Hi Vivek, as you are interested in modelling and acting the basic requirement for those two fields is a good circle for you. If you want to get sold then try to create a good circle and it should be a bigger one. Both the fields required publicity and support. As a part of acting, you should be trying any kind of role in the initial stages but try only the roles which make good sense and message. Why I'm saying like this because my ultimate goal is to become an actor. And coming to modelling, if you have a design then share it with the top most designers and take their help in initial stages and I will say don't give the whole and original design until you believe in them.Try to participate in modelling competitions and approach more and more modeling companies.But for both the fields you should put your 100% effort. All the best!
