Ace ad-man Prahlad Kakkar says, "A potential supermodel has to have great DNA.

She has to have an appetite for life, an energy, a zest - it can only be inborn"

Prahlad believes no amount of grooming can replace these natural traits in a model.

"We need better talent spotters to single out supermodels from the crowd," he adds.

Prahlad's favouite supermodel: Madhu Sapre.

She wears her attitude on her sleeve. She is unconventionally beautiful and the best part is, she knows it.

She took to the ramp like fish to water. Her inborn qualities have made her a supermodel.

"You need to have the attitude and super confidence running through each cell in your body and that will reflect through your personality," Prahlad concludes.
