How Pooja Mor is Bringing Her Indian Culture to Modeling

Mor is getting used to certain questions. "I'm from Gujarat. It's a state, and Ahmedabad is the city," explains the 24-year-old model politely. "Should I spell it?"

It's been only a matter of months since Mor left her native India and moved to New York City, but she's already had her share of, if not culture shock, let's say culture surprise. "The food in India is very different," says the vegetarian, who has had to learn how to cook. Plus, back in Gujarat, Mor practiced yoga regularly ("Here it's very commercial"), and she wasn't prepared for the lack of meditation in her adopted city. "Back in India, meditation is so normal," says Mor, who still meditates for at least a half hour every day. "Here, people don't seem to realize how important it is to clean your mind."

Don't misunderstand. Mor is thoroughly enjoying every minute of her new career—which has included, among other things, photo shoots for Indian Vogue and Italian Vogue, not to mention an auspicious start to a runway career by way of Louis Vuitton (plus Stella McCartney, Alexander McQueen, and Elie Saab).

Modeling was never part of her master plan. When she was a university student in India, Mor "was organizing a pageant, and one of my friends put my name in—somehow I ended up winning it," she says, even sounding wide-eyed about the result.

That's when her mother stepped in. "My mom said I had to finish school, then I could do whatever I wanted, so I finished," says Mor, possibly the only model at India fashion week with a degree in engineering. From there it was a quick hop to New York City, where she's now living in an apartment with a few other models.

Despite being 10 zillion miles from her family, Mor says she doesn't get too homesick, thanks to technology. "I Skype my mom a lot," she says. "We're really close." And of course, there are the things that only her mother can provide. "She's teaching me how to cook lentils and masalas."
