Rising Star

-Vaidika Since

my childhood I am always been an all-rounder and participate in all kinds of sports activities in school and annual functions. My parents always supported me to do new things like I learnt dance, swimming, badminton, i was in athletics too And then in my 12th class I became sports captain then I am my mom suggested me to go for mass communication as I was outspoken and extrovert so I pursued mass com side by side I started posting my pictures on social media. People started liking my picture alot Then I got active more on social media and started posting my videos to and there my journey started as an influencer on Instagram and Facebook. To become independent financially I looked for a job in my last year of college and started struggling in my life as I was doing something which I didn’t like. But my love for digital creation get me going. I started working the whole day first 9 to 6 job then blogging work. Now I have reached to a 50 K plus family on Instagram and yes I still do my job for income because it’s stable every month and in influencing you love what you do but income is not stable sometimes you get collab sometimes you don’t which makes you depressed so it’s better you should do something apart from social media. Then I started going to gym, learnt yoga and also gave zumba sessions in gym in past 2years. I also do print shoot and I love modelling but people say short height girls can’t do ramp walk but I am going to remove this taboo from the society.

A Model in the Making -Ankita Sharma Somehow

you can say i was born to be a model.

Initially the girl i am talking about was a girl wrapped with few dresses and filled whole with dreams.

My journey of this path took place when i entre my college which is in Chandigarh, college was perfect and i wont deny that my first participation was there in the college but it was not a sucessful participation as i was excluded just cause i have dusky color but i didnt quit.

My inner Ankita sharma from the capital of Bihar was screaming that i wanted to be the part of that college fest.

Putting my self forward into this i enrolled myself in an event named *elevators global* which was going to organise an exhibition.

While these all were happening i was struggling with the so called society pressure “look she is dusky, oh does she drink??,look how she walk” Ignoring all these i was totally involved in my splendid passion.

My whole focus was just to frame a beutiful today so i could stand in front of myself and achieve whatever i deserve.

I was molding myself putting efforts,talking to people building my confidence.

My participation was in Miss Asia glamour 2020,Femina Miss India 2020 The virtual edition. Though journey is not over yet including my fam and friends i just want grow each second and learn each breathe.

Proving my old version wrong i proved this fantastic version of mine amaze and totally free from the negative world who judged me at various stages i focused more on the people who pushed me to walk not only on the ramp but on the real life.

Fashion is not just about how you look, evrything looks so shiny from the front of the door but once must feel the backstage part and you will come to know the reality.

Jo dikhte hain wo shayad bikte hain, lkn jo dikhaye jaate hain wo aksar aajmaye jaate hain.

Photographer Sumit Khanra fromKolkata PROFILE:

Hello, myself Sumit Khanra. I am a Kolkata based commercial photographer. I am pursuing this job for 8 years. After completing Pharmaceutical engineering, I chose photography as my career and I am very happy with this. Mainly my job is Calendar, Hoarding, Designer, Catalogue shooting, etc. From day one I tried to present the photographs in a different way and I am still trying hard.

CAREER GROWTH: Generally I did Street photography. After that gradually I started my job as press photographer and then as a project photographer of Govt. of West Bengal as well. Then I have started my career as a freelancer. In 2018 I won Eyewin Photography Award (Gold medal).

There is a huge difference between learning photography and the field work. And so to improve myself I started grooming myself by observing various photography of well-known photographers and started following them on internet… their method of capturing, their techniques etc. I followed Tarun Khiwal, Prabuddha Dasgupta, Atul Kasbekar, Peter Lindbergh, Louise Dahl- Wolfe and so on and still I am following them. Their work inspires me. I used to practice photography and light setting by using my friends as model at the starting of my career. This is how I gradually groomed myself.

Basically I love to talk with unknown people and explore unknown places as well. And to pursue this job I have to talk with various people and have to explore various places. So this is my passion now. I love my job and enjoy it a lot.

Tips: Observe photography but don’t copy. There is an immense happiness in invention but not in copying. Always think about your work. Don’t quit until you realise and enjoy your job. Thanks.

AnweshaDey (Miss Glam Icon India

2020) “Whatever the mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve.”

With this quote, I will start giving you all a glance of my journey. I’m basically from the “Land of Festivals” -Nagaland. It all began at the age of 15, being bullied and discriminated wherever I stepped into due to my weight and skintone. Including my own family members. One day, I decided that it’s enough! And from that day onwards I decided to prove everyone wrong, grow and improve in every aspects of life while motivating and helping women like me for the same. From 79kgs down to 50kgs with a fit and healthy physique as well as mind.

With absolute no support from my family there were only a few people who were always right there to help me, no matter how low I felt or how bad my day was. They always kept motivating me and pushing me to give my best.

And one thing I would say is, “Yes! Everything was worth it.”

Learned new skills, became a risk-taker who constantly puts herself out of her comfort zone and face her fears.

From having no knowledge about entrepreneurship to being an entrepreneur at the age of 18. Inspiring and motivating every girl to believe in themselves and their dreams while growing and improving every passing day. For me, life is all about being courageous. Learning new things and soaking in new experiences is all I strive for.

Somewhere or the other, I found my passion for modeling and pageantry as for me, being in fashion and media industry is what attracted me the most since childhood. The love for being in front of the camera is what I was passionate about. Being in beauty pageants taught me a greater awareness of self in social situations , it enhances confidence, self expression and individuality. Beauty pageants also aims at service to humanity and it is for those empowered women who have a vision of making themselves stronger and better, and empower other women to do the same, and come together as one.

I learned many things about myself and my confidence has increased over the course of my journey. I now have confidence to be more outgoing, to speak up about a certain issue or situation and just talk among a crowd of people. But, that comes with learning and experience. It has also helped me in my career as well. In interviews, I am no longer timid or shy when answering and asking questions, and speaking up during meetings.

I always say that pageants are not about changing yourself , they are about showcasing yourself. I believed in myself when no one did! And so, I always say, follow one thought and that is, ”You should always believe in yourself no matter what the world says because only you are the one who is going to push yourself.”

And now, here I am, as a confident and healthy woman who is ready to face all the challenges that comes on her path.

Q) What are your ambitions in life and where do you see yourself in the future?

My ambition in life is to be a role model to many young women in the society and leave a mark in every industry I step into.

I see myself as a successful model, an Indian Foreign Service Officer and a person representing my country “INDIA” in different aspects of life.

I still have so much more to accomplish to be, where I want to be.

such a boost. My passion for designing clothes started when I was child and I believe in hard work and dedication.

The things I love about designing is that there are so many techniques and skills to learn.

Designing took me a while to realise that satisfaction of making something different is really interesting at the end of working day. Over the experiences I have gained that circumstances don’t determine who you are or who you become. But learning, hard work and praying the lord Jesus and trusting him makes everything possible.

My work is an extension of who I’m being an unique creation of God. As a woman I’m influenced greatly by consciousness, nature, creativity, healing and uplifting others. I love the process of connecting to my heart. Designing clothes with positive intentions and affirmation indeed.!!!

Jack of All

- Mekhla Bawsay (Dentist, MBA & Content Creator)

I am Dr. Mekhala Bawsay

, a dentist, an MBA Graduate and a content creator. I started my career at the age of 23 when I just graduated from dental college.

Having the entrepreneurial bug in me, I decided to open my own clinic within 6 months of graduation without enough prior experience. From the first month itself, the revenue began pouring in, as did the profits. I soon realized that my clinic was flourishing not only due to my dental skills but mainly due to the marketing strategies that I had implemented. I learned that I was very good at converting a one-time patient into a lifelong one and that I actually enjoyed these activities more than my clinical practice.

After a year and a half, I got married and had to move residences. Being based out of a different location, running the clinic from a distance was becoming a difficult affair. I decided to shut shop.

This phase was a difficult one. While my husband was encouraging me to resume my dental practice nearby, I just didn’t feel like it. Even though I had a degree in Dental Surgery, I could tell my passion lied elsewhere. Where? I didn’t know.

I felt purposeless and began to near a depressive state for two whole months. I reached a depressive state for two months as I had lost my purpose in life.

I began to feel like I had wasted my life and began comparing my life with those of my friends and acquaintances. I knew I had a lot of potential but just didn’t know where to focus my energies or how to explore it.

Slowly but steadily, I began to pull myself out of this state of mind and promised myself that I would never allow myself to feel this way again and spend every second of life doing something that makes me grow.

My interest and love in marketing drove me to apply for a full-time, 2 year, Global MBA programme. I also resumed modelling – something I used to do in college too. It started off as something I did for fun, but within no time I scored first brand collaboration with a shampoo brand. After this there was no looking back.

I have worked with over 500 brands, am a Rotaract brand icon and have been published in several online newspapers and magazines for my skills in content creation.

I currently work with brands like Instagram, Samsung, L’Oreal Paris, Lakme among many others, while also pursuing my education. In fact, I stood second in my college.

The girl who thought she had failed, had lost her own self and could not find a new goal even though she had spent years studying has grown so much in a short span of two years I couldn’t find a new goal.

Today, I can confidently say that I am born to speak and create content. I want to be the best in my new line of work.

A lot of people ask me why a dentist has done an MBA and is now creating videos for a living. The only reply is that this is what I want to do.

I’ll end by saying that it’s ok to fail. In fact it’s good to fail in life because failure helps you confront your weaknesses and strength. Your degree or education cannot confine or decide your future and it’s never too late to successfully switch careers at any point in your life.

International Male Model of the Month -InterviewwithLA Model& Actor

Fabian Meraz How to Survive LA

Portrait of Actor/Model Fabian Meraz Interview by Preacher Photography At 15, Fabian Meraz walked off his parents’ cattle ranch in Mexico with dreams of making it big in America. His family called it a hero’s journey — one that would transform him, but ultimately bring him back to the ranch. However, Fabian had other plans. Unfortunately for him, they didn’t quite pan out. Instead, he got caught up with the wrong crowd, served time in jail for a felony and was left with very few options. That’s why he ended up selling vacuums door to door while living in a halfway house in Modesto, California.

Now, at 40, he looks back on his life and says he wouldn’t change a thing: “I made a lot of bad choices that I deemed were necessary to get to where I am today.” Today, he is an LA model, actor, filmmaker and publicist. Admittedly, he’s a no-nonsense guy with a huge chip on his shoulder. Traits that made life in the U.S. Marines difficult. Not for him, but for his commanding officers and fellow Marines.

Preacher Photography: How did you make life difficult for them?

Fabian Meraz: I was 29 and very set in my ways. I often challenged authority. I was over 200 pounds of muscle and I didn’t take shit from anybody. I saw a lot of things that were wrong there and I always tried to do the right thing. For instance, there’s a rape epidemic in the military. I’ve seen it happen and I felt it was my job to report it, but it backfired on me. I ended up being on a lot of people’s shit list.

Female Marines were sleeping in my room for protection. They felt my room was the safest place to be. I was investigated so many times because they thought I was sleeping with them. When the military is training female recruits, they brainwash them. They say we’re all brothers and sisters. One team. One fight.

This gives the women a false sense of security. 4 years later, I got honourably discharged for failure to adapt to Marine Corp standards.

PP: They kicked you out?

FM: They couldn’t deal with me anymore. But, I didn’t do anything wrong, If I did, I would have lost my Sergeant rank. The fact that I didn’t goes to show that I was in the right.

PP: How did you get into acting and modelling?

FM:I was 32 and out of the Marines. Modelling and acting was the last thing on my mind. A Marine friend of mine was acting in LA and she invited me to hang out and sleep on her couch. She used to be under my command so I was always criticizing her about her auditions — telling her how to act and stuff. Finally, she called me out and said, “You talk a lot of shit! Why don’t you go out on auditions and show me how it’s done?” And of course I took her challenge. LA auditions can be intimidating. No one interacts with each other. I embraced that awkwardness. I couldn’t help but mess around with some people reciting their lines. I often caught the attention of casting directors. They’d ask: “Who is that guy?” One casting director didn’t ask me. He just told me to show up on a film set. I’m a Marine. I just follow orders — so, I showed up. They had me play all

these tough guys like cartel henchmen and motorcycle gang members, staring people down. Pretty much, playing the same character I’ve been playing my entire life. [Laughs] Modelling was pretty random too. I have another Marine friend who’s a photographer. He was begging me to pose beside an exotic car for a Japanese car magazine. I didn’t want to do it, but he’s a good Marine so I felt compelled to help him out. And when the magazine got published, it started a snowball effect where I was getting tons of modelling offers on Instagram. Since I had nothing else going on, I went for it.

PP: You once told me that you have to be “heartless and cutthroat” in LA. What did you experience that made you feel that way?

FM: When I was in LA, I realized right away that if you’re not a person that can bring something to the table, you’re garbage. The LA crowd judges you on who you are. When they meet you, they’re fast to ask for your Instagram because that’s how they size you up. And the amount of respect you receive is based on how many followers you have. Everybody is fake. They pretend to be your friend, but in reality, they just want to use you.

PP: So actors and models are just preyed upon?

FM: That’s right. Hollywood players like directors, producers — even assistants or make-up artists abuse models and actors because they know they can get away with it. And they mostly do because models and actors put up with it because they’re looking for their big break. But, I won’t stand for that because I always challenge authority. If a Hollywood player disrespected me, it would be a bad day for them. The biggest mistake you can make in Hollywood is trying to make friends with everybody. You can’t do that. My philosophy is ‘divide and conquer’. If I embarrass somebody — even a director — that person has enemies. So, the enemies of that person will welcome me with open arms to their projects.

Remember: LA people will use you, exploit you and then throw you away and go to the next person. Once you allow yourself to be exploited, you’re absolutely useless to people.

PP: Have you ever felt exploited? And is being exploited a necessary evil for success in Hollywood?

FM: That is a double-edged question. It can be beneficial for women. Women can do casting couches with directors and it sometimes works. As a male, it’s very limited. I’ve seen many fellow male models that were straight go gay because they thought it would open some doors for them. Many people tried to exploit me, but I know better. If you give away your mystery to the world, you’ll have no value. Every actor or model must have an allure of mystery. You want people coming back for more. Never share anything about your personal life. Don’t even tell them your sexual preferences. Always keep them guessing. That’s how they’ll stay interested in you.

The Me Too movement exposed the ugly side of the industry that was so prevalent. Everybody knew about what was going on. For most women, the only reason they would get a role in a movie is because a top executive thought that they were attractive or single. I’ve been in casting situations and one of the common questions asked was, “Is this person taken?” First and foremost, people who are in committed relationships are automatically disqualified for some roles.

We know who the single people are because we go through their Instagram. So stay a mystery — especially on social media.

PP: What do you tell someone who has a dream of making it in Hollywood?

FM: Assume everybody you meet is trying to use you. If somebody tells you that they want you in their next movie, they want something from you. Casting involves many people. It’s not just one person. So you have to ask yourself:

41 © SPOTLESS FASHION MAGAZINE APRIL ISSUE

spotlessfashionmagazine

42 “What does this person want from me?” It’s important to know your self worth.

Don’t rely on people to turn your dreams into success. It’s up to you to make that possible.

PP: So why did you leave Hollywood for Salt Lake City?

FM: The pandemic. When it hit, it was virtually impossible to work on any projects in LA. Every project had to have COVID insurance, and most didn’t. The industry completely dissolved with the pandemic. I found myself out of a job so it was time to venture out to new territory. Salt Lake City is an 8 hour drive from LA. If an LA project needs me back right away, it’s not too far.

PP: So how did you pass the time when there were no modelling or acting gigs?

FM: I took some college courses in communications. From there, I got an internship in public relations. I figured since I’m good at talking with people, why not make a career out of it? I’ve developed techniques to help brands find a wider audience.

PP: How important is social media when you’re a model?

FM: Social media is now the lifeline of the industry. Social media is giving people a chance to be successful without the help of Hollywood elites. Influencing is a big business now. The big influencers are spending around $600-$1500 promoting each post because they know it bypasses all the algorithms. Look at [Instagram sensation] Dan Bilzerian who filed for bankruptcy. Allegedly, his financials revealed that he spent over $500,000 in one month on his social media.

PP: How has the pandemic affected you and your livelihood?

FM: It has completely wiped out my film producing plans. When I was a model and actor, I made the decision to learn all aspects of the business. I’m talking about filmmaking, sound engineering and script writing. I immersed myself in every aspect of the process until I began filming my own projects.

PP: What are you looking forward to the most when things go back to normal?

FM: I’m looking forward to finishing my film project. Now I have to rewrite the script to incorporate the pandemic. I feel that this pandemic will impact all future film projects and make them more interesting. There’s a scene in my film where we’re going out to meet the big drug boss, and his henchman is COVID testing us. This is our new normal, but we’re all slow to grasp that concept.

PP: What’s your new film project about?

FM: It’s about Mexican Marines who served honourably for the U.S. government, but were sent back to Mexico without citizenship. It’s a topic that is not very well known and I want to shed some light on it. A lot of these Mexican Ex-Marines end up working for the cartel and get involved in a lot violence. They’re valued assets to criminal enterprises.

PP: What are you proud of the most?

FM: I’m proud that I never compromised my morals in LA. Even though it’s common to forego your morals there and allow yourself to be exploited for success, I never gave in. Who knows? Maybe I would have been famous by now had I let myself be exploited. [Laughs] I’m looking forward to going back.

PP: You can’t wait to go back to LA? Back to that hell? [Laughs] FM: Of course! You gotta understand, Preacher! I have childhood neglect issues.

Every person who goes to LA seeking fame and fortune is psychologically damaged. What can I say? I fit in. [Laughs]

Indian Male Model of the Month

- Shaan-e-Punjab (ਪੰਜਾਬ ਦਾ ਬੇਟਾ)

-Inderjeet Singh I am inderjeet singh I was born and raised in a nuclear family from the city of Bathinda, which is also known as beautiful city of lakes. I am Btech graduate in electrical engineering.

From childhood I used to play cricket and focus on my studies . When i grew up and entered college, I was fond of clicking pictures of myself and used to post them on Facebook and I was not aware of Instagram that time. Firstly, let me tell you I was not much interested in fashion or modelling. When I was in my first year of my college my friend bought a camera and me and my friend clicked some pictures. And those picture came out really amazing. That’s when my friends told me about Instagram and I posted my pictures on Instagram. From there my journey started and I started taking interest in photoshoots and fashion & modelling. People loved to see my new pictures and I started to gain followers. I got a good response from people who commented and loved my look and style. I saw some pictures of fashion and styling so i choose a fashion category on Instagram and I regularly started to post my pictures. Then later I also came to know about collaborating with brands and how to earn money with Instagram.

I had followers so I started talking with brands to do collabs and I got many brands collaborations. I started Blogging and influencing people with my style, that's how I became a fashion blogger and influencer. But for it to succeed I had to go to outside my city. I travelled to Chandigarh and Delhi for many contents. It was not easy for me to travel . And my parents said to me the can’t afford my travelling charges . Then as I got some paid collaboration and I spent that money on my travelling. After that my friends, relatives and my parents suggested that why don’t I try into modelling line. But because I was from a small city of Bathinda where there is no opportunity to go to modelling line. In fact, there is no chance to grow But I did not lose hope and kept doing shoots, blogging and posting pictures on Instagram, one day I got a DM on Instagram from a guy from Delhi that he is launching a magazine and wants me to do a shoot. This was my life first modelling shoot. I had now tasted blood and this was not enough for me. Then I started to work more on myself. Result of which was that I got many offers and have for many renowned brands. For all the Sikh boys who wants to come in this line . If you have talent and you are hard-working then looks don't really matter. Work on your personality and then try to get some photoshoots and maintain your profile so there are chances to get opportunities. Always remember that good things always take time, so be patient and never loose hope.

Nowadays its a bit hard to grow socially. With the emerging competition its quite difficult to stand out. If your content is interesting, and noteworthy then it will definitely reach out to people. If you are really passionate about fashion blogging then stick to it as a part time job until u finally get a hold of it.

I believe that everyone should always keep moving forward. Never loose the hope and there is always an excitement in getting up and knowing that you have goals to achieve Never quit.

48 I

have been very blessed to have lived what I think is an interesting life. I am the youngest of five children. It would not be untrue to describe me as spoiled but not rotten. I came from a great family and grew up with a lot of love. My parents were awesome but very strict. I still have a great relationship with all my siblings.

In 1982 I entered the Miss Teen Arizona.

It was such agreat opportunity and experience. In 1989 I had planned to get married and move to San Diego, but it did not work out. I needed to find a direction for my career and my life. My sister-in-law showed me that America West Airlines was hiring. I applied and got the job. I was super excited. There was a lot of competition, but I was selected.

Being a flight attendant was always a dream of mine. The training was very intense, so when I completed it, it was such a relief. I was on reserve for 6 years, and that was tough. Being on reserve meant that I had to work the ticket counter, the gates, outside on the tarmac on the ramp, reservations and even the commissary or food service. The hard work was worth it and I knew it wouldn’t last forever. So I stuck it out, and I am so glad I did.

Being a flight attendant really changed my life, I was able to travel all over the world, what a blessing. After 6 years of working at American, I met my husband who also worked for American . We started dating and then married after 2 years of dating. II thank God, that I was blessed to have met him. We were married for 25 years. I wouldn’t of met him if I hadn’t been working for the airline. In 2020 my husband passed away. he had been ill for 4 years prior to his death.

It is still very raw for me, and very difficult. He was such a good Man and husband.

In 2014 A gentlemen from India noticed my photos on Facebook, from all my selfies I would post, he messaged me and said that I should model. I told him I was only 5” 1, he replied that I could do print modeling. Modeling had always been a dream of mine also. So that gave me confidence to try it. I signed up with the modeling site Model Mayhem that he had recommended. I started to get very busy with photoshoots that was good because I needed photos for my Portfolio.

In 2015 I entered Dancing with the Stews, a dancing competition in New York. The competition was a fundraiser for an awesome school in Africa. Working at American Airlines gave me the opportunity to travel to New York every week to practice. The flight attendants were paired with professional dancers. I was thrilled to have placed third. The best part was that my family was able to travel to New York to watch me compete.

In 2018 a co-worker noticed my modeling photos on Facebook, and he worked at an agency for models and actors. He said that I should go in and audition. I was accepted into the agency. I was so excited to start their training program.

I had a good time, met many good friends that will be friends for life, and the agency taught me a lot about finding casting calls for fashion shows and walking as a model. I was in several fashion shows and also started entering beauty contests after my training.

I entered Miss Fashion Global and made some important contacts. One of the models that had been “America’s Top Model” was one of the judges at that competition. Even though I did not make the finals, she recognized me and knew I had potential to do fashion shows. I was able to model fashion for New York Fashion Week and LA Fashion Week, and several other fashion shows. Which I consider a pretty big deal, since I am only 5’1” I continued to do fashion shows and photoshoots which kept me occupied. Unfortunately, my husband was very ill.

I was working full time and taking care of my husband. Modeling helped to keep me busy and was also something I enjoyed. My husband was so amazing. He always supported me in anything I did.

I Was published for the first time in December 2020 to May 2021 in magazines 7 different times. My hard work as a model had period off. In 2021, I was contacted by a broadcasting company and I was offered the opportunity to be an intern in Los Angeles. I was super psyched and so excited. I couldn’t believe it. This had also been a dream of mine..

I have been blessed over and over. I have always been very active. My desire to be in the limelight must have started back in high school, when I was a Cheer Leader.

I just Celebrated my 30th year with American Airlines.

A dream does not become reality through magic, it takes sweat , determination and hard work. If you put your mind into something you want to accomplish, you can do it, never give up on your dreams.
