It took him five years to land his first professional modelling gig. Singh is open about his personal flaws but not discouraged by them.

"My height is 5 feet, 10 inches. This is a low-end model in India. Even with Streax, I had to continuously ask them to allow me walk the ramp. They consented to the condition that I wear heels."

This is how the former Swiggy agent ended up walking the ramp for a haircare company in five-inch heels.

How did people on the internet react?

The video has 3.9 million views and thousands of comments on Instagram. Many people encouraged Singh to pursue his dreams, others called him handsome and complimented him on his looks. Here's what people wrote.
