Early Life
I was born in a small town in India, a place where dreams were vast, but opportunities appeared limited. From an early age, I was immersed in a world rich with artistic influences. My father, a passionate music enthusiast, filled our home with the melodies of his songs at local shows, instilling in me an appreciation for creativity and expression that transcended traditional boundaries.
In contrast, my mother, despite limited formal education, firmly believed in the transformative power of knowledge and education. She sacrificed greatly to provide me with opportunities she herself had missed, instilling in me resilience, ambition, and an unwavering belief in my potential.
Initially, I pursued Commerce and aimed to become a Chartered Accountant to fulfill my mother’s wishes. However, not passing the CA exams became a pivotal turning point rather than an ending. I transitioned into the financial world, gaining valuable experience in the stock market and earning certifications in commodities and foreign exchange. This path led to a successful career in finance, and later, an enriching experience in international film markets, where I attended prestigious events like Berlinale and AFM as a Sales Coordinator.
Despite this success, I always felt a calling toward a more creative form of self-expression. Driven by a deep-seated passion for the arts, I bravely stepped into modeling. Embracing this newfound path wholeheartedly, I enrolled in acting and dance academies, immersing myself in creativity. Collaborations with talented photographers and artists soon followed, each nurturing my artistic vision and encouraging me to pursue my passion unapologetically.
From that moment onward, my life became a continuous journey of artistic exploration, guided by authenticity, creativity, and a steadfast belief in the limitless possibilities of art.

Modeling & Pageantry
My journey into beauty and pageantry commenced in 2015 when I proudly earned the title of Miss India Bikini. This significant win opened doors internationally, allowing me to represent India at the prestigious Miss World Bikini Model 2015 competition in Malta, marking the start of my global modeling career.
The following year, 2016, became a defining period in my pageant experience. After securing the national title of Miss Glamour Face India, I went on to achieve international acclaim by winning the Miss Glamour Face World 2016competition in Berlin, Germany, triumphing over 22 talented contestants from around the world. Additionally, that same year, I was honored to represent India at the Miss European Tourism 2016 competition, once again held in Malta. These experiences provided an invaluable platform to showcase my cultural roots and artistic talents on an international stage.
In 2017, I continued my journey by competing in the World Swimsuit Model 2017 competition. Advancing to the finals and securing a position among the top contestants reaffirmed my path, empowering me to challenge societal standards and redefine conventional perceptions of beauty and womanhood.
These milestones have been instrumental in my personal growth, fueling my confidence to remain authentic and true to my core values. Each pageant, photo shoot, and artistic endeavor strengthens my unwavering dedication to art in every form.

Awards & Recognition
Throughout my journey, I have been honored with numerous prestigious titles and awards, each reflecting dedication, passion, and a celebration of both beauty and excellence on global platforms.
My path began with a remarkable victory as Miss India Bikini 2015, closely followed by representing my country as Miss World Bikini Model 2015. These early successes were pivotal, propelling me further into the spotlight.
In 2016, the momentum continued with my recognition as Miss Glamour Face India 2016, subsequently crowned Miss Glamour Face World 2016. That same year, I had the honor of representing India as Miss European Tourism India 2016, showcasing India’s rich culture and heritage internationally.
The journey reached another exciting milestone in 2017 when I was named Miss World Swimsuit Model India, proudly advancing as a Finalist for Miss World Swimsuit Model 2017, further cementing my position on the global stage.
Beyond modeling titles, I am humbled to have received notable awards recognizing my broader contributions to society. In 2016, I received the International Women Excellence Award presented by SUNFO, and the esteemed Award of Excellence from the World Peace & Diplomacy Organization in November 2016 in Colombo, Sri Lanka.
These accolades are not just personal achievements; they are a testament to the support, love, and encouragement I’ve received from supporters and mentors worldwide. Each recognition inspires me to continue embracing excellence and to positively impact every venture I pursue.

Movies
In 2021, I expanded my creative horizons by stepping into the world of cinema with my acting debut in the film Code Kampen, directed by the talented Julius Hartman. In this thrilling film, I portrayed the role of a secret agent, bringing intrigue and depth to my character.
This new artistic endeavor allowed me to explore storytelling from a fresh perspective and showcased my versatility as an artist beyond modeling. My experience in front of the camera, coupled with a deep passion for performance and storytelling, made acting a natural next step in my career. The journey through cinema has just begun, and I’m excited about future roles and opportunities to further express my creativity and connect with audiences worldwide.

A Journey of Passion, Purpose, and Artistic Freedom
For the past 12 years, my journey through modeling and fine art has illuminated a profound truth: true fulfillment often lies beyond conventional paths. Choosing the path of a fine art nude model, especially in a culturally traditional country like India, presented immense challenges—criticism, judgment, and societal pressures frequently confronted my decisions. Yet, every critique and obstacle became a stepping stone, deepening my resilience, authenticity, and artistic vision.
Guided by an unwavering belief in self-expression, I refused to allow external opinions to define my art or my identity. My artistic approach specializes in embodying Indian classical paintings and sculptural aesthetics, capturing a fusion of heritage and mythology. I’m particularly known for my distinctive portrayal of the elegance and spirit of Khajuraho’s temple dancing goddesses, blending tradition seamlessly with contemporary creativity.
My artistic presence has been recognized and celebrated internationally, having collaborated with over 700 photographers worldwide, including acclaimed professionals affiliated with the Professional Photographers of America (PPA), Photographic Society of America (PSA), and Fédération Internationale de l’Art Photographique (FIAP). Renowned photographers such as Barbara Jankin, Romain Nero, Peter Gedeon, and Eric Von Schulthess have captured my distinct style, leading to publications in prestigious national and international magazines and exhibitions in renowned galleries globally.
Through this incredible journey, I’ve embraced and celebrated my body, individuality, and creative voice. Each captured moment represents a fearless statement of empowerment, authenticity, and unapologetic self-love. Ultimately, I’ve learned that art is more than what you create—it’s fundamentally who you are. This belief inspires me every day to continue exploring, expressing, and celebrating artistic freedom with passion, integrity, and purpose.
