A Tooth Fairy On The Ramp

Meet orthodontist Dr Alina Thomas who mends smiles and sashays on the ramp with elan, proving that professional life and passion can be balanced effortlessly

- DR ALINA THOMAS

Very few people have oodles of talent, good looks, the zest to achieve their goals, and do it with panache. Dr. Alina Thomas belongs to that rare clan as she knows no boundaries and the horizon just keeps getting wider and better. When one looks at her life and the realms she has scaled, it is evident that she has always embraced the lines, ‘to strive, to seek, to find and not to yield’, with all her heart. A dedicated orthodontist, she has always believed that irregularities of any form or in the experiences that life offers can be rectified.

A dedicated doctor, Alina was equally charmed by the fashion world and forayed into it. For this mother of a two-year-old kid, sashaying on countless runways is as easy as wielding a scaler or dental drill. With equal elan she straddles two careers – one where she sculpts beautiful faces, providing a service to people and the other where her talents and good looks scorch the ramp.

As a medico, Alina was not one to be immersed in books all the time. In fact, she paid equal attention to honing her skills, be it in acting, dancing or craft. She says with stars in her eyes, “I always wanted to be a doctor but the allure of the fashion industry never stopped appealing to me.”
