On A Date With Candice Boucher: Part 3

Ever thought what would've happened if there was no internet? Now don't be such a dumb! There, obviously, would not be any 'for your eyes only' Candice Boucher. So all you would've asked God was to make you her next door neighbour. That would sort you out I guess! But argue all you want, the case can be made that Candice is one of the coolest babes on the planet I've ever met. She's more than just a pretty face and a hot body. Come to think of it, Boucher is exactly like your next door neighbour - fun loving, talks her heart out and doesn't talk bull****. So the other day when I mentioned the name Candice Boucher to another guy on the music launch of Aazaan, he had a grin on his face, while, no doubt, fantasizing. But when I mentioned her name to a female celebrity friend, the response was almost 'no response'. She said, "Candice is pretty", then after a pause continued, "Pretty tall I mean". Well, we all know what she meant, didn't we? Wherever she goes, heads turn. Yes, they really turn. And by the end of the night you really require that pain relief balm. To be honest, the more time you spend with Candice, you find out that she is a bit reserved too, a bit vulnerable, and wouldn't really reveal too much about her boyfriend. But the moment she did, the Earth started to tremble. So did I. Then I looked at her face and the Earth stood still. I wish I could pause this moment in my life. But I can't, and with that final warm hug she bid good-bye. My delectable 'date' disappeared but left behind for me those special two hours we spent together that I can pause and have a look at it again and again and again.....

Devansh Patel: So you're telling me that you really don't want to try Hollywood at all?

Candice Boucher: Yes, not for the time being. I really don't want to jump from one thing to the other. Right now my modelling is going pretty well. Once you go into the movies, modelling suffers big time. I'm really enjoying my work as of now and I'm not doing the same kind of work that I used to do. I know the time I have left in the modelling world is less but I'd want to capitalise on every moment I have.

DP: Do you recall your first catalogue shoot?

CB: Aahh! I really have to think now. If I'm not mistaken, I did a Russian brand. It was this swim wear thing.

DP: Which has been your best catalogue ever?

CB: Again this is a tough one. My German catalogues are good because they are steady clients. It's a bit monotonous but it's satisfying. The 'Guess' jeans was great to do with a wonderful crew. I pushed a little bit further than what I was used to doing.

DP: Let me tell you this, I love the South African accent. I can even imitate you guys.

CB: (laughs) Oh yea. Let's see you do it.

DP: Ok then. I first started imitating my two colleagues who were from South Africa back in my London days.

CB: Oh, is it? And do you meet them often?

DP: Not really. I've left the UK now and based in India. I was working in the UK for eight years. That's where I met them. But tell me, are you an avid reader?
