Prasad Bidapa

because he made Bangalore the new fount of beauty.

"After Sushmita and Aishwarya, every parent threw out
the purdah ."

There was a time, not too far ago, when beauty seemed captive to Mumbai. The city looked like the only assembly line in the country that churned out beauteous models of the biped variety. Then, along came a man from Bangalore called Prasad Bidapa who decided to look for home-grown beauties in his own town. And did he find them! On the street, in a pub, inside a college canteen, on a motorcycle, in his own office -- every time he turned, there seemed to be a hint of beauty. But to turn them all into Miss Indias, that was a challenge. And it became his passion. Very soon, Bangalore had its own Professor Higgins with a seemingly endless list of stunning, long-legged beauties that included two Miss Indias, one Miss World finalist and one Ford Supermodel. We hear that Kanpur wants him next.
