Ashlesha Yesugade
Supremely talented and incredibly beautiful, Ashlesha faces no complexity in balancing her college life with a hotshot modeling and acting career. Life is proving to be a great roller coaster ride, and this pretty girl is enjoying every moment of it. Once her college lectures are over, she drops her books, and transmogrifies herself into a stunning model destined for a pedestal, where men may ogle her forever. She is barely 18, yet she has already starred in famous commercials and her photographs have been splashed across the pages of the best magazines.
When and why did you get inspired to become a model?
I yearn to be famous. I have a feeling that I am destined to be a top model someday. My confidence, hard work and faith in myself keeps me going. My first foray into modeling happened right after my SSC exams. A friend, Vishal Desai, suggested that I should seek entry into a workshop offered by Pune Models agency. I did that and I managed to learn some very basic facts about modeling. With my unique looks I've been getting more and more assignments. But life as a model is not exactly a piece of cake; it is tough when you are new and young in this industry.
Any desire to move from modeling to acting?
As of now, I plan to concentrate on my modeling career. But, Bollywood has always been on the back of my mind. I am still waiting for the offer from a director who will give me my dream debut in a Bollywood film.
