You must be living in a secluded place if you have never heard the name Alicia Kaur. The supermodel apparently created quite a stir thanks to her perfected chemistry with showstopper Sidharth Malhotra at a recent keynote fashion show. Alicia took the lead and created a sizzling hot moment with the actor that left many laypeople, who were unaware that the moment was pre-planned, gasping in shock.
In fact, in a tongue-in-cheek “apology” for the same, Alicia had also shared a video of the moment on her Instagram stories with the hashtag #sorrykiara. The recent high-fashion fiasco, if you can call it that, raises a question: who is Alicia Kaur?
Alicia Kaur is a true runway regular. As a rule of thumb, this includes but is not limited to groundbreaking FDCI events like Lakme Fashion Week and India Couture Week. In fact, Alicia has been walking the runway at Lakme Fashion Week year after year for a decade, as she revealed in an interview with Elle in March 2024.
More recently, Alicia has been a recurring face on the runway at India Couture Week, where she walked for designers Abu Jani and Sandeep Khosla, Amit Aggarwal, Isha Jajodia, Jayanti Reddy, Dolly J, Kunal Rawal and Falguni Shane Peacock.
Off the runway, the supermodel is a top choice for high-profile campaigns, her most recent being the Sabyasachi Bridal Couture 2024. She is also listed as a health coach, nutritionist and meditation teacher on her YouTube channel.
Alicia had been fascinated with the idea of becoming a model since she was three years old. However, modeling during her childhood wasn’t really her thing. After numerous rejections, 45 to be exact, Alicia was finally signed by a reputable agency – but that didn’t mean the end of her efforts to make it big. She left Australia and tried to make it in different places like China and Europe. Finally, arriving in India gave her the much-needed boost she was looking for and after that she never looked back.
Although being the epitome of health is an occupational hazard for models, Alicia’s personal investment in her health and body is incredible. In the past, she has shared that her undying personal goal is to “be the healthiest person from the inside out,” not just physiologically, but mentally and spiritually as well. One motto Alicia swears by is that everyone is “enough” just as they are.
Worth knowing: This is not the first time that Alicia has caused a stir with her escapades on the ramp
Earlier this year, Alicia opened the show for designer Shahin Mannan at Lakme Fashion Week by walking backwards. It was the first time the supermodel had done something like this and the unique move was met with huge applause from fashion fans in the rows.
What do you think about Alicia and Sidharth’s much-talked about runway moment?
