A versatile fashion model, tall dusky sultry and a stunner – Sandhya Shetty, Femina Miss India 2000 finalist and Vatika Ford Supermodel 2002 1st runners up, is going great in her modelling career. Sandhya believes, “To be a successful model, it takes a great amount of intelligence apart from being just a pretty face and have a great body.”

Sandhya has had the distinction to be featured on the cover of London based fashion magazine OCCASIONS, along with a fashion feature in 2002. Her unusual beauty captivated Partho Ghosh, the Paris based international photographer’s eye in 2002. She was featured in the international French fashion magazines PARIS MATCH in 2002 and POINT DE VUE in 2003, a rare feat by an Indian model. Partho Ghosh also shot a series of pictures of Sandhya recently, for his international exhibition titled BEAUTIFUL WOMEN OF THE WORLD, being held all over the world.

Sandhya was inclined towards fashion and modelling right from her early days of college. This inclination saw her doing a brief stint in fashion designing, to get the first-hand-knowledge of fashion and styling. She feels, “Fashion modelling is unique in creating great illusions.” When she is on the ramp, her transformation from an innocent girl to the epitome of seductive elegance is just mind-blowing. With one friendly smile, she transforms the image of a model with an attitude into the girl-next-door to a great perfection.

As a model, Sandhya loves to be in front of the camera all the time. A perfectionist, she believes, “To achieve one’s goal in life, one has to be self disciplined and a dedicated soul. Modelling is one of the toughest professions in the world. Life of a model is full of disciplined upbringing, habits and sacrifices.” To excel in life is what Sandhya truly believes in. She attributes her success to cope with the round-the-clock work pressure to her loving family and her GOD loving attitude.
