RENEE KUJUR
E
ven when Renee Kujur worked on the front end of a high-end apparel store, she was often called Rihanna by several visiting customers. Some even took selfies with her. Today, as she is being toasted by the international media for her uncanny resemblance to the Barbadian R&B singer, Kujur says she finally feels like Rihanna. The struggling model, who hails from the remote village of Pirai in Chhattisgarh, was felicitated at a special event by the Fashion Design Council of India (FDCI) at the recently concluded India Couture Week. I was always enchanted by the beautiful makebelieve world of fashion, make-up and dressing up. I would play dress up at home with dupattas, and make do with whatever meagre makeup supplies at hand — my mother has not even applied lipstick till date,shares the 33-year-old. I had once participated in a fancydress competition at school where I dressed as an angel in white. Someone shouted kaali pari when I was on stage. That’s when I decided to keep my dressing-up activities restricted to the home turf, she recalls.

Kujur, on her way to get a modelling assignment, also worked as a waitress and salesgirl to save up for portfolio shoot. Photographers and agencies rejected her because of her dark complexion and age. Many even approached her for sexual favours, assuming her to be an easy target. People promised me foreign shoots and magazine covers if I would agree to their demands, but I held my ground. I said no’ and faced rejection many times. I even changed my agencies,adds Kujur. Her honesty about her age — she started modeling at 28 — was also a deterrent. I was once finalised for a shoot in Bengaluru. When I sent my ID card, they realised I was much older than what I looked. I was dropped from the shoot. Later, for another shoot, I said I was 23 and they readily believed me, adds Kujur.
