mum's the word

Model Sonalika Sahay has been missing of the scene since a few months now. Even the fashion scene seemed a bit down lately so it wouldnt be surprising if someone thought she's out of the scene out of boredom. But according to news reports sonalika has just turned a mom a month or so back. Surely the glow on her skin will be more next time we see her at the fashion week. Good wishes to sonalika from our Desi Babes and Hunks Team.

Sonalika Sahay

For a supermodel of her popularity judging on the basis on the innumerable ramp shows she does, sonalika does stay very much out of the public eye.

Beauty Buzz With Model Sonalika Sahay

Zodiac Sign : Gemini
Career highlights: I've shot with fashion designers such as Ritu Kumar, Ravi Bajaj, JJ Valaya and Sunit Verma. I've also done the Maruti Esteem commercial and several print ads.
I kickstart my day with a glass of warm water spiked with honey and lemon, followed by five almonds soaked overnight. I love to eat a lavish breakfast of wholewheat bread and cheese, juice, cereal, sprouts or fresh fruit.
One beauty rule I always follow is to keep my skin clean. This is especially vital for me because I spend a lot of time under harsh studio lights, which stresses the skin out.
My skin loves good quality moisturisers from brands such as Clarins, and loads of water. I have dry skin; keeping it hydrated is essential for me.
My hair loves : L'Oréal products and Nova Mousse. I have curly hair so I have to be very gentle with it.I brush my hair only while conditioning, and then just let it dry naturally.
My beauty routine: I clean my face morning and evening, and regularly use moisturiser, gel and night cream.
My fitness mantra: Make a trip to the gym at least four times a week. On each visit, I do about one-and-a-half hours of cardio, weights and aerobics.
I pamper my eyes with Clarins gel! I take care to remove eye make-up very gently, because that's the most delicate part of the face.
Pre-party quick-fix: Minimum make-up, lots of mascara. If I'm having a bad hair day, I tie a headband or scrunch up my hair into a neat pony.
Best beauty advice: Beauty comes from within, but it is equally important to care for your skin so that you glow from the outside in, too!

SONALIKA SAHAY - Indian Super Model

SONALIKA SAHAY has the kind of legs that ask to be accessorised with a Rolls Royce and a saxophone to provide the necessary ambient sound. The 5"10" model who set the ramp on fire at the Lakme India Fashion Week has come a long way from her hometown of Hazaribagh in Bihar to being the Sensational Face of Christian Dior. Especially when you consider the face of Dior is none other than Ms Naughty Eyes, Yana Gupta.

"There was a contest during the Fashion Week and Dior was looking for a new face," Sonalika says. "I fitted the criteria and so here I am! I have a two-year contract with Dior and I am really looking forward to the association." Sonalika who has tried her hand at quite a few things including Hotel Management and MBA does not wish to comment on whether she would follow her model peers to the silver screen.

Designer of choice for Sonalika is "Dior (naturally!) The clothes are a wonderful mix of feminine grace and power. I dress to reflect my mood. Having said that, I would describe my style as leaning towards casual."

Picture of grace

Looking at Sonalika demurely seated, the very picture of grace, one cannot picture her involved with anything rough and ready. She however insists she is a tomboy and loves water sports. "I enjoy canoeing and working out in the gym. And I also love to read. The last book I read was Gone With the Wind. For some odd reason I had never read the book. My all-time favourite author is P.G. Wodehouse."

A vegetarian by choice as she cannot bear "the animosity to animals," Sonalika admits the leather question to be "a sensitive one. I guess one should be minimalist. There should not be outright cruelty. I suppose there are no easy answers."

Commenting on the tragedy of model and VJ Nafisa Joseph's suicide, Sonalika said, "I was shocked and deeply saddened when I heard the news." Sonalika feels that anyone wishing to become a model "should give it a try. However, one should be prepared as it is a high stress job and takes a lot out of you. It is a full time job and not all about just looking pretty."

Sonalika seems to have struck the golden mean of looking pretty and having fun doing it!

Sonalika Sahay - The face of Christian Dior watches in India

“People should not view models merely as sex symbols,” says Sonalika Sahay, a model who was in the city on Wednesday. She is into ramp shows from past two years and doesn’t ask for more. Though she has received offers from Bollywood, she remains focused on the fashion world alone. She has done various commercials. Interestingly, she has worked in Singapore Airlines as cabin crew. In a black outfit and high heels, it was her shining eyes that drew instant appreciation.

“Though people used to recommend me, that I should do modelling, I never took it seriously. Then I got an offer in Singapore. After that there was no looking back for me,” Sonalika states. For keeping herself fit, she works out in the gym and takes proper care of her health.

About her likings she says: “I enjoy being on the ramp especially the catwalk. Whenever I get time, I read books. And I like swimming but don’t have much time for that.”

What according to her is the concept of beauty? “To be really beautiful, one has to be beautiful from within too,” she says.

For aspiring models, she has valuable suggestions. “Many young girls enamoured by the glitter and glamour enter this profession without giving it a serious thought. They should weigh the pros and cons too. Moreover, basic education is a must. I am doing MBA because I think that modelling is a short-lived profession.”

What does she think of FTV models who, most of the time, are semi-clad.

Evading a direct reply, she says: “The FTV fashion shows are organised at a very high level. If they are modelling for lingerie, they have no option. They are just hanger for clothes.”
