splendour' says Deepika(changed name) that hooked her in this field. Ramp, some money, few discos, & drinks and behind the curtains...... ahem!ahem...
You envy them and you sympathise them, what must life be like when you are compelled to one of the most lurecative bussiness in town, modelling. And what must it be like to know modelling is ruining the verginity and the secret life of the sexiest, attractive and demanding models. By entering and accepting the law of modelling, you can live the kind of jet-setting life that most can only dream of, with being on the page3 cover, candle nights in stars hotels and some appearences in music v.d.o and so on.
On the other hand, you've got to live with the media glare on practically every aspect of your life. You read about your alleged romance, entertain rumours and digest negative remarks on you. As Poonam Thapa(changed name) famously said,"being a model is the most insecure job in the world". Everytime you do or don't,the headlines scream. Your humilation is public; the pain is suffered in private.
As along-suffering model says "the first time it happens it is shattering. I've, right from the begining, been in struggle and I truly believed I was not that kind of a girl, especially I always believed with such gutsy about n dignity. When the reality got too much to see, I execused me. A part of me wanted to deny it. But it overdid.
"So, I left the ramp with the pride again and went back to my usual routine. But modelling was always there, in a mind-set. A few days later I joined it again I found it very passionate & loved it too much. Also, I guess I behaved, believing like those things(sexual harrasments) won't happen again, When I found new galore and some morally dressed men(out-sidely). But it happened.... again & again & again.
Very few models will talk with such honestly even under anonymity. Though some models revel in the glamour and the spotlight, few will have anything to say about all the rumours surrounding their bussiness. But before you rush to think of them as long-suffering or wronged girls who weep into designer skirts, as they go kitty-party, read on.
In contrast to their beautiful public image, the secret world of many models is one in which show-biz is no less, no discos and parties are beyond reach and life is to be lived in Queen-size. The only rule is: keep it under wraps.
But there are a few-very few-who decide they won't want none of it. Asha Bhujel(changed name), ex-model, when her boss fell in lust with and slept with her, she decided to take a tough stance, eventhough she had dazzling career at the time. "It hurt like hell !"she confesses. "Wether you cry or laugh, it is heard and torn, your life is in the public. And the advice I got from industry's collegues didn't help: 'just leave and pretend it isn't happening and everything will be at the place'. 'Why don't you become best friends with him? 'I heard them all and realized that their thinking is radically different from mine. I can't understand this whole thing about being patient and counting money, shows, cakes and pastries. Counting for what? It can never be the same equation. I could have stayed put(happily or sadly) as no.1 model but I chose not to. Hats off to them if they can live like that, but I couldn't".
Asha Bhujel's decision is ararity in the show-biz. Ultimately, shron of all the trimmings of the gilded life, models have to make their choices pretty much like girls all over the world. The glamour and the disco, ramp, wine and dine are incidental. The relevent, universal dilema of how to deal with the pig boss remains just that-a dilema. Sometimes courage triumphs. And sometimes money matters.
