BIPANI SHARMA

We all have had playful desires to become someone when we were kids. But thoughts change, likes and dislikes change too, and likewise from a very early age I wanted to become a successful model. The world of fashion and glamour ignites within me an immeasurable passion– passion to face the camera and get creative with all sorts of stylish costumes and high-definition make-overs. As every other girl, I was always fascinated at the thought of getting stylishly decked up with a touch of glossy makeover and clicked by a professional fashion photographer. Of course, who does not like the idea of getting featured in a fashion magazine!

Having said that, I have been on the cover of a French magazine and also been part of several global fashion magazines. Even though these publications are the stepping stones towards my goal but I wouldn’t term any of these as a major turning point of my modelling career.

Although I didn’t have the chance to formally live my dreams, I do practice modelling now as a hobby and therefore plan to take it forward with good opportunities at the door.
