 * Hi there. I'm sorry if you are having difficulty understanding the problems with this article. There are three main issues that I have highlighted, each of which is quite serious. All articles on Wikipedia must demonstrate that they are what Wikipedia calls notable. All this really means is that there must be enough reliable information available publically to write a meaningful article. The references you cite do not appear to have sufficient information for this purpose; you need to demonstrate that there are sufficient independent and reliable sources. Articles should not contain indiscriminate information that is of no interest to the general reader. There will be very little interest over a list of commercials that the performer has been involved in for example and this is inappropriate unless there is some particular reason that this is of interest. Such a reason should be stated in the article. It may be appropriate to discuss an individual advert if there is something particularly noteworthy about it. Finally, Wikipedia articles should present information in prose format (ordinary sentences like these in my reply) unless there is a good reason to do otherwise. Biographical articles are generally expected to contain significant prose; simply listing appearances and awards does not make a Wikipedia biography article.
 * If you are still not sure, I suggest you follow the links in my message above or on the tags I added to your page. You could also look at the featured articles of similar individuals, e.g. Preity Zinta perhaps. The welcome message posted to your talk page also has helpful links, including the perfect article and getting mentored.
 * Please note that this article is in no practical sense "yours". When you commit edits to Wikipedia you grant a license that allows other editors to modify your article in whatever way they see fit. If you are the subject (or personally or professionally close to the subject) of the article, Wikipedia asks that you follow the guidelines at WP:COI, including "COI editing is strongly discouraged."
 * Please don't take this as personal criticism. Writing good articles is not easy and many very good articles had humble beginnings. I suggest as a first step you concentrate on demonstrating notability; if an article's subject isn't demonstrably notable and encyclopedic, it may be deleted. Otherwise, editors are encouraged to improve articles over time.

Proper use of talk pages
I note my comment above was deleted by an IP user. Please do not delete other users' comments. This disrupts the flow of debate on a page and hampers arrival at a proper consensus. It is in direct violation of guidelines for the use of talk pages – see WP:TPO. Thank you. --MegaSloth (talk) 00:36, 17 December 2011 (UTC)

Clean up and removal of sources
I have cleaned up the article per WP:NPOV, WP:MOS and WP:NOTPROMOTION and removed some unsourced claims/credits (after verifying), a list of names of some actors and brands who the subject has worked for/with and an unnecessary section ''Press/media'. I have also removed some references which fail to verify the name of the subject and some were dead and Wayback Machine also fails to recover (I will be including the list soon). If you have any question please reply here of leave a message on my talk page. Thank you – If, please ping me by adding to your message, and signing it. GSS  (talk) 15:54, 31 October 2016 (UTC)
