USP: "I think my strength is my height," she says, "and my narrow structure. I think it fits the look most designers have in mind."

Expert speak: Choreographer Alison Kanuga says she has a very fresh-looking face. Choreographer Aparna Behl likes her pretty face, clear skin, tall and elegant profile. Another designer says Penty has good bone structure, is lean, bordering on anorexic, and walks well. He adds that she has tremendous potential.

Fitness regime: "The truth is I have always been on the smaller side," says Penty. "When I was younger, I went through a phase when I desperately tried putting on weight. Today, I can use this to my advantage. I eat everything under the sun and more than any of my friends! I workout and used to do yoga. I must confess that I don't need hard workouts to stay in shape though."

Why she loves being a model: "It's a good feeling to be recognised..."

The dark side of modelling: "You're always under scrutiny. You have to be ready to be judged at all times."

Overall rating: 7+ out of 10.

The WLIFW experience: "It was amazing, working with the best professionals in the industry. It was hectic, but great. There was phenomenal exposure. Of course, there is pressure to perform, but that is part of the game."

Shows she did: Cue, Deepika Govind, Krishna Mehta, Rocky S, Suneet Verma.
