With almost every major international beauty pageant already in their kitty, Indian fashion models have now set their eyes on the ramps of fashion capitals of the world, London, Paris and Milan. Thousands of young Indian teenagers are going through the rigours of modelling classes, make-up sessions and personality coaching, hoping to make it to the big league.

These ambitious girls see modelling as a stepping stone to the success in Bollywood. But success doesn’t come easy. The competitive out there is fierce, and only the fittest and the leanest can survive! Ask Ananya Dutt. She has established herself after a long, hard struggle.

This multi-faceted model is a trained Odissi and Bharat Natyam dancer, actor and singer. She has spent years learning the basics of these different art forms even as she nurtured the ambition of becoming a model. Best known as the woman, who drives off with Salman Khan in a speedboat in the Thums Up ad, Bengali bombshell Ananya has done numerous advertisements.

Curiously though, we don't hear of her too often. Maybe because she prefers to maintain a low-profile or maybe because she wants to her work speak for herself. But she already built a sizable portfolio. She has promoted products for Videocon, Thumbs Up, Sprite etc. and has been featured in Elle, Savvy and Femina.

She made her stage debut in Bharat Dabholkar's - Oh No! Not Again!!! followed by 'Funny Thing Called Love'. She has also featured in another popular play, Monkey Business. It’s a story of a Gujarati family, which visits a not so friendly neighbourhood country. Ananya plays a pretty teenage daughter in the play.

To go with the statistics like 36-25-35, Ananya has brown eyes and bottle-brown hair. Ananya has also learnt the art of Bharatnatyam and Odissi. She enjoys swimming, kick boxing and horse riding. Some of the other ads you might have seen Ananya in, as we mentioned above, include Sprite, Close-up, De Beers, Videocon and Onida. She has even done a couple of promos for Channel V. But she is not the one to get contended with this, and we are certain to hear a lot more of her in the near future.
