Fashion week models face numerous obstacles, from towering heels to unexpected stumbles on the runway.

She highlighted that getting back up was the only controllable aspect of the situation.
Supermodel Candice Pinto observes a shift in audience reactions; earlier, falls brought silence and camera focus, but now, audiences often cheer, offering encouragement. However, this increased empathy within the venue is juxtaposed with amplified scrutiny from social media, where incidents can go viral.

While an accident can be shaken off, it necessitates a more careful approach. Sonalika Sahay adds that while a first-time fall can shake confidence, it becomes a learning experience, with the understanding that such incidents can happen to anyone and are part of the profession.
