As with the other articles created by this editor, there is no coverage to establish notability and falls short of WP:GNG. The sources are brief mentions or simply do not meet the guidelines for WP:RS. Even is you assume that the included sources were reliable, they do not support the content as written in the article.

 * Delete. Seen this before, especially with biographies about Indian actors/public figures written by relatively new accounts. The sources seem like an attempt to pass the subject off as notable when even if twice as many sources of this nature were provided, they still don't provide anything other than passing mentions and thus the subject fails WP:Notability (people).

 * Comment - With Wikipedia, is not about the person is or isn't, it is about reliable sources say the person is or isn't. These sources need to be reliable which you have been informed of on numerous occasions but still seem to overlook. Please find references that meet the WP:RS guidelines to establish notability. If "he is one of the top models," then there will be reliable sources talking about it. As it is, the sources fall short of the guidelines and many of them do not support the content that they are listed to support. It looks like you shotgunned a bunch of passing mentions and press releases anywhere in the article to make it look like the sources support the information you created. --FoolMeOnce2Times (talk) 14:35, 29 April 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete - Lacks the significant coverage needed to establish notability. As an actor, there is only one film role, and some stage work which has not garnered a lot of attention.  The claim for being a top model the needs to beacked with reliable sources.  Of the references in the article, the Baangalore Mirror article is an interview which is focused on "the Sketches".  That constitutes the best sourcing for notability.  The only other reliable source is the Deccan Chronicle which is a passing mention.  My own searches turn up only more passing mentions like this which confirms he is a model, but fails to be anything more than a passing mention. -- Whpq (talk) 14:42, 1 May 2013 (UTC)
