“It is a myth that modelling is a brainless profession. We have girls here who are dentists, lawyers, girls who are doing corporate jobs and working in tech companies. It is a lot of hard work, long hours and everyday you have a new boss,” Neha told IANS in an interview here.

“It is not a great place to be but having said that, there is a lot of adulation. If you are good at what you do, it is a great place to be. It is competitive, cut-throat like everything else. Get into it only if you are fully ready,” said the “Singh Is Kinng” actress.

Advising that modelling is about working on your positive traits and concealing the negatives, Neha said that imperfections are beautiful and it's about owning yourself.

“If you want to get into modelling, be professional, work on your positives, conceal your negatives and keep at it. Don't come with pre-conceived notions. Imperfections are beautiful," she said.

"Even if you think that you cannot be model because there is something wrong...just get into it. You have models in New York who have taken the modelling industry by storm, there is a girl who has discoloured skin patches but still she is everywhere! It is about owning yourself,” she said.
