Before Bipasha, it was Vidisha who won the Ford Supermodel of the Year title back in 1996 -- she was the contest's first-ever Indian winner.
Bangalore fashion guru Prasad Bidappa first convinced Vidisha to dabble in modelling in the mid-1990s and a short while later Paris, Milan and London came calling. Vidisha ultimately returned to India, where she has been a major force in marketing and modelling over the last decade.
For all of India's insistence on fair skin, sexy Vidisha epitomises the dusky, exotic good looks our women are famous for.
