Model of the moment Bhumika Arora is taking the international runways by storm.

Bhumika Arora is the kind of unusual beauty who instantly commands your attention. Perhaps it’s her gentle disposition or her angular, sharply defined jawline. Maybe it’s the thick brows that frame her wide-set and piercing eyes, or her lithe gazelle-like physique. Perhaps it’s the whole package. Whatever it is, she’s got you thinking about her. This mix of uncommon beauty and an aura of mystery has put her on the radar of Karl Lagerfeld at Fendi, Nicolas Ghesquière at Louis Vuitton, and every other important brand(Balmain, Salvatore Ferragamo, and Stella McCartney to name a few) in between. And her career is only on the rise.

What Arora showcases in front of the camera, and subsequently shares with the world, is a trademark intensity for which she has now become famous. However, this intensity is just for the camera. Off-duty, she is animated and playful. “I feel good when I am conversing and connecting, and sharing stories,” she says.
