The model and actor gets candid about having OCD, enjoying spending time alone and dreaming of walking for Gucci, Dior and Chanel one day
Born in Binnaguri, West Bengal, Hasleen, an Army kid, spent her childhood in various cities before settling in Delhi with her parents. After finishing her schooling from DPS, Vasant Kunj, she studied English Literature from Jesus and Mary College where she also gave modelling a shot but left it in the final year. After graduation, she joined the Indian Institute of Mass Communication to do a course in advertising and PR, and returned to modelling, walking for her first fashion week. She gave the fashion industry one last shot by participating in the Miss India pageant and was crowned Miss India Earth 2011. Then, there was no looking back as she moved to Mumbai after being signed by Kwan to start her career in showbiz. Apart from walking the ramp for top designers, gracing the cover of fashion magazines and numerous brand collaborations, she made her acting debut in Karle Pyaar Karle (2014). Currently, she is working on three projects—a film by Boney Kapoor, another by Luv Ranjan and a Netflix web series.
