Dark Side of Glamour

One can always associate individuals of different ambitions, interests and personality traits in a diverse country like India. In today's era, with a reasonable, if not substantial reduction in the gender inequality, one often comes across independent, ambitious women in different work sectors. Undoubtedly, the glamour industry is the most sought after industry. It is quite common to see modeling schools being set up in every by lane, which is a direct indication of many individuals trying to convert their inclination towards the glamour world into a full time profession. These schools promise to teach you the walk, the attitude and other ingredients necessary to announce your arrival in the glittering world, including movies.

A young, confident girl is always fascinated by the attention a model gets and would have had a secret desire of being admired in various magazines and billboards across the world. The glamour industry apparently seems to have everything ranging from a glamorous lifestyle to lots of money, name and fame. However, not many are aware of the dark side of the glamour world which has left many souls in a state of eternal dejection and helplessness.
