At Elite Model Look we say: “your differences make our world”. What makes you different?

I think I am different from others because I am honest, hard-working and focused to my aim.

What is your passion?

I love acting and playing sport. My favourite model is Diana Penty who was also discovered by Elite, she is doing really well. She is an actor as well as a model, and that inspires me. 

What is your favourite…

Inspirational quote: "Only I can change my life, No one can do it for me".

Sport: I was state level cricket player, and I’m really into fitness in general!

Vacation: Rajasthan. I loved that trip because I was with my brother and friends, and I love to visit those places which has very fantastic ancient history and Rajasthan is one of them. 

What is the best advice you ever got?

My father always used to tell me that do whatever you want and give your 100% in it. Keep trying till you don't get success. If you will work hard one day God will help you to achieve it. 

What was the last film you went to see in the cinema?

Venom.

What does friendship mean to you?

Friendship is something in which we can trust that person blindly.  We can share each and everything to our friend. For me friendship is one of the best relationships you can have!

How does it feel to represent India at the 35th Elite Model Look World Final?

It is an awesome feeling, like dream come true! I decided that I wanted to become a model, and I came across Elite. Some of my friends who had heard of Elite Model Look encouraged me to apply! I was following the competition on social media, and I saw a casting taking place, so I went! I can’t wait for the World Final, it would be amazing to win so I can make my parents and my country proud. I know it will be tough journey but I will try my level best! I have been watching videos on YouTube from last year’s contest when Mustafa took part, and that has helped me a lot. I have learned a lot from Elite Model Look already, and the best part is I am now more confident and now I feel that I know how to carry myself better than before.

Tell us about India!

India is an emerging global, scientific and technological superpower, with a diverse environment in flora and fauna. India is the largest democracy in the world, the 7th largest country in the world and one of the most ancient and living civilisations, people have been living in India for at least 10,000 years. It has lots of religions but unity is its strength. India is famous for lots of things. Its impossible to tell each and every thing.  But I will tell you few of them: hospitality 'AtithI Devo Bhava', spices, Taj Mahal, culture, Bollywood, Festivals, food and mathematics are one of them. India is a country where people respect elders. People of India live in peace and harmony. India is the only country where there are people of different languages, religions and race, but all of them live together in harmony.
