Milind Soman to make his debut as reality show judge with India's Next Top Model

Milind Soman is returning to
TV as one of the judges on the reality show India's Next Top Model. The
51-year-old model-actor admits that he hasn't decided if he will be a
strict judge or a lenient one and will play it by the ear. “I plan to do
whatever I think is necessary to bring out the best in the girls,“ he
says, reminiscing about his own days as a beginner. “Modelling was a lot
of fun. I learnt a lot about dealing with people and the business and
also got to travel all over the world. The models, over the years, have
become much more professional and international. In fact, we are almost
at par
with the global industry and it is great to see Indian models setting
international runways and fashion pages on fire.“
And what is he looking for in the contesting models? He says, “I believe a great model is a perfect combination of poise and personality, expresses themselves effortlessly, even in tough situations. Dedication plays a key role in all of this and it will be a benchmark in India's Next Top Model as well. I want all the aspiring models out there to know that it's definitely not just the pretty face that matters!“
Back in July, Mirror had reported about the 'Iron Man' finding love again with air hostess Ankita Konwar. Bring up murmurs of an impending wedding, and Milind instantly clams up. “Not yet“ is all he is willing to say.

Malaika Arora to judge third season of India’s Next Top Model

It's a homecoming of sorts for Malaika Arora, who had started her television career as a VJ with MTV. Almost two decades later, she will be seen as a judge on the channel’s fashion reality show, India’s Next Top Model as it enters its third season. An apt choice, one would say, considering Arora is a former model and one of the most fashionable ladies in showbiz.
“A supermodel, for me, would be someone who effortlessly pulls off the latest trends — be it the squiggle eyebrows or sky-high heels with utmost grace,” she says. However, Arora has a sharp eye for talent, if her last few stints as judge on several dance reality shows are anything to go by.
Arora is glad to judge the fashion-based show at a time when body positivity is encouraged and plus-size models are sashaying down the ramps in New York. The dancer-producer insists that the hunt will go beyond good looks. “We are not looking for a pretty face, but a face that embodies the essence of human expression. I will be judging the girls on several parameters, most importantly, the ease with which they carry themselves. They should also take up any challenge thrown at them without any hesitation.”
She will be judging the show along with Dabboo Ratnani. Anusha Dandekar and Neeraj Gaba will be resuming their roles of the host and mentor respectively.
