👉 Think modeling in India is all glam? Here’s the raw truth nobody tells you 👀 Being Sweet Pays – Jobs often go to the model who’s polite with the right people, not the “prettiest” one in the room. Fashion Week = Networking Hub – Backstage & fittings are where real connections (and future jobs) happen. Agencies Have Favorites – If you’re not their pet face, you’ll barely get pitched for the big gigs. Payments Move at Snail Speed – Huge ads, giant brands… and you’ll still chase your money for 6–8 months. Negotiation = Respect – Say yes to every low rate once, and the industry never takes your fee seriously again. Polaroids > Photoshoots – Makeup-free daylight snaps decide more jobs than your fanciest portfolio pictures. Be Selective, Not Desperate – Overexposed faces lose value fast. Top models stay in demand by choosing quality > quantity. Skin & Hair = Currency – Designers book consistency, not “beauty.” Healthy skin & hair photograph (and sell) better. Last-Minute Cuts Happen – You can rehearse for days and still be dropped if a bigger name shows up. Punctuality = Survival – In modeling, being late isn’t “diva energy.” It’s a career ender 🚫 (you’ll be blacklisted faster than you can contour). Your Network = Net Worth – Stylists, MUAs, assistants… the way you treat them decides if they’ll recommend you tomorrow.
