A remarkable tale of a 24-year-old man from Mumbai’s streets to the fashion runways is motivating countless dreamers across India. For Sahil Singh, what initially started as various odd jobs to make a living has evolved into a thriving modeling career. This year, he graced the runway for Streax.
Singh’s journey kicked off as a food delivery worker, transitioned to a chef, and eventually led him to model professionally.
In a widely circulated video on social media, Singh documented his incredible transformation. He disclosed that prior to entering the fashion world, he spent two years as a Swiggy delivery agent, then worked for a year as a chef at Burger King, and spent the following eight months at Mango Mart. It wasn’t until after these roles that he secured his first modeling opportunity. His post featured the caption, “Delivery boy to sales executive to MODEL.”
How A Poster Changed His Life?
After leaving school, he undertook various odd jobs to support himself. As a Swiggy delivery agent, he made between Rs 18,000 and Rs 22,000 per month. Nonetheless, his aspiration to become a model remained steadfast. “In 2009, I saw a poster of a model and realized this was my passion. Back then, I was selling wallets on the street. Since 2017, I have been seeking knowledge on how to enter the industry,” Singh told the media.
Despite attending nearly 200 auditions, Singh encountered obstacles due to his height. “At 5 feet 10 inches, I am on the shorter side for a model in India. Even with Streax, I had to continuously ask for the chance to walk the ramp. They agreed, but on the condition that I wear heels,” he explained. Ultimately, he walked the ramp for Streax this year.
Now, Singh serves as a mentor for aspiring models, offering tips and advice on social media. He frequently shares videos on men’s grooming and styling on his Instagram and has recently launched a series aimed at guiding newcomers to the industry.
