We used to have chai breaks and all the fun things. Here, people are more professional. You're done with the shoot on time. You're on the shoot on time, just break for this much, and done, done, done, like that. Everything is set before you come to the shoot." Today she can boast some of the most prestigious tags that include being one of the top 10 fresh faces to know for 2016 by UK's Dazed & Confused. However, the idea of 'fame' still leaves her baffled.

She is the face of many fashions and beauty brands and has also been featured in several international magazines. "I moisturise my skin and wear lip balm. I do not wear any make-up. My in-flight beauty essentials are an Evian Facial Spray, an Evan Healy Rose Vetiver face cream and a Laura Mercier hand cream," which is the secret behind her beautiful skin. Rasika's ideal meal would be french fries and soup. According to her, the golden era in fashion was the '60s. Exciting changes in styles and fabrics made fashion more approachable and available to the general public. She adds, "I love the cat-eye. Edie Sedgwick and Jean Shrimpton are fashion icons of all time!" Rasika finds it riveting to know that Indian models are sometimes considered exotic and preferred for only specific types of shoots. Being surrounded by diverse people from places that were not considered the sources of great fashion now gives the fashion industry skilled artists," she quotes. The model married her longtime friend in 2021, and the couple have adopted two cats.

She is an Indian model, fashion designer and television host known for her bald looks on the ramp. Besides, Diandra was also a participant in the Colors TV reality show 'Bigg Boss 8'. Nevertheless, she got into the fashion industry on her own merits. After having schooling in Mumbai, she pursued her education at St. Xaviers. Madhu Sapre was the former Indian model who inspired Soares in modelling. Soares has been active in the field of modelling since the age of 16. Tips and Toes was her first assignment, and her first show was for McDowell's. In 1995, Diandra was crowned Miss Bombay, and that helped her to get contracts from various leading brands like Dinesh Suitings, VIP Lingeries and Tilbury whiskey. She has walked for many international fashion shows like Gucci, Leonard Paris, Emanuel Ungaro, Sonia Rykiel, and Miami Fashion Show. Designers opened and closed the fashion shows with Soares during the Lakmé Fashion Week. In September 2013, she shaved her head again. Soares commented that it was done for religious reasons, and by going bald, she felt spiritually empowered. She also added that her bald head might prevent her entry to many fashion weeks. She once again shaved her head during her session in 'Big Boss 8'. Soares was a contestant on the celebrity stunt show 'Fear Factor: Khatron Ke Khiladi' in its 4th season in 2011. She became one of the popular contestants and survived to the end and became the first runner-up. Soares became a contestant on the Indian TV reality show 'Bigg Boss' in its eighth season and was evicted after 12 weeks (Day 84). In 2016, Diandra made a web series called 'Do It Like Diandra'.

This plus-size model, who was born and raised in Texas, is quite proud of her transformation. She actually became aware of her body when she was 20. This plus-sized beauty has managed to garner newfound fame. During an interview, Liza Golden-Bhojwani said that she used to consume only 500 calories and exercised four hours a day. Liza Golden-Bhojwani started modelling at the age of 17. She was thin by fashion industry standards, but later she inspired several to gain weight. She struggled with gruelling diets that consisted of lean protein, steamed vegetables and healthy fats. Liza, who was skinny during her modelling days, started piling on those extra inches. She reminded the world to accept bodies of all size. Many clients started to complain about Liza's inability to fit into the tiny sizes they produced. There was a point in her life where Liza was taking only a few calories a day with 20 different vitamins. Liza Golden-Bhojwani was having a tough time socialising with friends, as it was hard to avoid food followed by binge eating that would lead her to fast for days. Earlier, this model was obsessed with her weight and used to work out rigorously for hours. Plus-sized model Liza said it's important to think before putting one's health at risk. Later, Liza decided to take some time off and focus on her inner happiness rather than calorie count and numbers on a scale. This model took two years off until she found her soulmate. She met her husband Karan Bhojwani on her “soul-searching” trip to India. Model Liza never stopped working out, but her continuous weight gain didn't bother her anymore. Liza, who was a dangerously thin runway model, said that it's hard to convince women to accept their natural curves. This model used to exercise five times a week with a trainer and maintained a healthy diet. She loves to indulge in her favourite treats such as pizza, cheeseburgers, French fries and ice cream. She usually eats out on weekends. Liza believes that there’s only one life to live, and she doesn't want to live it in fear. Model Liza is much happier now than she was at her thinnest.

That was when I knew that a platform like this existed, which fascinated me. It was something that I wanted to do, and I went forward with it," she said in an interview. During her reign, she went out to over 500 children and parents in some of the most marginalised neighbourhoods to raise awareness about child sexual abuse.

The digital creator has worked with the top brands just by sharing his true self with the world. Sriram comes from a family background of engineers and architects. However, he vividly remembers being bullied in school for looking different. To hide his shame, he took solace in applying skin-lightening creams to feel better about himself. He often was mistaken as poor or an employee working in a store. Despite all the differences, Sriram chose to look at himself with admiration. When he was in seventh standard, Sriram wanted to be a travel influencer. Although, destiny had some other plans for him. After he graduated his junior college, Sriram came to Mumbai to study fashion. During the Covid-19 lockdown, he wanted to experiment with his looks. He watched a Youtube video on how to click self-portrait. He started clicking photos without any fancy equipment. Sriram uses a blanket as a background and a study lamp to capture an image. He always preferred using mobile filters, which are common nowadays, to look prettier. Sriram wants to show his real self to people through art. He calls himself a toxic perfectionist when it comes to showcasing his art. Self-love and self-acceptance are harsh realities that people run away from today.
