Sheetal Malhar

She is dusky, lithe and has onein-a-million smile. This Helen, if she can be called so, can launch a thousand ships too. That's Sheetal Malhar, the stunner who is creating ripples in the fashion world.

Agreeing that being fair has an advantage with Indian clients, Sheetal says that she has "learnt to accept" the fact that when it comes to advertising beauty products the fair skin will win the show. "This, however, is not an issue in the West," she adds.

Not one to mince words, Sheetal agrees that having the international tag definitely has its share of advantages. "Initially, it does help one get work. But from then on, it is how you work that makes all the difference," Sheetal gives the facts straight on your face.

At a time when models are making a bee-line for Bollywood, here is one headstrong girl who wants to keep away from the industry. "I am still not interested in it. I don't think there are any nice projects. I can give Bollywood a thought only if the offer is fabulous and the film is good," Sheetal clarifies all doubts.

She, however, gets a trifle irritated when you question her about the Kabhie Bhi Kahin Bhi venture. "It was never released," she puts an end to any further queries in that direction.

Is it a trifle exhausting having to look good all the time, we wonder. "It is," Sheetal confesses without much ado.

"The next career I choose will be something which has nothing to do with looks," she quips. Sheetal, however, has not restricted herself to the ramp. She is an avid animal lover and has done a campaign for PETA.

"There have been countless occasions when I have brought strays to my friends' homes. I love dogs," she puts in adding that even her brother and sister share her pet passion. Now that's what we call being truly warm hearted!

This ramp model gets fiercely defensive when asked about her personal life. "I would not like to take any questions on that. I don't like to disclose my personal life," Sheetal signs off.
