Shocked by the news of @

original, a man of courage &

Heaven needed all those
qualities in one man. RIP.

He was one of the most iconic & original
designers in fashion & A champion for LGBT
rights. He had given me an opportunity to close
his fashion week show in Mumbai after spotting
me in Bangalore at a fashion show and was
gracious, kind & encouraging. He was one
of the reasons I had the courage to move to
Mumbai from Bangalore to pursue modelling
when I was just 18 years old. RIP Wendell

to say goodbye in person today so
will save that for another time when I
see you on the other side.

RIP #WendellRodricks ..Can
never forget the love & kindness
u showed me when I was starting
my journey as an MTV VJ. You
literally picked me out of a bunch
and told everyone I would make it.
It meant so much to me as did all
our chats in French. Tu es avec les
anges mon ami
