- When did it first strike you to take the path of modelling?

It was a coincidence. I took part in a challenge on Instagram that required the participants to post our best fashion attires and the winners would get hampers. To my surprise, I got a message saying that I’ve qualified for auditioning for a show called Phoenix Fashion Icon. I accepted it with much elation. I was determined to give it my best shot and then got selected in the Top 12. Later I was announced as 1st runner up in the contest and that’s how my journey commenced.

3. We see beautiful faces and personalities winning the crown every year, what role does the society play in this? Do you scout and train them too?
We do scout, audition and train the contestants and we have been collaborating with other organizations as well.
People can join and win if they fine tune their body, mind and soul and persevere. Naturally blessed with good looks and a dynamic personality can ensure a sure shot winner.
I do not agree with the perception of discrimination. People of Shillonh have always possessed what it takes in terms of beauty, style and suaveness. A platform was all that was needed to showcase this talent.
We are mostly a non-profit organization and we strive to host events of a high standard. We’ve had a number of celebrities acknowledge and attend our events from Bollywood icons like Moon Moon Sen, Zeenat Aman, Former Home Minister of Meghalaya, James Marvin Pariat.
