India’s much anticipated Kingfisher Swimsuit Calendar 2014 features six models, mostly beauty pageant winners, including former Miss Canada and Vancouverite, Sahar Biniaz.

Other models include Sobhita Dhulipala, who recently represented India at Miss Earth 2013 in the Philippines, former Miss Earth Nicole Faria, former Miss India International Rochelle Rao, model Rikee Chatterjee, and yet-to-be announced winner of the Hunt for the Kingfisher Supermodels 2014. The calendar will launch in Mumbai Dec. 21.

Shot in beautiful pristine locations of Boracay and Cebu in the Philippines, the beauties were styled by Leepakshi Ellawadi, with international make-up artist Bianca Hartkopf working on their looks.

“The exotic locales of Boracay and Cebu proved to be a perfect location for outdoor shooting with its unique topography, making it an impeccable and enchanting backdrop for the shoot,” photographer Atul Kasbekar, who has been associated with the Kingfisher Calendar since its inception in 2003, said in a statement.—IANS
