You have to understand their point of view as well.” Namrata recalled how she used to ask herself what the judges would be thinking when she used to walk the ramp. “I am looking for girls who are not trying to become someone else but have confidence in themselves and do not possess a fake over-confident personality”, she said.

When I got a call from his office, I thought was a prank call before I realised it was actually him!” the actress revealed.

“Consistency and patience are the keys in this field,” Namrata shared the sensible advice.

“I have been modelling since 1998 and it’s been a great journey which is why I am still stuck here”, Kavita joked before signing off.
