In a conversation with Navi Lubana, he speaks about his
fascination for the work of a video director during his early days as a model.
He used to observe the director carefully in order to understand and learn the
craft better. Though he has moved over to the back of the camera as a video
director, he hasnÂt let go of modelling
completely.
Navi Lubana was born and brought up in Jalandhar and
completed his MBA in International Business and Finance from Amity University,
Noida. He later went on to study at the California State University, Birkbeck
University, London to broaden his horizons and world view. Working as a Financial Analyst at American
Express, he had made everyone proud back home.
But despite all of the success, his inclination towards
music and video direction grew every day. He had his first modelling break in
America where he walked the ramp at the American University. From that day on,
he hasnÂt looked back and has continued to shine with the support of his family
and friends.
His journey has not been a piece of cake until date. He has had his fair share of blunders and last-minute panic moments ranging from non-completion of sets in time, no suitable locations for shoots to technical issues hindering an ongoing shoot. But these have never stopped him and he continues to move forward with his team and always thanking God for their support. He talks very passionately about his team, ÂWith the help and support of my amazing team, even a bad place can easily be turned into something great!Â
He aspires to make a mark in the Punjabi Music Industry with
his aesthetically as well as emotionally enriching music videos. His hard work
and sheer will have helped him survive his competition and he is ready to put
all in for his future here. His message to the younger generation is simple yet
essential, work hard to fulfil your dreams but never forget your parents and
their smiles.
