Early life

Anchal was born in New Delhi, India, [1] [2] but her family moved to Miami, Florida, when she was six years old, shortly after Hurricane Andrew struck the area. [1] Her mother was a nurse. [1] Anchal was nineteen years old when she was scouted to try out for America's Next Top Model, Cycle 7; prior to ANTM she had also modelled for Zoom Magazine and French Vogue.

America's Next Top Model

Joseph was the sixth contestant (after Melrose Bickerstaff, Jaeda Young, Michelle Babin, Eugena Washington and Brooke Miller) to be selected to participate on the seventh cycle of America's Next Top Model and was told at casting by host Tyra Banks that she was one of the most physically beautiful contestants to ever participate in the competition. While she was often praised for the quality of her portfolio, her lack of self-confidence was often noted by the judging panel. Over her stay, Joseph was voted CoverGirl of the Week by the viewers twice in a row. She received one second call-out and one third call-out. After refusing to fully participate in a challenge that required her to perform a task while portraying a random emotion (dance aggressively), the judges eliminated Joseph seventh in Los Angeles during her only ever bottom two appearance which Michelle Babin had survived for the first time ever. [3] Joseph stirred some controversy when she made comments about the fact that people with lighter hair, skin or eyes were perceived as better looking in India, when asked about her blue contacts by Tyra Banks, and that she wanted to persevere through those stereotypes. [2]
