modelling world.

Models have a short career span, they say. What are your thoughts on it?
Bhawana: The main reason behind it is the country and its problems. Modelling industry is small and limited and we hardly get a chance to make a career of it.
Anju: Sadly, yes, models do have a short career span. When demand ends so does our career.
Ratendra: I do agree but it depends on how you work and what you do with the opportunities provided to you.
Dawa: I don’t think models have a short career span. Yes it’s difficult to make an impression in this industry but hard work will definitely ensure long term success.
