  I’m having a working birthday in Delhi and the celebrations began last night around 11pm where all the other models created a naughty cake for out of all the sweets that were laid out on the buffet table. But later on, at 12-o-clock, they brought it my real birthday cake and sang to me. Of course, they didn’t miss the opportunity to smash it on my face!”

• In 2016, she was invited to Bipasha Basu`s wedding. She attended the wedding with her husband Drew.

• The Lakme Fashion Week 2020 was held online due to the pandemic. In an interview, she shared her experience of being a part of the Digital Lakmé Fashion Week. She said,
  

  Being from Mumbai, the worst-hit city, safety was the first thing that crossed my mind. The protocol of testing us one week before isolating us in a hotel made us agree to the show. We were excited but also scared of the situation. Digital shows require patience. These shows are shot on moving cameras and there are retakes. So it is a bit more tedious than a normal show. However, it’s great watching the show and looking at the ensembles, up close and personal.”

• Candice started her own YouTube page where she shares fitness tips, skincare tips and makeup videos.

• In an interview, she talked about digital fashion shows and said,
  

  In contemporary fashion shows, models have to work fast since they showcase multiple outfits in a single show. In contrast, digital shows take more time due to re-takes to ensure the team gets the perfect shot. The camera zooms in on designs and models need patience to follow instructions to suit the camera. We do miss the audience but after having done fashion shows for so many years, it doesn’t affect us.”

• Pinto often shares cooking videos on Instagram. She keeps trying new recipes. ^[10]Candice Pinto- Instagram

• Before getting married, Pinto shared in an interview about her likes and dislikes in a man. She said,
  

  I think a man’s shoes are a reflection of his soul and can tell you everything you need to know about him, right from his personal style to his cleanliness habits. If a man knows how to respect a woman, and treat her well by doing little things like pulling the chair for her or holding open the car door, he just might impress the ramp veteran.”

• Giving advice to young models, she said in an interview,
  

  Complete your education first. Then you can go on to do whatever you’d like!”
