The heat is on! The excitement is peaking up with every single IPL match. And our very own Bengaluru models are doing an IPL trail and travelling across the country, for the after-party fashion shows.

We speak to a few on the fun times at these soirees.

Creating quite a flutter in the ongoing IPL Season 6 are city models Parto Gohari, Mitali Rannorey, Nina Mo, Jasleen Benipal, Vibhinta Verma, Viraja, Noyonita and others sashaying down the ramp in designer creations by designers like Riyaaz Gangji, Reshma Gangji, Rina Dhaka, Samant Chauhan, Nida Mahmood and others.

Model Parto Gohari, who is doing IPL shows for both Sheetal Sharma and Rahul Dev Shetty, has been on a roll ever since the season began. “The shows are so much fun, but it gets really late each time. We walk with the cricketers on the ramp and then dance with them after the shows. We also get a lot of compliments. Even though I’m not so much into cricket and cricketers, it’s fun to get to mingle with them. Gayle is a very sweet and funny guy. Only thing I wish for is more sleep. Most shows start only by midnight and the following day we start fittings and rehearsals by 2 in the afternoon. Some team owners and VIPs come really late and we have to wait for them for the shows to begin.”

But Bengaluru model Jasleen Benipal is all excited and happy with the buzz. She reveals, “I love my job and the IPL shows are so much fun. I’m used to staying up late nights. Yes, the long waiting hours for the shows to begin, when you’re all dressed with make-up and hair in place sometimes gets too much, but then I just grab a drink and have fun. One of the cricketers came up to me and said he finds Indian girls very pretty and said I was beautiful. Some of them even show attitude, but I love every bit of it.”

Another model who’s living life in the fast lane is Vibhinta Verma. She confesses, “Travelling out of town on shows is always great fun. The best one was when we were all in Goa and after a show all us models and others were chilling and we all got into the pool in our clothes and danced away to the latest Bollywood hits. Even though it’s tiring, as we need to take early morning flights coupled with late night shows, the high during the shows is something we all look forward to. The after-parties in Hyderabad are the most exciting. Most girls usually end up going from the parties straight to the airport to catch the early flights back to Bengaluru. Its funny to see all of us taking a power nap on the flights.”

Even the city choreographers are a busy lot with Sheetal Sharma doing the signature IPL shows and choreographer Rahul Dev Shetty doing the Videocon IPL shows in Pune and Mumbai. Touring with the models he admits to the shows being a fun riot all the way. “It’s been a blast. We are in a new city in a new bed and a new hotel every day and I keep forgetting which side the elevators are. Harbhajan Singh is the funniest of the lot and comes up with such wisecracks all the time.”
