International Fashion Weeks for Women

With versatility as her strength, this Kolkata based model had started her journey at a very young age. Sonali Sehgal has won the Miss India International crown in 2009 and after that it has been no looking back. With her dad an army man and mom a business women, this English graduate is all set to rule the modelling world with her appropriate looks and attitude. Here's this gorgeous girl in candid one on one with Stylekandy.com Best thing about being a model Every model will agree with this one – we get to travel those amazing destinations, look pretty, wear astounding designer clothes and get paid for the same! Fashion for you. Fashion is something which passes from eras to generations. But at the end, it has to be there within you. Your fitness regime I am very bad in it. I simply hate working out. Luckily, I am genetically blessed with this figure. I know you won’t believe this, but I don’t compromise on eating. To keep myself fit, I indulge in swimming and dancing.

Walking the ramp or posing for print ads. Choose Ohhh honestly, I love posing for print ads and TV commercials as they allow me to perform well. At the same time I would not deny the fact that walking the ramp is just a different feeling walking in front of a live audience and presenting those gorgeous garments. But yes commercials are more fun for me! Models are used as a hanger. Agree or disagree? Yes I do agree, but at the same time, we add a lot more to the garments. I would like to put it in a way that we are the more expressive, sexy and beautiful hangers! Favourite designers I do not have any one favourite designer. It changes from time to time. While walking the ramp, I end up finding any one garment attractive, so I simply don’t go by the designer, instead fall for the designs and creativity of the garments.  

Foreign models getting preferences in Indian Fashion Week is a debate. Your take I have nothing against it even we are working in international fashion weeks and are welcomed there so I think everyone should be allowed to work according to their own preferences. It's a free world. As far as Indian models are concerned, they are given due respect. It’s totally cool with me after all there are very nice Indian models who have made it big in the global platform.

How do you cope with all the pressure, competition? Yes like any other profession, even we have the pressures and stress. There are times when we have to do a lot in less time at that time I just try to calm my self utilize the time in the right direction and perform well. Favourite pass time? Oh. I love to spend time with my six months old Labrador, Bounty. Like any other girl, I love to sleep, watch a lot of movies in theatres and simply enjoy hanging out with friends. Some thing that most people do not know about?  Hmmm there is nothing as such but yes, I want to confess that at times I can be quite mean and stern. What next after modeling? As I have just started, so it will be too early to comment on that. I am already in shows like Dadagiri on UTV Bindaas where I am playing the goddess. Alongside, I am also hosting a show called India ka Fashion Star on Zoom. These things keep me going, I am sure that I am here to stay.
