The advent of Veena Mukundan into modeling was never a preplanned one. Veena, a native of Amballur in Ernakulam district, was working as a television anchor when she chanced upon an advertisement inviting entries for the Manorama Metro Queen Contest. Even when she mailed one of her photographs to the contest, she did not without any expectations. But, Veena was destined for a luminous career. She won the title of Metro Queen 2016. She also won the runner-up title for the Malayali Manka contest. The double triumph boosted her confidence and soon Veena emerged a popular model. Veena Mukundan, an anchor and a dazzling model, has been chosen as this week's Manorama Model.
