After years of self-imposed exile from fashion, India’s very first supermodel, Mehr Jesia Rampal, 37, staged a comeback to help Saif Ali Khan take his first steps on the ramp for Provogue recently. The occasion was the showcase of Provogue’s Summer Spring Collection with brand ambassadors Saif Ali Khan, Esha Deol and Upen Patel walking the ramp along with top models Aditya Bal, Candice Pinto, Carol Gracious and several others. This was for the first time Saif walked the ramp and was at his stylish best. Here is Mehr answer to some questions
Q: So it took Saif to draw you out of your sabbatical?
A: I got to know Saif when he and my husband were part of a world tour. I could not say no when Provogue approached me.
Q: Any plans to return to the ramp?
A: That’s over for me. Catwalking has become robotic with no input from models.
Q: How’s the film producer stint going?
A: After, ‘I see You’, our production company, Chasing Ganesha, will start work on the next film in 2008.
