"I am a model," says three-year-old Nayantara.
She flashes a winning smile into a television camera and apes mommy doing the catwalk.
A mass of dark curls, endless legs and dusky skin -- these are the makings of mommy -- none other than the diva-esque Noyonika Chatterjee.
She recently walked the ramp at the Will Lifestyle India Fashion Week, Delhi.
So, we caught up with her for some chit-chat backstage, where she's casually dressed in denims and a shirt and no makeup.
Besides modeling, marriage (she tied the knot with television actor Gurpreet Singh in 2001) and motherhood, Noyonika who's been modelling for over a decade seems to have lots on her platter.
"I get many offers to walk the ramp. But I've reached a stage where I don't need the visibility or the money. I only pick and choose shows that I really feel like doing, "she tells us.
"I've been doing a couple of projects, training models and contestants for different kinds of contests," she adds.
