This season saw actress-model Malaika Arora as the host and head judge, actor Milind Soman joining photographer Dabboo Ratnani on the judging panel, and actress Anusha Dandekar and grooming expert Neeraj Gaba reprising their roles as mentors. "India's Next Top Model' is a lifetime experience for me. I am saying this because from all the contestants, I was the only one who had no experience of the big fashion world in big cities like Mumbai," Riya said in a statement. "The biggest highlight for me was the photoshoot with Milind Sir and Malaika Ma'am. When I decided to take part in 'India's Next Top Model', I knew that this show is going to change my life forever so when judges announced my name as the winner I had all the memories coming back. "As I look back, I must say that this wouldn't have been possible without my parent's support, and a special thanks to the makers of the show who gave me the new identity of a model," she added.
