To pass on the knowledge that she has gained over the years, Supermodel and social activist Naomi Campbell has shown interest in doing a masterclass with Indian girls.<\/p>\n
\u201cI plan to come back to India next year and the year after. I would like to do a masterclass with young girls, not just for those who want to be models but to boost confidence.
\n\u201cI would want to share the knowledge that I have learnt and would like to pass it on,\u201d Campbell, 47, said while speaking at the Hindustan Times Leadership Summit here on Friday.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen I was doing yoga in England, it wasn\u2019t clicking. I couldn\u2019t understand the mind, body and spirit part. I shut my phone and went to Kerala. I learnt yoga in 2012. It was such an amazing experience. I felt the peace and calm. I was a late bloomer to yoga,\u201d she said.
\nYoga, in fact, helped her to get rid of her short temper.
\nTalking about her strength, she said: \u201cI get my physical and mental strength from my mother. My life with her was minimal. Since she was a ballerina, I was raised by a nanny. My mother sacrificed a lot for me.\u201d<\/p>\n
Asked about black models, she said: \u201cI look up to Iman (Somali model-actress Zara Mohamed Abdulmajid). She is the most elegant woman I\u2019ve seen.\u201d
\nShe also busted a few myths about models.
\n\u201cIt\u2019s a myth that models are air heads or models shouldn\u2019t speak. Everyone has a personality and your career extends if you have your own personality,\u201d said Campbell, who joined the fashion industry when she was just a teenager.
\nOn social media, she said: \u201cI use my social platforms to stand up for causes I believe in, to support people. I don\u2019t try to show personal things.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe current generation may be the Instagram girls, but my girls and I have enough pictures we could put up every day for the next 35 years.\u201d
\nThe model, who is \u201cshocked\u201d by the Libyan slavery trade expose, is also known for her philanthropic work.
\nBut she says her work in philanthropy was \u201calways private. It wasn\u2019t for public adulation\u201d. She also spoke about getting into philanthropy and meeting South African leader Nelson Mandela.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
