Looks like it is the season to celebrate new kids on the block in various fields....
In Tennis, it is Sania Mirza....
In modeling, if you go by what is being written in media.....new Ash is in the making....and the person is Deepika Padukone, an 18 year old model from B'lore taking the modeling world by a storm....
She is the daughter of former badminton champ Prakash Padukone....I think he had won All England Championship in 1979....After that there was a long gap till P.Gopinath won it a couple of years ago.....
Deepika has inherited the best of Padukone couple it seems like.....
Let's see how far does she go...sometimes modeling world can be totally unpredicatble...if you want the proof of unpredicatbility, google for Lakshmi Pandit and see of yourself how her claim to fame ended in a moment and how she was stripped off of her Miss India crown last year for fabricating some documents which hid her martial status....she simply was forced into obscurity....
Trivia.....who got the Miss Inida title once Lakshmi Pandit was stripped off of her crown....
Answer -Jyoti Brahmin
Incidently Lakshmi's elder sister was a Miss India too....I think Kalpana Pandit was the only beauty that I am aware of who exhibited that beauty and brains can co-exist and proved it...Kalpana was ranker in both X and XII in Karnataka Board !
Cheers!
