Lubna Adams , a leading Indian fashion choreographer, says apart from appearance, attitude and flexibility are also very important for newcomers hoping to make into the big leagues. For those born tall, the thought of becoming a professional model comes naturally. Plus, you know, glamour is attached to it, it sort of spoils you. For decades girls used to aspire for more sobre professions like teaching or medicine, but now that has changed. Many also see modeling as a stepping stone to the greener pastures of Bollywood, the world's largest film industry.
Money is another major attraction.
Fleur Xavier , Seasons 2000 Fall collection model and currently one of India's hotest Ramp model frankly sums up the whole proposition as why modelling is lucrative and attracting so many young girls to this profession. If I have to put in that much effort then I have to be passionate about it. So its a very lucrative 10 year line, because a modeling career lasts 10- 12 years.
