The first thing that strikes you about Pooja Mishra is her height. She’s one tall girl. The next thing would probably be her brains – she belongs to that rare species of models with IQs above that of a dead potato.
Ever since she shifted to Bombay after about 16 years of moving around the country, she’s been actively involved in modelling and doing shows. She even made it to the finals of the Femina Miss India pageant of 1997.
She’s done a lot of things since then, however, including a number of live shows, which she says are the most challenging and the most fun to do. At the moment she’s doing her third year in Commerce from HR College, although she admits that she isn’t paying much attention to her studies and that college is pretty much a drag – she prefers modelling. Yup, she’s normal, guys!
One would think that with a body like hers she’s a regular man-magnet, but Pooja soon squashes that notion. In her own words, she’s, “single and unready to mingle.” Apparently her work comes before anything else in life.
Speaking of life, even her attitude toward life is deserving of attention – according to her, life is nothing but a good laugh. Everything, even sorrows, should be laughed at. Pretty happy-go-lucky, eh?
So where is life taking her? “Well,” she says thoughtfully, “I’d like to get into copy-writing or into some other aspect of advertising.” And if she weren’t a model? “I’d be a scuba diving instructor,” she says confidently. In fact, this babe has already bagged a number of scuba diving and swimming championships at the intermediate level.
Anyway, there you have it – a smart spunky girl, definitely on the way!!
