What according to you is your best asset?

My dynamism and energy. I don't have the fear of trying anything new. But most importantly, I understand the idea behind a shoot or a concept and I take my career very seriously.

How do you get those abs?

A lot of crunches. Say no to chocolates and yes to lots of of green tea!

How do you keep your skin so healthy?

Cleansing, toning, moisturising and getting a lot of sleep -- which can get a little difficult.

What according to you is the best part about modelling?

The fact that you get to travel a lot and meet a lot of new people. And then could you ask for a better job than one where you have to simply wake up and look fab?

What has been your most embarrassing moment in life?

I am very accident-prone but I don't get embarrassed very easily. I usually just laugh it off!

Your favourite cuisine?

Indian food, especially sea food!

Your favourite Bollywood film?

Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham

So you understand Hindi...

Nope! Watched it with subtitles.

What kind of music do you like?

I love listening to music all the time. Tracy Chapman is my favourite. But I love all kinds of music -- house, rock, anything works.

Your biggest indulgence?

Buying shoes. I have a lot of them.

Your biggest challenge so far?

Completing medical school. It was a task getting through five years of intense and gruelling schedules.

What turns you on in a man?

Kindness.

And what turns you off?

Selfishness and arrogance.

You can't leave your home without?

Money.

What do you do in your spare time?

I gym a lot. And I love to party, dance and travel a lot.

If you were asked to bare for a shoot, what were the things you'd ask?

Who is shooting the pictures? would be my first question. I would expect that the pictures shot will not be for mass circulation but a high-end fashion magazine or a work of art. But most importantly, I would follow my gut feeling before agreeing to do the shoot.
