Quotes
"I schooled in Himachal Pradesh. I had taken up science and, initially,
wanted to become a doctor. There are few career options for students of
science though, so I shifted to Delhi and decided to try theater
instead. I joined a group called Ashmita, and did two plays there --
Madhavi and Rakht Kalyan. As I was still unsure of what I wanted to do,
I began sending photographs of myself to advertising agencies. I even
took up classes in French because I thought of shifting to Paris, where
models have always had a chance." (5-4-2006)
