Monikangana wants to fly

Supermodel Monikangana Dutta, who by joining the league of international supermodels like Heidi Klum, Giselle Bundchen, Jessica Stam and Alessandra Ambrosio as brand ambassadress for a coveted lingerie brand, is mighty upset.
This Indian “angel” — that’s what these lingerie models are known as — who was to take off for the US and be a part of the brand’s 2011 campaign this month, has been stranded for an O-1 visa.The delay may keep her back till April.
Monikangana, who played Hrithik Roshan’s love interest in Guzaarish, is unhappy but hopeful that things will work out.
A trained Kathak dancer, the supermodel also has her eyes on Bollywood as she received appreciation for her acting skills in her debut role, but says, “While films is where I would like to head, my passion remains modelling.” Having walked for many celebrated designers in Mumbai and Delhi including Manish Malhotra, Wendell Rodricks and Neeta Lulla, Monikangana has the entire fashion fraternity in India rooting for her to make it big abroad. If the visa works out, she will be the first Asian angel of the brand.
