No one is perfect in this world. Everyone have some flaws, everyone have some insecurities. I am like everyone. I dream about a lot of things, I don't have my life figured out and I am a total mess most of the time but it's ok to be like that sometimes, and if you are in same situation, trust me, you are not alone. My name is Ritika Verma and I am from India.

For a very long period of time, I had this idol image in mind like if you want to be in Fashion industry, you need to be skinny, have fair skin, height, a beautiful face, and so, for many years I felt like I am not beautiful or attractive because I don't fit the criteria. And honestly, everyone has thought the same thing around me because it actually was the only criteria we knew a few years back. The fact that Fashion Hero series is allowing every shape, size, and color to be a part of this is enough to gain +10 respect points for me. The idea of implementing diversity friendly fashion series could be different because of the premade images people have because of society but the fact that Fashion Hero series gave it a try and made it work is the coolest thing. I have seen fashion portals before and this is the first one which didn't asked my waist, bust and height yet, which is a great thing I guess, cz no one is gonna judge me before actually knowing me and my personality. Well, be it anyone in the world, everyone want to move ahead in life, and Fashion Hero is a great platform for showcasing the talent. And I feel like even if there is no pre talent, it could always be made.

I am not a superhero. The only thing I want is to create a positive environment for myself as well as for people around me. I want to achieve the level of mental peace where I don't feel insecure and I want to pass same thing in the world. I am not sure if this is possible or not but even when I am not at that state, I still want to remind myself and other people that it's ok to feel certain way at certain time. I am not the best person and I'll never be, but I am trying to improve myself everyday.
