Her personal life of late may have become popular fodder for speculation, but supermodel Ujjwala Raut seems undeterred by any of it.
Her personal life of late may have become popular fodder for speculation, but supermodel Ujjwala Raut seems undeterred by any of it. Ask her about filing for divorce from hubby Craig Maxwell, and she says she has ‘no regrets’. “There are so many people out there who have had it rougher than I have,” candidly states Ujjwala. “Also, I am a very positive person, so the way I see it — it’s best to live your life to the fullest, learn from your mistakes and move on. Nobody is perfect, right? I can only hope that my daughter Ksha is smart enough to not make the same mistakes though,” she adds.
As far as all the media attention on her personal life is concerned, she has learnt to take it in her stride. “I think the bottomline is that one should be happy — and that I am. I do my yoga and mediation regularly, and believe in living in the moment. Everything else is secondary,” says Ujjwala, who’s also been extremely busy with work.
“I just shot for Givenchy in New York and I am also walking for Manish Arora’s show in Rome this July. This apart, I have had several ad and magazine shoots which have seen me travel all over the country and abroad,” she enthuses.
So where does that leave her acting aspirations? “Well, I want to act and that’s why I have completed not one but two acting courses — one in NY and the other in Paris. I’m also in talks with several industry people — both in Bollywood and Hollywood. So let’s see what happens,” she says.
What’s her take on Diana Penty being the latest Indian model to cut it on New York fashion week’s runway? “Diana shows a lot of promise; she’s very talented and I’m glad for her. In fact, I did speak to her in NY. She just needs to be focused and she’ll turn out just fine,” says Ujjwala, who doesn’t take the ‘supermodel’ tag too seriously. “I live, I work and I have a personal life too; so everything has its own place. But one thing’s for sure — I won’t do any film for the heck of it nor will I walk for a show as a regular showstopper,” she signs off.
