Move over dance and singing reality shows.
It's time for a fashion reality show, and surprise, surprise, Neil Nitin Mukesh is among the judges!
Glam Fame Season 1 will hold auditions across the country, and the selected models will be mentored and judged on the show.
Hitesh Harisinghani/Rediff.com and Afsar Dayatar/Rediff.com tell us more.
First things first, what does fashion mean to Neil Nitin Mukesh?
He tells us in this video.
"I hesitate when I have to wear blingy kind of fashion. That's not my sense of fashion but I reserve all that for films. In my personal life, I'm a little conservative," he adds.
Sunny Leone and Esha Gupta will join Neil on the show's jury.
Ace photographer Dabboo Ratnani, who has shot the portfolios of many rising stars, comes on Glam Fame as a mentor.
"I like to deal with newcomers and encourage them. They need the right guidance," he says.
Former Mr World Rohit Khandelwal will also be one of the mentors on the show, and he gives some useful tips on how to become a model and sustain one's career.
"I come from a Marwadi family and I love them but they have no idea I'm sitting here because they have a different life. You have to self-motivate," Rohit says.
Influencer Santoshi Shetty and Dinesh Shetty (who won Vidyut Jammwal's action reality show First Ultimate Warrior) will also be mentors on Glam Fame.
Karan Chabra will host the show.
These days, Bollywood stars become the show-stoppers in fashion shows, unlike the days of yore when supermodels like Arjun Rampal and Milind Soman did the needful.
Neil's answer brings on the laughs: "If models can become actors, then why can't actors become models?"
