Chitrangda Singh, who celebrates her birthday tomorrow, has established her foothold in the film industry with unconventional and unique roles. She started as a model and then ventured into Bollywood with Sudhir Mishra's critically acclaimed film, Hazaaron Khwaishein Aisi in 2005. Over the years, the actress has acted in diverse projects. But did you know what prompted her to pursue acting as a career?

In an old interview with Filmfare, Chitrangda revealed that her modelling career began after a 'ragging session' during her first year in college. The actress recalled, "My modelling journey started with a ragging session during my first year in college. We were made to wear ourSalwar Kameez inside out, had oil in our hair, had books in a bucket - and were told to do a ramp walk like that. That was officially my first-ever modelling audition. Apparently, I did pretty well and then became a part of the college fashion team."
