Lisa Haydon to judge MTV India’s Next Top Model

Lisa Haydon will be seen judging MTV India’s Next Top Model, which gets underway in July. "I can't comment on the other names since I haven't heard about them being approached but I do know that there's been talk of the show coming to India for a while and strangely, for the last couple of years, they've always called me. And since it's an international franchise, I was keen", Lisa Haydon told Mumbai Mirror.

The reality show will be the Indian version of supermodel Tyra Bank’s show America’s Next Top Model. In 2013, it was announced that either Aishwayra Rai Bachchan or Deepika Padukone will be roped in to judge the show. But now it has been confirmed that Lisa will be stepping into the shoes of Tyra Banks, although there has been no word on the names of the other judges.

When quizzed about on what basis she will be judging the contestants Lisa said, that apart from good bone structure and height, which is derived from good genes, she aims to look into the contestant’s personality and sense of style. "You need to keep an open mind because top models come in different shapes, sizes and packages", she said. "I was 18 when I did my first commercial for stretch mark creams. My muscular, taut stomach was used to lure women in their 30s and 40s who had just had a baby to buy the product. It was unreal, a real eye-opener and proved all that glitters is not gold", she added.
