Guwahati model Siksha Das is among the top 10 contestants from Assam who will represent the state at the Femina Miss India 2022 beauty pageant. Das is Freelancer Model, Actor, and Social Activist by profession.
She is currently pursuing B.A 3rd Year in Mass Communications and Journalism from Somaiya University, Mumbai.
Sharing her thoughts in an exclusive interview with Guwahati Times, she told us about her hobbies, which include watching movies, listening to songs, and reading non-fiction books.
Answering about her modelling career, she said, “I wanted to be a model ever since I was a child and I knew one day I have to come to Mumbai and work as a professional model. It’s been a year now since I have modelled and it has been quite a good experience for me. I was given my first project for an international clothing brand by my portfolio photographer Mr A. Rrajani and from then I have modelled for fashion designers, became the ambassador for celebs’ tea products and so on.”
How do you feel about being selected among the top contestants of your state ?
It still feels surreal. Honestly being the state finalist for Femina Miss India itself is a huge deal for me. I still feel overwhelmed and grateful.
If you get the chance to represent your state, what do you want to do for the people of your state?
It would be an honour. If I get this very big opportunity to represent my beautiful state Assam then I’ll definitely give my all to bring the coveted crown to the respective state. I would like to showcase and present the wonderful culture of Assam in front of the world be its refinery, silk, natural beauty or the hospitality and charm of the Assamese people.
What do you think about ‘Modelling as a career ?
According to me, modelling is a very sorted career. Being a model is not an easy job as people think it is. We have to work day and night shifts to give the best shots possible to the photographer and the respective clients for whom we are promoting the brands and also the branding of the products depends upon us.
How does your family support you in your modelling career?
My family’s support has been instrumental and they have always taught me to follow my dreams and work for them. They are my pillar and strength in whatever I have achieved till today. My father is my biggest cheerleader.
