Pooja Mor Biography

Indian model Pooja Mor rose from engineering student to international runway star, known for high-fashion shows and magazine covers. She has walked for top

Early life and background
Pooja Mor was born on 16 November 1991 in Bareilly, Uttar Pradesh. She spent her school years at Vidya Devi Jindal School in Hisar and later moved to Ahmedabad to study engineering at Nirma University. While at university she entered and won a campus beauty contest, an experience that redirected her ambitions from engineering toward modelling.

Career
After finishing a B.Tech, Mor quietly left for Delhi to pursue modelling. Early in her career she worked as a freelance model, navigating the practical and financial challenges of the industry while receiving support from her brother. Her breakthrough began after winning regional contests—including Clean & Clear Ahmedabad Times Fresh Face in 2012—and participating in Indian Princess 2013. A Mumbai agency signed her in 2014, which allowed her to concentrate on professional assignments and relaunch from the country’s fashion capital.

That year she also appeared in several national glossies and earned multiple cover shots, which increased her visibility. A photograph posted by a friend to Instagram led to contact from Elite Model Management in New York, and in 2015 she moved to New York. Her international runway résumé includes shows for Louis Vuitton, Givenchy, Stella McCartney, Roberto Cavalli, Alexander McQueen, JW Anderson, Dolce & Gabbana, Prabal Gurung, Altuzarra, Elie Saab and Topshop. One of the noted highlights of her early international work was walking for Louis Vuitton’s Cruise show in Palm Springs in 2015.

Mor’s editorial and magazine presence has been significant. She was featured in and covered titles such as Grazia, Harper’s Bazaar, Cosmopolitan and Femina in 2014. Vogue included her on its cover in 2016 and she later appeared on the cover of Vogue Arabia and on a cover alongside actor Vicky Kaushal. Industry recognition followed: she received Vogue’s Model of the Year Award in 2016 and was named a Young Achiever of the Year in 2019. In 2017 she was listed among the 100 most influential people in fashion.

Her runway experience has had its dramatic moments. In 2016 she fell during a Givenchy show after her foot twisted but quickly recovered and completed the walk, crediting determination and support for her ability to finish the show.

Public profile
Mor has been open about her disciplined approach to health and work. She has described a daily workout routine of about one and a half hours and keeps a regular diet that includes staples such as daal and rice. During the COVID-19 pandemic she adapted her creative process to home environments, paying close attention to natural light and setting for at-home shoots.

Beyond modelling, she practices Falun Dafa, a mind-and-body self-improvement discipline based on principles she has spoken about publicly. She is also trained to fly airplanes and has shared personal tastes—she favors black outfits and cites Blake Lively and the film Wonder Woman among her favourites.

Controversies and public reactions
In 2014 Mor participated in an editorial photoshoot created by photographer Raj Shetye that referenced the 2012 Delhi gang-rape. The shoot drew wide condemnation and prompted responses from public figures and organisations, and it generated significant controversy at the time.

Latest updates
In 2019 Mor delivered a TED Talk on how adversity can be beneficial, and she continued to appear on high-profile magazine covers and in international fashion circles. She remains active in fashion and media and has continued to work across markets while speaking about her personal practices and experiences in interviews.

Personal details
Pooja Mor is Indian by nationality and, as of 2024, is 33 years old. She lists travelling, reading and watching movies among her hobbies. She has a tattoo on the right side of her back. Her family includes a brother, Sudhir, who is a product designer. She is unmarried.
