She began her career as a dancer dancing for the likes of Kanye West and Guns N’ Roses. She was working as a back-ground dancer on the sets of a Bollywood film in Mumbai when she was scouted by a modelling agency bringing in a five-year contract with Lakme, India’s highest top end cosmetic company as its brand ambassador.[1] This launched her career in modelling as she went on to do assignments with reputed brands like Satya Paul, Miss Sixty, L’Oreal, Sketchers, Nokia and Olay among others, besides participating in fashion shows with designers like Alison Kanugo and Neeta Lulla.
