The international modelling agency IMG has recently signed Indian models Monikangana Dutta and Vipasha Agarwal

The girls will now model in New York and Paris and be groomed by leading fashion experts in the world.

Are we looking at potential supermodels here? 

"Moni and Vipasha are dusky, unconventional beauties.

There is a natural aura about the two of them, besides their talent. Effortless charm translates into international success," says Marc Robinson, show director Lakme Fashion Week in Mumbai and Dubai Fashion Week.

"We need someone who can work in print and commercial media and can rule the ramp at the same time.

There are quite a few girls who have it in them, but sadly they are lured by the money and glamour of Bollywood films, not fashion."

Marc's favourite supermodel: Deepika Padukone was fabulous when she was a model. But since she is now vying for the top position in Bollywood, her attentions are reserved for silver screen and not the ramp.
