"Apart from modelling, I always wanted to become a dancer." Maleesha is now exploring ballet, contemporary and jazz, stepping beyond the hip-hop styles she knew before. Between college and modelling, dance is helping her discover new opportunities and pursue another long-held dream. She also admires how Sabyasachi celebrates Indian traditions while keeping his creations elegant and chic and hopes to work with him as she continues to grow in the fashion industry.

Bengaluru airport security.
Officer: bag me murti hai?
Me: sir Puruskar hai
Officer: acha. Is me ke sharp
Point hai?
Me: sir sharp nahi hai. Uska pankh hai.
Officer: acha acha. Dikhaiye.
I open the bag. He looks at the award. Lifts it up. It’s not sharp.
Officer: accha hai. Badhai ho. Kya karte ho?
Me: Comedian sir. Joke sunata hoon.
Him: joke ke liye puruskar milte hain?
Me: mujhko bhi ajeeb laga sir.
We both laugh. I put it back in the bag. I head to my flight.
Thank you @Suhelseth 💓💓
