 Rishi in his photo shoot for On Display Men by Frazier Photography & Video in Dallas ODM:
Where you are from and where do you live now?
Rishi:
I am originally from West New York, but now I live in New York City or in Albany, NY when school is in session. Most people think I am a melting pot of races, but I am mostly Indian and proud of it!
ODM:
Where are you going to school?
Rishi:
I attend Rennselaer and major in a Accelerated Management Law B.S./J.D. which is a 6 year program.
ODM:
What sports do you play?
Rishi:
In high school, I played varsity basketball and football. I also competed in varsity track & field; I threw the javelin and ran the short distance.
ODM:
How did you get started in modeling?
Rishi:
Initially, On Display Men discovered me and I had my first modeling experience with them. Now I am working with New York City commercial and fitness agencies and hopefully flourish in this competitive and unstable industry. My dream is to land a modeling campaign with either a major fashion or fitness company.
ODM:
How do you stay in excellent shape?
Rishi:
It’s really 90% diet and 10% physical training for me. I feed my body with great nutritious food. Most of my diet consists of high quality lean protein and complex carbohydrates and hardly any fat. Of course, I do treat myself to occasional fast food however. To compliment my diet, I workout 3-4 days a week for about an hour and usually play a lot of intramural sports; football, basketball, and rugby; just to name a few.
ODM:
What is your birthday and astrology sign?
Rishi:
I was born on February 18 and that makes me an Aquarius.
ODM:
What about your personality matches your astrology sign?
Rishi:
I follow the traditional traits of an Aquarius. I am intellectually inclined. I love to read. I am extremely friendly and loyal to all my friends. I can also be very unpredictable and surprise the world with my actions and thoughts.
ODM:
What drives you to achieve your goals?
Rishi:
My family and friends do play a major role and drive myself to achieve my goals. However, I find myself really independent at times and can only achieve my dreams by my ambition and will.
ODM:
What are your other interests; besides working out and modeling?
Rishi:
On a personal level, I love to go to lounges and clubs in New York City and downtown Albany. You can most certainly catch me there on the weekends. I travel a lot and love to spend a lot of my time at various beaches. I also love to spend time with my closest friends and family and share some laughs and great times with them at any free moment I get.
ODM:
What would you like to say to your fans?
Rishi:
I want to leave off by saying thanks to all the On Display Men readers and subscribers and to check out my calendar. Also, if you need any advice on nutrition, working out, or just let me know.
ODM:
Why are you excited to be part of On Display Men?
Rishi:
Since we live in a society that images hold more worth than words, I find my opportunity at On Display Men very significant and exciting.
