Graceful and gorgeous... That’s Eugenia Belousova, a professional dancer and model from the south of Russia. At the verdant Westin Mumbai Garden City, the head-turner reveals her love for massages and workouts, and stresses on the importance of a healthy lifestyle.
Walking into the huge lobby of The Westin Mumbai Garden City, Eugenia Belousova looks as fresh as a daisy. Having recently shot campaigns for M·A·C India, Faces Canada and Sabyasachi, she’s been living life in the fast lane. But the signs of her busy schedule barely show on her. We wonder what the secret behind her radiant appearance is, but not for long. Soaking in views of the city from the bright Chairman Suite and sipping on a cup of green tea from Westin’s SuperFoodsRx Menu, she gradually lets her guard down. Eyeing the massive Westin Heavenly Bed that is uniquely designed with pillow-top construction for premium comfort, the leggy model reveals that when she’s not travelling for her assignments, she avoids going out and prefers to catch up on sleep. After a healthy breakfast, we proceed to the swimming pool, Splash, which resembles a tropical lagoon. Here she reveals that a detox isn’t limited to diet alone. She believes that while social media is great for connectivity, overexposure can be detrimental. And that’s why she suggests limiting access to social media accounts to just once or twice in a day. Clearly, Eugenia is much more than just a pretty face...
What drove you to become a model?
I should thank my friends for my career in modelling. I was 15 years old, listening to punk rock, and had never considered modelling – even remotely. But, life has its own plans. With the encouragement of my friends and parents, I enrolled with a modelling agency and was sent to Moscow for a magazine shoot. I went there with my mother because I had no idea about what I was getting into, but, after the first shoot, I realised I liked it, and could make a career of it. I’ve been travelling for work across Europe and Asia ever since.
