Where is Madhu Sapre now? The Miss India who became India’s most controversial supermodel

Published by Webster

Most people remember Madhu Sapre for one photograph. The year was 1995. The image featured Madhu and actor-model Milind Soman posing nude, wrapped in a python, for a Tuff Shoes advertisement. The campaign sparked nationwide outrage, triggered obscenity and wildlife protection cases, and dragged the duo through a legal battle that lasted 14 years before they were acquitted. But long before that photograph made headlines, Madhu Sapre had a very different dream. She never wanted to be a model. Madhu grew up as a sportsperson. Trained by her father from a young age, she competed in athletics throughout school and college, winning several medals. Fashion was never part of her plan. That changed when celebrated fashion photographer Shantanu Sheorey spotted her at a party and encouraged her to audition for a modelling assignment.

Madhu Chopra learns expert tips to beat dry mouth in summer

3 min readNew DelhiMay 15, 2026 11:00 PM IST Dermatologist Dr Madhu Chopra, in a recent interaction with cosmetic and dental artistry expert Dr Neetika Modi, learned about tips to protect a dry mouth in the summer. “Most people think that if they have dry mouth, rinsing would help. Most mouth rinses have alcohol or an astringent, which worsens it. What you can have is lukewarm salt water, which alkalises your mouth,” Dr Modi said. Dr Modi added that oil pulling is another way. “It is good to sleep after oil pulling at night, which helps avoid open-mouth breathing, and it also helps avoid a dry mouth. The pink in your mouth remains pink, and the teeth shine. You are also working on your facial muscles. It also takes care of the bad bacteria. It is a great thing to do oil pulling.” DISCLAIMER: This article is based on information from the public domain and/or the experts we spoke to.
