Renee Kujur Biography
Renee Kujur is an Indian model and social media personality who gained attention for her striking resemblance to international singer Rihanna. Born in Piri
Early life and backgroundRenee Kujur was born Renu Kujur on 31 January 1985 in Pirai Village, Bagicha tehsil, Jashpur district, Chhattisgarh, India. She grew up in a lower-middle-class family as one of three children. Her father, Fidilius Kujur, worked in government service and later faced serious health challenges, and her mother, Felicita Kujur, worked as a house help. Renee completed her schooling despite financial constraints in the family and early pressures that suggested a limited range of options for her future.
From childhood she was drawn to performance and appearance. A school fancy dress event left a lasting impression on her, and as she grew older she continued to develop an interest in modelling. She changed her given name Renu to Renee after advice from a modelling agency.
Career
Renee began pursuing modelling seriously in her late twenties and started working in the industry at age 28. Early on she supported herself through odd jobs and later worked as a salesperson in a Tommy Hilfiger store before being signed by a modelling agency. She is represented by Satin Models India and has experience in runway work, catalogue shoots and look books.
Her breakout moment came after a photoshoot for designer JJ Valaya, when images showing her dark complexion and features drew comparisons to the international star Rihanna. Those photographs spread widely online and brought Renee sudden recognition as a lookalike, an association she and others embraced publicly.
Following that exposure she modelled for established brands including Reebok and Tommy Hilfiger and for Lara Morakhia Jewellery. Renee has walked the ramp at fashion events such as India Runway Week and Asian Designer Week and has worked with designers including Pam Mehta, Chetan Chiller and Vijay Balhara. She has also been featured on the cover of Raipur Lifestyle Magazine.
In 2019 Renee made her television debut as a contestant on the modelling reality show MTV Supermodel of the Year, which introduced her to a wider audience and linked her with major names and platforms in the Indian fashion scene.
Public profile
Renee has spoken openly about the obstacles she faced entering the modelling industry, including repeated rejections tied to her darker skin tone and expectations about age and background. She has described pressure from some photographers and clients to appear lighter in photographs, and has discussed how bias in the industry affected early opportunities. Despite these challenges, she credits the resemblance to Rihanna for creating a steady stream of modelling work.
She is comfortable in both Hindi and English, lists travelling and shopping among her hobbies, and cites the Rihanna song "We Found Love" and the street food pav bhaji among her preferences. Renee has two tattoos and has used the Instagram handle "badgirlrene," a nod to the singer she is frequently compared with.
Latest updates
Renee remains active in modelling and social media. Her television appearance on MTV Supermodel of the Year in 2019 and subsequent campaigns and runway shows have kept her visible in the fashion circuit. She has expressed a desire to meet Rihanna in person and says that encounter would be a milestone for her own journey.
She is unmarried and continues to be based in her hometown region in Chhattisgarh while working across modelling assignments.
