the work picked up and I realised that I could actively pursue something that I not only enjoyed but that also paid the bills. You’ve been popping up on our news feed quite a bit, whatt advice would you give young girls who aspire to be like models they see on social media? Advice I’d like to give young girls would be that while it is okay to admire and appreciate someone, don’t compare yourself to the people you see online. I believe there is so much beautyy in individuality and instead of aspiring to be like a version of someone you only see on social media you should instead aspire to be the best possible version of yourself. If you could say one thing to your younger self, what would it be? Don’t let the opinion of people, who know nothing about your life, affect how you see yourself. We think you’re a rising force in the industry, what advice would you give to anyone who wants to venture into the field of modeling? Don’t take rejections personally. You might get rejected for one project but be considered perfect for another. Also please don’t feel like you have to look a certain way to be a model, the industry is slowly becoming more inclusive as time progresses and brands are beginning to celebrate diversity in body types. Let what makes you different be your strongest asset. What has been your favourite campaign to have worked on so far? For me, the team I work with matters more than the campaign itself. I am very fortunate to have worked with a lot of amazing creative people in the industry and every campaign I’ve worked on thusfar has been a great learning experience in its own way which is why it would be difficult to pick just one as my favourite. How do you strike a balance between professional and personal life? I strike a balance by not bringing my personal problems to work or taking my work problems back home. Describe your skincare regimen in a few short lines? I wash my face three times a day, apply sunscreen first thing every morning, try to drink at least one litre of water every day and never ever go to sleep with make-up on. These few things along with reducing sugar and dairy from my diet have greatly helped improve my acne. Who is your role model and why? My mother is my role model because she showed me what

it means to be a strong woman by consistently stepping up during times of crisis for our family. She raised four kids on her own the first eight years of my life, in a foreign land whose language she couldn’t speak back then, as my father worked in a different city. Not only did she manage this but she also ran a school for children of Pakistani and Indian immigrants whose parents couldn’t afford to send them to expensive private schools. She projects a strong persona but she’s also incredibly soft and kindhearted as can be seen in the way she feeds stray animals, whenever she goes for her evening walks she has an entourage of stray dogs guarding her. The discipline I felt imposed on me growing up is what is now keeping my life stable as an adult and I am so grateful for her patience with me and for letting me go to find my own way in this world despite worrying about me as any mother would for her daughter.
TRAVEL
Ganga Talao Pay a visit to the sacred lake that is home to some of the most esteemed temples in Hinduism housed ‘in the crater of an extinct volcano.’ Many devotees come here to meditate and pray and are welcomed by the massive statues of Lord Shiva and goddess Shakti. The place has been visited by many heads of states and remains one of the most serene and exquisite spots in the foothills of the Mauritian mountains, a must on your itinerary! The sounds of temple bells mingled with the smells of incense sticks in the middle of the lake take you on a spiritual retreat. Black River Gorges Experience the rainforest life and go on an ultimate hiking adventure at the Black River Gorges, spread across the 2% area of the country. Visitors here feed the monkeys, watch the wildlife and relish nature - there are approximately more than 700 species of plant. Where it mostly rains on the peaks and gets super cloudy in the darker hours, the views from the top overlooking the rest of the island are particularly spectacular. The many roaring waterfalls and green fields give visitors a perfect opportunity to connect with mother nature and the wilder side of the island. Chamarel Seven Coloured Earths In the middle of the jungle, somewhere in the island’s South, lies the spectacular Seven Cloured Earths - one of the most visited attractions in Mauritius. The unique composition of sand and minerals decomposited from the molten volcanic lava is a real, natural wonder glowing in seven distinct colours - as the name rightly suggests! A few kilometers away are the Chamarel waterfalls surrounded by lust, green vegetation. Both the attractions can be seen together on a single visit due to their close proximity. Port Louis Being the capital of the country, Port Louis is the central hub for all the commercial and business activities with a very contemporary waterfront shopping and entertainment complex, featuring plenty of cafes, restaurants and hotels. Port Louis’s central markets with local food are evidently famous among the locals and tourists alike. The waterfront shares resemblance with Hong Kong’s Victoria Harbour to some degree and is ideal for a stay if you prefer to live in the city centre. Île aux Cerfs Hop on to a boat and make it to the Deer Island in the heart of Mauritius to explore some of the world’s breathtaking beaches and enjoy water sports. The speed boat rides are particularly famous since they cover pretty much all of the isle and take you to a massive waterfall and the nearby beach restaurants. Mauritian sunsets are particularly exotic and there isn’t a better way to witness them than the beach itself with rugged hills in the backdrop. Whether it’s the much acclaimed turquoise waters or an insight into its rich, colonial past, the very calm and exquisite Mauritius has something for everyone. The country is a must-see destination with tonnes of beauty, history and culture in the middle of the Indian Ocean.
