While you were not looking, Rahi Chadda took over the modelling worlds in two continents. We help you get acquainted with the model of the moment in ten easy steps
1 HE HAS A BRIT PASSPORT BUT CALLS HIMSELF AN INDIAN
“When I look into the mirror, I see an Indian looking back. When I am in India, it feels like the lines of ‘feeling Indian’ have become so blurred, and you can live anywhere, wear anything, eat anything, and still feel like one.”
2 HE PRETTY MUCH STUMBLED INTO THE WORLD OF MODELLING
“I was in college when a photographer friend who was starting out suggested we do some pictures to add to his portfolio. When the photos went up on his Instagram, they got over 11,000 likes in less than two days. Life pretty much changed overnight for me then.”
3 HE’S DONE TWO KINDS OF LFWS
“I remember how I got a lot of backlash for my looks when I first came to India around four years ago. I was so shattered. You have to beat that mental exhaustion and self-questioning to arrive at a phase where you are confident in your skin. The journey has seen me walk at both, London Fashion Week and Lakmé Fashion Week. Each has been unique and special, and so was the time I walked for Manish Malhotra in London.”
4 HE CAN PROBABLY WRITE A MODERN-DAY VERSION OF A TALE OF TWO CITIES
