What inspired you to take up modelling?

Modelling was a hobby for me and I honestly never thought that I would take it up professionally. But I loved the idea of expressing myself through the art of modelling; it gave me the opportunity to be versatile. I landed up taking modelling a bit seriously after India’s Next Top Model.
