Screen Saver of Aditi Govitrikar



Hailing from the small town of Panvel just outside Bombay, Aditi Govitrikar comes from a very typical Konkanestha Brahmin Maharashtrian family.However, Aditi is a study in contrasts. Being a Brahmin Hindu, she married a Muslim. And being a qualified gynaecologist, she chucked it up to become a model. "Modelling is where the money is," she says as a matter of fact. "I want to make money now while I can and then later on in life, I can go back to being a gynaec." The eldest of three children (her sister Arzoo, is following in her footsteps), Aditi did not even consider modelling until a close friend shot some pictures of her and passed it on to modelling agencies."Even before I won the Glad Rags Contest in 1997, I had done assignments for Ponds and Rexona," she tells us.

However, though Aditi may have become a Glad Rags Supermodel, she also won the 'Best Face' and 'Best Body' prizes in the Asian Supermodel contest held in Singapore later that year. At the height of her career, Aditi married her long-time sweetheart, Dr. Muzaffal Lakdawala."We met while both of us were studying medicine and he was always supportive of my modelling career. In fact, even after we got married a few years back, I’ve continued to model with no resistance on his part." That support from her husband seems to have paid off as Aditi recently won the Mrs. World title in Las Vegas. And in case you didn’t know, she’s also the mother of a two-year-old baby girl - Kiara.

In fact, when Aditi was eight months pregnant, she posed for the cover of Elle – though not nude like Demi Moore did for Vanity Fair back in 1991.Though she has done numerous ads and music videos, the most recent ones are the ad for Coke with Hrithik Roshan and the Kabhi Toh Nazar Milao video for Adnan Sami with Salil Ankola. Aditi has no qualms about saying that she was not the first choice for the coke advertisement. she says. However, Aishwarya could not provide dates for the shoot immediately and so the Coke team had to search for a replacement. They finally settled on Aditi Govitrikar as she looks a lot like Ash – what with her fair skin and green eyes! Is a film called Soch, directed by Susan Bhatnagar. "It’s a very thought-provoking film," says Aditi not wanting to talk further about her maiden acting venture. But what about modelling?

"My foray into films shouldn't be interpreted as the end of my modelling career. Call it my Gemini temperament or what you will, but I have this compelling urge to change my profession every now and then.'' So keen is Aditi on learning and experiencing new things in life, that she’s considering securing a PG degree in cosmetology. Aditi says, "It was a better feeling than when I won the Glad Rags title. It made me feel complete."
