Hailing from Delhi, Ashish Bhardwaj shifted to Mumbai to pursue his dreams, and is poised to carve a niche in modelling. He seems to be going down the right path with stellar campaigns and tvcs in his folio. Over to him!

''What attracted me towards modelling when I could have settled for a more stable career is my passion — I was very passionate about a career in modelling and acting. So here I am! I've walked for India Couture Week, Amazon India Fashion Week, cover story for Vogue India, campaign shoot for Pantaloons, Urban Clap and Mosaic and tvc for Maruti Suzuki and T-20. But I aspire to do much more!

I'm always working on improving myself; I feel a model and actor should be good with communication skills and it's important to be a complete package — both looks and the correct mindset. Moreover, I try to be creative by working on all my assignments in a new, different way! That's how I get job satisfaction!! Fitness is very important. I stay fit with a good workout each day — weight training and cardio. I make sure to not miss a day of workout and I try to eat clean according to my body type. 

I do hope hard work and working out leads me down the path of success. From experience, I feel aspiring models should focus on investing in a good folio and making the effort to circulate it to good agencies. As of now, the next assignment I'm looking forward to is India Luxury Style Week because it is the only men's fashion week in India and it's amazing!! Further, I have a few campaign shoots and tvcs lined up to keep me abreast!''
