The journey to find a career in the field of modelling has not been easy, but Rachna Tiwari never gave up. With a wide experience in entrepreneurship, corporate and education fields, the promising model has carved a niche in the field of fashion and modelling too.
Her talent can be gauged from the fact she has been featured in the September edition of the Vogue India magazine while modeling for a fashion designer. The Ranchi- born model has also been featured in the celebrity magazine Gladrags in September 2019.
She has also won Miss 2nd Runner Up East Zone India AHF (California) India, Glamworld May 2016_ Won and represented Jharkhand. Currently she is a mentor at The Institute Innovation Council at BIT Deoghar.
“I started walking the ramp at an early age, thanks to my family, who saw some potential in me. I am really grateful for all that has come my way. So far I have been privileged to have worked with some marvelous designers and production houses and to see them working with such precision is all the more inspiring and makes me want to work harder. At the moment I am working on ramping up my craft and hoping for the best,” noted Rachna.
She further added: “ Working on the set, and posing in front of the camera are all amazing and awesome experiences, but so are classes and headshot and survival jobs and auditions and meetings. When you get an audition, don’t look past the audition to the actual job or let nerves take over, enjoy the process. Be excited that someone has invited you. It may not be on a film set or in front of millions of people, but you get the chance to do the one thing you want to do more than anything else”.
She further added that there is a host of hidden talent among girls of small towns but the need is that they must get the right platform to display her talent. “I think there is something in the soil of our city that talent is nurtured to achieve greater heights,” she noted.
