Rinku Pahel, A former professional cricketer and fashion model from Haryana. Though he harbored dreams of being a sportsman and succeeded in becoming Under-19 state level cricketer who played for the Haryana Cricket Association, friends and well-wishers of this good looking boy suggested he should try his hand at modeling.
One day, while he was watching a show at the Wills Lifestyle India Fashion Week in October 2014, he was praised by professionals from the world of fashion. Since then there has been no looking back. Within two months this 6’2” tall lad hit the catwalk at the age of 20 and his modeling career was underway even before his first portfolio was shot!
In fact within a short span of 12 months he has walked the ramp for almost all the major fashion weeks, designer labels and multinational brands, shot for print and editorial campaigns.
According to Rinku, the best part of a career in modellng is that one gets the opportunity to travel and see the world, wear beautiful garments created by the best designers in the nation and meet artistic people. Today he is enjoying his career which runs parallel with Civil Services studies.
