Model and actress Dipannita Sharma is using her experience to start a new academy that will groom models for the fashion industry.
Dipannita has never been able to capture filmmakers’ attention in Bollywood. Almost all of the films she has starred in featured her in very small and marginal roles. But she does have a very good experience as a model.
The gorgeous belle is now said to be thinking of starting her own model-grooming academy along with Atul Kelkar, who has been part of fashion and event management industry for many years now.
Dipannita says she feels that there is a great dearth of good models in the fashion industry right now. She particularly wants to groom those youngsters whose aim is to remain in the fashion world and not use it just as a stepping-stone to a film career.
Dipannita has decided to call the modeling academy ‘Supermodels Reloaded’.
The academy will offer a two-month course, which will be divided into 16 sessions for the overall grooming of aspiring models, both males and females. During the course, lectures will be given by experts from various branches related to fashion. After the two-month course, a fashion show will be organized in which the groomed models will take part.
The first session of the academy starts in May this year.
