I displayed all my paintings for family and friends and prepared everything with tickets and prices for the pieces. I sold one painting to my grandfather, who still has it hanging in his bedroom.

I used to be a ballerina and danced throughout my childhood. I have to thank my mum for keeping me in class, even when I wanted to quit. Now I can enjoy dancing whenever I want to.<br \/>\n2. I love to sing, not that I&#8217;m good at it, but music is an important part of my life.<br \/>\n3. Lastly, I volunteer with kids once a week. It&#8217;s really the day of the week I look forward to the most.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2014 How did you become a model?<\/strong><br \/>\nI first started modelling when I was discovered through Instagram by my mother agency. My aunt, who is a photographer, took some photos of me and uploaded them to her page.

I&#8217;m really glad about that because my parents helped me a lot when I was learning to play the piano and the violin. When I was younger, I tried to resist making music because I didn&#8217;t always enjoy having to practise. But now that I&#8217;ve grown older, I&#8217;m really thankful that my parents always encouraged me to stick with it. They taught me to enjoy the process of learning something new, even when it can sometimes be difficult.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2014 What&#8217;s a favourite book\/movie\/TV show, and why do you love it?<\/strong><br \/>\nMy favourite TV show right now is The Handmaid&#8217;s Tale. I love it because the world in the series is so dystopian and unrealistic, but at the same time, it feels strangely real. It shows a society where women have almost no rights and are forced to live under a strict religious regime. What I find especially interesting is that the show doesn&#8217;t feel like typical Hollywood. The actors and characters don&#8217;t all look unrealistically perfect, and the people actually feel like normal, believable human beings. That makes the characters much more relatable and makes the whole dystopian world feel even more real. Sometimes, after watching an episode, I feel like I need a moment to remind myself that this isn&#8217;t my reality. I think that&#8217;s what I love most about the series: it&#8217;s so convincing that it can actually change the way I see my own reality for a while.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2014 What are 3 interesting facts about you?<\/strong><br \/>\n1. I have three turtles named Dave, Swish and Tobi, and I&#8217;ve had them for about 10 years now.<br \/>\n2. I&#8217;m more of an introverted, calm and quiet person. But with the right people, and after spending some time with them, I become more and more outgoing and comfortable.<br \/>\n3. I also play a lot of chess with my best friend. Most of the time, I lose because he&#8217;s just way too good, haha. But I still enjoy playing with him.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chetan Who: Chetan Shamdiya \u2014 @chetan.shamdiya \u2014 Indian from New Delhi, India \u2014 born January 5th \u2014 188 cm \/ 6&#8217;2&#8243; \u2014 he\/him.
