Model-actress Nethra Raghuraman swears by her books.

She lives in the pages of her books. Model-actress Nethra Raghuraman, who hit the screen in 1999 with Govind Nihalani’s “Takshak”, says her role model is the rebel architect Howard Roark from Ayn Rand’s bestseller “The Fountainhead” who built skyscrapers in the US 75 years ago.

“I want to be like Howard Roark - he is an epitome of a person who has no malice towards anyone, no hatred. He loves his work and loves his woman. I want to have a love like him, which demands possession and ownership,” Nethra told IANS, when queried about her other big love in life apart from acting and modelling.

The model was in the city to walk the ramp for a fashion event showcasing jewellery by Surya Gold and Swarovski Elements.

“I have also read Ayn Rand’s ‘Atlas Shrugged’. Again, it’s a book that teaches you a lot. But it is not like ‘Fountainhead’ - I somehow lost track of it in the middle,” she said.
