One of the biggest misconceptions about modeling is that castings and modeling agencies only want to see your most glamorous photos.

In reality, they ask for clean, natural digitals—no to minimal makeup, no elaborate styling, no filters. Just you in basic fitted clothes!

Here’s a little behind-the-scenes of taking my digitals, followed by the final images that were actually submitted. ✨

Still processing this 🥹……

Out of the thousands and thousands of applications received nationwide, I made the first cut for the VSFS 2026 in-person casting!!!!

From growing up in Punjab, India to building my life in the United States this moment feels incredibly special! Behind every “yes” were countless sacrifices, and rejections that made me stronger. This is the American 🇺🇸 dream!!!!!

Thank you @victoriassecret for this opportunity. See you soon @victoriassecret @imgmodels at the in-person casting in Chicago.

For now it’s time to prep, the clock is tickkkkking....

Mrs. American 🇺🇸 pageant 2022- Competing for the Nationals held in Vegas has been such a surreal once in a lifetime opportunity!
It is with a great honor that I represented State of Illinois as the First Indian American to hold this Title and Illinois being the only State with an Indian American delegate among the 50 states competing for the Nationals! I’m so grateful to have made it to the Top 15 and also the winner of the Fabulous Face Award Mrs American 2022!
The pageantry is not just about beauty, it goes way beyond beauty! I got to meet & know these amazing women from all over the country with great inspiring stories & skills sets.
I always wanted to participate in big pageants back in India but being an immigrant from India-Never in my life ever I thought of competing at National platform for the United States of America 🇺🇸
I wholeheartedly thank you my family, friends, sponsors and each and everyone of you for your support! And a big thank you to my husband for his full support- it’s coz of his support that I’m living my Dream as a Queen👸.
#MrsAmericaInc thank you for this once in a lifetime opportunity!

Adding a touch of my corporate world to my modeling portfolio. 💼🤍🖤
I love being in Corporate America, and I love being in the world of modeling just as much.
One is my profession, the other is my passion, and both are an important part of who I am!

Time & Presence- a 1920s inspired runway experience presented by @bellaoter

Got to step into a vintage era- from bold eyes to high brows, the delicate lace to layers of pearls, the statement shoes and all the vintage vibes 🤩
