But when I go back, I will be there in time for the New York Fashion Week,’’ she smiles. So how different is the modelling scene in the West from the one in India? Says Rohini, ‘‘Here, models are looked upon as stars. There — whether you are big or small — you have to struggle. And it all depends on whether you fit into what they are looking for. Otherwise, no hard feelings!’’ Talking about her future plans she says, ‘‘Well, I want to continue working in the US for as long as I can. I love it there.’’ VINOD NAIR
