It has become more competitive and many youngsters want to take it up as a full-time profession. And this is why we are coming up with the fifth season of the show."To catch a viewer's attention there should be something different from the previous season. So, what is the USP of the show this time? "Besides celebrity judges, this time there would be mentors too.

Their potential, height and looks all add up to it," says Nisha. Talking about the fitness regimen, Yasmin says, "Most of the girls slouch, so we are focusing more on their posture. We have included circuit training, boot camping and pilates training to make them fit. Similarly, we have also given them diet schedules. Moreover, to boost their morale, many interactive sessions will be organised to clear their doubts."Talking about the shooting sessions, Nisha says, "Earlier the contestants were informed about their shoots in advance, but this time, to check their natural look, surprise-shooting sessions too will be organised. Besides bikini shots, shots with male partners are also being organised to verify their level of confidence and the way they carry themselves in different situations."So it seems, the show has become tough for the contestants. The focus is not just on physical fitness or looks, it will also lay emphasis on all the aspects of modeling.
