Modelling
today has become one of the most sought after career options for youngsters in
India. This is one of the most thrilling as well as lucrative profession, it
attracts males and females equally, though there was a time when females
dominated the field. With the expansion of consumerism and media there has been
a fabulous boost in the ad industry. This along with upsurge in fashion industry
have made modeling an attractive career option. It has generated a large and
continuing demand for fresh faces and personalities to launch and promote a
variety of branded products or show a garment to its best advantage.
