Contest Format 

The contest will consist of the following 3 rounds - 

Introduction Round:  This is your opportunity to get the judges attention. Walk the ramp and share a little bit about yourself with the audience. Be ready to say one line about how you relate (or not) with Bollywood and what/who inspires you.  

Talent Round: Contestants selected for this round will get an opportunity to do an act (no more than 2 minutes) to demonstrate their talent. Make it fun and creative to wow the judges!

Final Round: All contestants will wear formal evening attire (preferably Indian formal wear) for the final round fashion show. Top 5 Finalists will be selected for the final question/answer round.   Contestants will have to put their thinking cap on! Each contestant will be judged based on their answers to questions, ability to handle pressure and intellect. 

Contestants will be coached on walk/ positioning on the stage and ramp with music. They will also learn simple choreographed routines for the different rounds and fashion show.
