Rouhallah Quazim or simply Gazi is India’s one of top model, he is basically from Kashmir and he is walked for many huge brands, and has been in Raymond commercial. He is currently busy in Lakme fashion week.
#Breaking into the industry
After finishing his 12th he worked as as a medical assistant in a hospital in Bangalore when he heard about the India’s International Face contest in Bangalore, he than participated in it and won .he then came to Mumbai with dreams but was rejected by Lakme and other brands. Than In 2012, he was selected by Lakme and he did his first show with designer James Ferriera.
#The tough struggle
Everyone comes with a dream so Gazi did, but as we know nothing comes so easy. He faced lots of problems from having no money to pay the rent to doing shows free but doing too many shows puts you in disadvantage because most big brands want fresh faces. The first year was very tough for him. And there were time in start of 2015 when he packed his bags and thought of going to his hometown ,for helping his mother who was struggling alone after the death of his father .
#The magic of Raymond
In 2014 when he was at his home a call from an agent came who asked him to send some fresh photographs and a video. As he had no good shoes and dress for video calling, he borrowed it from his friend and did the video calling. As it was a amateur video so he left all hopes of selection until one day when a call came, which stated that he was selected to shoot a Raymond commercial.
# The good things
Been a model is glamorous people know you, money fame everything . The job allows you to travel for free. Sometimes clients ask us if we’d like to extend our stay and go sightseeing or shopping, and most of us agree to stay back and enjoy a short holiday after work. He has been to Jakarta, Macau, Hong Kong and I would love to go to Cape Town some day.
#What so difficult
There are times when choreographers and designers scream at you for no reason. If you lose your cool, you’ll lose a contract. You must learn to be calm and believe in yourself even when things are not working to your merit.
So this is all about Gazi and his struggle……………………….
