Despite facing numerous rejections—over 45 agencies in Melbourne turned her down—she persevered and signed with a reputable agency at 19.
Alicia's relentless pursuit of her dream led her to explore various international fashion scenes, including in China and Europe. However, it was in India where she truly found her place, falling in love with the country and its vibrant fashion industry.

The show featured a flirtatious exchange between the two on the ramp, which some fans found inappropriate, leading to significant online backlash. Alicia further fueled the conversation by posting an Instagram story with the caption "#SorryKiara, #ItsOurJob," a playful reference to Sidharth’s wife, Kiara Advani. This incident highlighted Alicia's growing influence and the fine line models often walk between performance and public perception.
