Tezpur and Shantipur throw up some surprising candidates in the second edition of the Kingfisher calendar hunt. Sharmistha Chakra isn’t a name you will recognise off-the-cuff, yet the 23-year-old aspiring model from Shantipur village in Nadia district of West Bengal seems to have perfected an unusually model-centric understanding of fashion’s workings. She has worked out the perfect formula for a successful model —”a pout and a big bust” and possibly, being a bit of an exhibitionist. So far, she has clocked an item number, got herself an attitude and can pose in a bikini “even on a road”. Over the telephonic conversation, the 5’ 9” lass, one of the Kingfisher calendar hunt finalists, explains why she chose to become a peek-a-boo spectacle in naughty outfits. “I always wanted to be a model.
I knew I had the potential, right attitude and a good height and body to make it. Though I am not as groomed as many of the other girls at the contest, I am a fast learner. I am quite happy that I applied and made it to the finals,” says Chakra, who moved base to Mumbai recently. Her career started in Kolkata, doing polaroid shots for local brands before she moved on to bigger things. Now she is polishing her diction, hanging out at VIP nightspots and networking with the “right people”.
