I was born and brought up in Delhi. I am currently pursuing a Bachelors' degree in Philosophy.

In 2005, I was crowned Miss India, as well as Miss Tourism World. I was the first Indian to win the latter.

Unfortunately, our tourism board was not involved in this. So I could not take it further or do anything for the tourism in India. When I won, Renuka Chaudhary was the Minister of Tourism, but I could not meet her.

Tell us about your modelling career.

My parents did not want me to pursue modelling. But I went ahead and took part in the beauty contest. When I won it and got international recognition, they realised it was a respectable job.

I did not have to look for work after I won the title. Modelling assignments came to me. I became the brand ambassador for Ponds. I did many commercials like Diet Pepsi, Hero Honda Passion and Nokia.
