KINGFISHER


Calendar 2016


SUSHRII MISHRA
Shooting for the Kingfisher Calendar
was never in my plan because I always
thought that the girls who are chosen
for the calendar are incredibly gorgeous
with lots of oomph and killer attitude. It
is like being the Victoria’s Secret model
of India and I never saw myself there.

But having said that, shooting with Atul
Kasbekar was a dream for me and it was
one of the things in my life bucket list. I
went for the audition and the next thing
I know is that I’m getting a call that I’ve
made it and all I could do was scream
and laugh. I just could not believe it.
It was all like a dream even when we
reached Seychelles. Omg! That place was
unbelievably stunning.

We went to such beautiful locations.
I just couldn’t believe that all these
amazing things were happening to me.
The entire team was fabulous. Everyone
was so warm and so helpful throughout
the shoot. All the girls were amazing too.
All of us bonded so well. It was just like a
family and I miss all of them.

There would be days when I was
shooting, and it would be raining cats
and dogs. All of us would wait for it to
stop. And when it did, even if it was for
10 minutes, all of us would get on our
toes as if we had some super power to
get the shoot done. In a shot, I had to
pose in the middle of the waves. It was
really difficult because each time I would
pose, I was thrown away by the strong
currents. I was hammered by the sea, but
I wanted to keep going. The entire team
was so supportive and then finally at the
end of the shot, Atul said we had just
created magic. Now I just cannot wait for
the calendar to be launched.

Kingfisher Calendar was probably the
best experience of my life and it’s etched
so warmly in my heart that I will always
cherish it forever.
