Already got her covering one eye. I don’t trust her “agent”. But definitely a beautiful girl.
I really REALLY hope she gets fairly paid for all the gigs she'll (hopefully) get
I hope she becomes a top model ❤
Exploiting poor country kids
She looks like a model
She is absolutely beautiful and I pray she gets a huge modeling deal! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
wow she took that beauty from her father, just look at them 🤩
Sad. They already have her covering her right eye to give that nod to satan, I see. That entire industry is evil. Just like Hollywood and the music industry. They all worship the same master.
Smash
Hope she will have a good life.
4:40 is that man that fall for her??
I assume she did not use the products❤
Sweet and wholesome video, having a father's love and support plus the community she will shine like a star
Where is the mother
Jay shree Ram ❤️
Also living in slums she speaks good english
Howcome they r taking photos using nnot. Paying her…y is she still in slums wheres the money going
She needs to be protected. A lot of models can be exploited. Look up Karen Mulder. She was from the Netherlands, a first world country and was exploited. If she was at risk, this young girl definitely is. I just hope she has the right people in her corner.
I’m frightened for her. The modeling industry is not a world that protects innocence.
I also wants to become a model but in india no hope 😢😢😢😢
Im so happy for this beautiful young lady.. and her proud father… just amazing…so humble, gentle and kind…she will go far in the industry.. as long as DAD protects her..
I wish her all the luck of success ❤
She’s so adorable, I hope she can safely make it far in life with her entire family ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Shes gorgeous 😍!! Stay safe sweetie!!

This is so wholesome

Normalizing slum life !
Hoffentlich ist ihre Mutter bei den Fotoshootings immer dabei.
Sie ist noch so jung.
Just 2 more years boys
I am going to be honest. Modeling isn't about black or white skin. It's about the unique looks. This girl got the opportunity just because she is poor and wanted to be model. She doesn't have the model looks. There are plenty of beautiful people with model looks who are also poor. Her face is something you can see in so many ppl in India. Because of this girl Indian clothing and make up industry is being criticized for not hiring poor people or people with dark skin. We do hire them. Check our brands. But they are actually beautiful with model looks. The brands have standards and aren't gonna hire on basis of poverty. Most ppl in India would not agree she has model looks. The only reason the ppl in comments appreciate her is because she is poor. If she was from rich family everyone would say she only became model due to her wealth. We have lots of "models" who have the most ordinary face like Alia bhat or Ranbir Kapoor in India. They are not models but industry recruited them just cause they are rich.
This girl face doesn't fit the Indian standards for models. But I will say she has very clear skin. I wish India recruited more ppl with unique looks because that is what it means to be a model. A look that people generally don't have. What is the point of recruiting ppl who look similar to a million others?
I’m just wondering, has she been compensated for any of modeling to help her get out of the slums? Such a beautiful, sweet girl.
