‘Urban Spirit’, which was showcased
in one of the most visited locations in
Paris (Forum des Halles).
Modeling was taking up a lot of
time and so Veronica decided to
transfer out of Medicine. She was in
contact with two girl friends who
wanted to start a girls band. Veronica
liked the idea of being able to apply
my traditional values in a more
modern format, so she agreed.
Veronica connected the girls with a
producer she knew. Veronica says “He
loved the idea and added another
member to complete our band: that's
how Texas Girls (a mix between the
Spice Girls and the Pussycat Dolls)
was born - a blond, a brunet, a red
head and an Indian! We signed with
EMI and recorded our first single,
which reached the top 50 French
very surprised by the request, because they never hired
dark-skinned models. They explained to me that they were
trying to reach out to 'contemporary France''. I accepted.
I was the first person from India to do it! The adventure
lasted a month and during which I was on prime-time TV
every evening giving out the
winning jersey to the best
climbers of that day's event.
It was great!”
After Veronica’s tenure
as Miss Asia France, she
returned to full-time
modeling. She was featured
at 2008 Paris Fashion Week,
as well as worked on some
ads for international and
local magazines like Elle,
Miss Ebene, Lady Caprice
and others. Recently, she
was featured in a photo
exhibition in Paris called
