There is no doubt that the modelling industry entices every other person with its charm. However, what one does not realise are the struggles that go in the backhand. A lot of perseverance, constant efforts, the ability to follow directions efficiently, posing in multiple ways, etcetera are required by one to become a model as it is the industry’s demands. It is quite difficult to get into the modelling realm in the modern world because there are so many people who want to be one. However, those who bring something different to the table while ticking all the checkboxes always stand out and one such person is Dr. Manu Bora.

How did it begin?
Flashback to the time when Dr. Manu Bora was in school, he always used to look up to models like David Gandy. He would end up daydreaming about walking on ramps and being the showstopper. To make this dream of his come true, Dr. Manu Bora signed up for his first-ever modelling show. Nevertheless, his priority first was to finish his MBBS, thus, he worked hard and got 52nd rank in the all-India pre-med exam but life did take a turn when he moved to Mumbai for his post-graduation. Due to long study hours, he ended up gaining weight but he refused to give up. Dr Manu started following a proper exercise regime, had a proper diet and ultimately lost significant kilos. As soon as he felt camera ready, he got a portfolio shoot done and boom he started getting a plethora of calls.

Dr. Manu Bora never hesitates in giving back to people and society, be it in the field of medicine or modelling.

He is working with them on the Be 1 Scouting Tour, the biggest international modelling competition in India. The Be 1 Scouting Tour will visit 24 cities and towns across India over the course of ten months in search of potential models. Dr. Manu Bora has joined hands with the Be 1 Scouting Tour to help aspiring Indian models reach the international forum.
