{ SOCIAL MEDIA STAR OF THE WEEK } Bharat Gupta

Bharat Gupta, 34, has been part of the fashion industry for years, as a stylist and a writer. Not only did he style Miss Universe 2021 Harnaaz Sandhu, but he's also part of the jury of HT Brunch's annual list of top models.

So, when Bharat noticed that not even one model was spotted at the recent Anna Wintour Forces of Fashion event, he posted about models not getting their dues. "This, when models are the first people to bring clothes to buyers or people's eye. They play an essential role for designers but they get the least credit," says Bharat.

Gaga over Bollywood

"Internationally, fashion magazine covers feature models. But in India, any form of the arts eventually boils down to Bollywood because of its popularity. What's frustrating is that we found space for Bollywood celebrities and now, content creators, but we haven't found space for models," he says.
