After Kristina graduated from the Altai State University, she came to Novosibirsk, as she herself put it, “to actively seek oneself.”
Very soon, on the advice of her friend, she entered a modeling agency school. Elite stars and decided to do modeling to work abroad. Model business for her is still the main direction in life, writes Rambler.
Christina's height is not exactly model - 169 cm, and the age for the beginning model is solid - 23 of the year. But the girl is all surprisingly easy. She came to Novosibirsk, entered a model school, graduated from it, worked a little in advertising, was shot for catalogs and her portfolio, attracted the attention of international scouts.
“The dream came true, I flew to India. The first international contract came in Mumbai two months later [after] training in Novosibirsk. This was my first trip. Initially, there was a contract for four months, but then I extended it for another two months, ”Christina tells the correspondent.
It corresponded to the views of Hindus on female models: adult facial features, cheekbones, long hair, a feminine figure — no model angular thinness or teenage type that is usual for Europeans. Once Christine had a chance to work with Miss India International - 2015, so on the joint photo, the girls looked like sisters.
“She (“ Miss India International 2015 ”Supriya Aiman - IK) is in great demand in this market in India. After shooting with her, I realized what local girls work [there] for catalogs. Before my trip to India, it seemed to me that the model should be thin. But when I flew in, I saw that the girls were feminine there, in the body. The Indians liked me. And I had a lot of work, ”says Christina.
But Christina became recognizable in India after she starred in the video for the song “High crush”A popular Bollywood singer named Yash Vadali. After that, the contract of the Novosibirsk model was extended for the entire term of her visa.
“He (Yash Vadali. - I.K.) is young, he is somewhere 25 years old. And pretty successful. In January, we finished filming, and in February, the video was released on YouTube and all the music channels of India. The director was Sayan Roy (Sayan v roy), he is also quite famous - he makes clips for Bollywood celebrities and works with international models. He just made me a portfolio in India and offered to play in his new music video, ”says Christina. The girl noticed that she had no close relationship with a Bollywood singer either during the shooting or after.
“We did not meet, did not make friends, did not communicate. No relationship, this is just a job. Can in Instagram say to each other: “Hello, how are you?”, talk a little, but not more, ”the girl smiles and adds that the Indians, despite the fact that they respect women and parents, are sympathetic and try not to sort things out in public, not attracts her like men.
"They are good. But I do not see myself next to a foreigner, an Indian. They have a different mentality, a different culture. I don’t want to build relationships with a person who has no idea about your childhood, about Russia as a whole. I am probably a patriot, ”laughs Christina.
In India, for a model from Siberia, the hardest thing was to get used to the heat. Sometimes the temperature reached 40 degrees. But with food everything was very good: a variety of fruits and vegetables in unlimited quantities. Christine, who leads a vegetarian lifestyle and decided to try raw foods, loved it. In addition, accommodation and meals were at the expense of the employer - it was not necessary to spend money, although pocket money was regularly allocated. However, Christina prefers not to dwell on the topic of money earned, explaining this by the terms of the contract. I only noticed that they paid her in American dollars.
On top of that, Christina practices yoga and tries to live away from negative emotions, surrounding herself with positive emotions.
“Your condition that you carry from the inside is your beauty. I think girls nowadays forget about it. Living in the present moment, doing your favorite thing, doing sports, observing the right nutrition that suits you, and loving life as it is - that’s all the beauty secrets. And facial massages, masks - it goes without saying. Less negative emotions, ”explains Christina.
The young, successful and beautiful girl did not work out with the second half. He says there was a guy, but recently they broke up by mutual consent.
“It seems to me that he just realized that I was fascinated by this (modeling business. - I.K.) and became interested in it seriously. This is my first trip, but I believe that there will be more. Probably, expectation and distance adversely affected our relationship. We broke up when I was on a trip. In general, a man should support my initiatives and be faithful. He must be responsible and take responsibility for himself. He must be smart and educated. And most importantly, that he constantly developed with you. And everything that concerns the past, I don’t return to it, ”the girl explained to the correspondent.
