Twelve contestants came face-toface with the judges at the Grand finale of India’s International Face, held recently at The Westin in Mumbai. A Zoom initiative, the pan nation model hunt was for two faces that will represent India on the international fashion ramps at Milan and Paris.

The hunt began in May, with onground activities at colleges and malls in six cities (Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore, Chandigarh, Pune and Kolkata). This was followed by the regional auditions held locally there. The regional 24 winners were then brought to Mumbai for a 15 day grooming session with levels of eliminations built into the format.

Experts like Subi Samuel, Vikram Phadnis, Dr Jamuna Pai, Rukshana Eisa, Mickey Mehta, Hakim Aalim, Diana Hayden, Lubna Adams and Jesse Randhawa were involved in grooming and training them as per the international standards. Later, there were eliminations based on the contestants’ performance on the tasks given by the experts.

And finally the day arrived when two winners were crowned by the panel of judges — Gazi and Sangya Lakhanpal will get a chance to walk the ramps at the fashion weeks in Milan and Paris. Way to go!

Dr. Jamuna Pai was recently appointed to Allergan's Asia-Pacific Advisory Board which met at Melbourne, Australia to further increase awareness and set new protocols for their wonder drug-cosmetic, Botox and Juvederm dermal fillers.

"I am honored and excited to be a part of such a big institution and i'm sure i will be able to provide valuable inputs to increase awareness about India's potential as a market for medical aesthetics" said Dr. Pai who introduced Botox for the first time to India in the year 2000 through her clinics BLUSH and has been India's single largest injector of the lunchtime wrinkle remover ever since.

Dr. Pai has played an integral role in lifting prejudices that were commonly associated with Botox by having created 'Awareness and Acceptance' in the minds of thousands of Indians from every walk of life through the numerous workshops and seminars she has carried out in various cities throughout the country.

Now into their 11th year of association, Dr. Pai and Allergan are constantly coming up with new strategies to increase awareness of this wonder drug . This has nw led to the inception of the 'Botox Week', a joint initiative between Allergan India and Dr. Pai, held every couple of months at Blush, Dr. Pai's clinics. Botox now has become the most sought after cosmetic treatment accross the world, a status symbol once considered a taboo, all thanks to a few visionaries and entrepreneurs like Dr. Jamuna Pai.
