The actress will be showcasing celebrated Hyderabad-based designer Varun Chakkilam and playing muse for him on Sunday, March 21 at 5 pm. This won't be the first time the diva is walking for the Fashion Week. But walking down the ramp brings back sweet memories for the actress who was the runner-up at the Miss Universe India pageant.
"I really miss walking the ramp and till date I always get nostalgic about my Miss Universe India days whenever I get on to it. Those days were the beginning of my career when everything had started," she said feeling nostalgic. Since then, "I've come a long way but at the same time I feel like I have a long way to go," she added.

Apart from the diva playing showstopper, she has a number of exciting projects including her film Radhe Shyam with Prabhas, Cirkus with Ranveer Singh and Most Eligible Bachelor with Akhil Akkineni in her kitty!
