercials with several major companies including Coca Cola. She has been touted by a major daily as “Beauty with Brains”. In an exclusive interview with S&A, she shares her opinions on certain aspects of life as well as her fashion taste.
A few-line paragraph about you and how you started your career?
Modeling and acting happened by chance, I wanted to be a medical doctor which I was pursuing at Grant Medical College. A friend took a picture of me and showed it to her father who was working in an ad agency. He suggested that I have a very good chance as a model and an actor, that’s where my journey started. After winning the Gladrags Mega Model contest, I got a lot of offers for ad films followed by films, and the rest is history.What is the greatest learning you have ever had?
The one thing I have learned is that life is very precious. We waste our time in overthinking; either about our future or our past rather than living in the moment and enjoying what we have.
How would you define your personal style?
I carry trending attires comfortably, but I don’t blindly follow any trend. I accessorize myself with very simple accessories, I don’t dress over-the-top. Simple, Classy and Feminine outfits are my style mantra.
Your thoughts on fast fashion.
It is called fast for a reason obviously, it disappear as fast as it comes. So it doesn’t really make a dent as a trend in the fashion industry. One could just ignore it and let it exist, I am sure there are people who like it and follow it..so be it. Live and let live is my motto.
Which fashion trend will you be embracing this season?
The fashion trends of Neon green, Lime green, Sunshine Yellow are lovely and that’s what I am wearing this season.
How do you balance your personal and professional life?
