How did you start on the course to being a VJ?I always had my sights set on the media. I have even done a few films in Canada. It was after I won the Miss India (Canada) title that I got a chance to join Channel [V] at Hong Kong. In the beginning, I anchored the news. Later, I was called to Mumbai where I hosted a few episodes of the Indian Top 10 .How have you liked working in India?India is an upcoming market but it has a long way to go yet. It is not ready for the same exposure as other Asian countries like Hong Kong. For instance, restrictions of timings were imposed at a recent rock show in Mumbai. Such instances send out negative signals to future performers.With new and upcoming models opting for VJing, do you feel the need to battle with constant insecurity?As far as figures are concerned, there has been no new VJ at Channel [V] ever since I was chosen a year ago. Besides, I looked at my shift from Hong Kong to India as a new challenge. Not knowing where I will be next year is part of the wild, unpredictable life of this profession.What does being a VJ mean to you?VJing is a learning experience towards being a more positive person. We are hired to lift spirits and rock a crowd. The power and spirit required to spread enthusiasm is not something that everyone can do. The essence of a good VJ is the ability to bring out that energy under any circumstances.So, how does a VJ manage to look spirited even when she/he might not be feeling that way?That is the biggest challenge any VJ faces. To fit into the groove and constantly look good on TV means a total sacrifice of your moods. But that's who I am. I love interacting with people.Your plans for the future.I have a lot of plans lined up with Channel [V]. I will be starting a new show with VJ Ranvir soon but that's all I can reveal right now. At a later point in life, I would like to direct films.What is your advice to young VJ wannabes?The main accent for anyone interested in anchoring shows is to work on developing a positive attitude towards everything. It's the one criterion that mere good looks cannot cover up for.
