2. From studying history hons. to entering into the fashion world, tell us more about you?
I always wanted to be in the fashion industry. When I was pursuing history hons., I realized this is not what I wanted to do. Then I started taking part in various pageants, people criticized me for that but I was adamant to my decisions and see after facing so much criticism, I am running my own fashion and acting institute Indian school of Modelling and Fashion. Moreover, I always believe in the fact that “what is yours, will always be yours no matter what”.

I am very a spiritual person. Being a Punjabi Munda, I visit gurudwara daily, no matter what.
5. Whats’s your style statement?
My style statement is anything comfortable and i believe fashion & comfort go hand in hand.
6. From ramp to reality shows, tell us something about your fan following and criticism you have faced?
I think fan following is not the appropriate word in my case as I haven’t achieved anything that big yet but yes it feels so good when people admire you and your work. I feel overwhelmed when people praise me for what I am doing. And criticism is also very important as this gives you a boost to work harder.
7. Two things you can’t live without?
Dance and my mom. As dancing is into my blood and my mom is my life.
8. Tell us about your equation with your younger brother?
I would say more than brothers, we are best friends.
