• Your achievements that make you feel high?

To be able to live each day with the strength and willpower to overcome every obstacle, and to surpass my limitations is a big achievement for me. This makes me feel high.

• Define the true beauty

True beauty is the inner beauty which is reflected in one’s soul. True beauty is pure, serene, and radiant. when the mind is clear of all the negativity, it shows in the eyes and smile of that person. A person is truly beautiful when she is not aware of that beauty which makes her more grounded, confident and likeable personality. “There is nothing more beautiful than someone who goes out of their way to make life beautiful for others.”

• Why you are participating in Mrs India Queen of Substance.

Being Mrs. India Queen of Substance is an honour that I aspire to. I am participating in Mrs. India Queen of Substance as it’s not only a beauty pageant, but also an effective means to campaign for social awareness of different social issues and problems that need our attention. It is also an avenue to develop and empower women to become more aware and responsive to the problems of the society they live in. If chosen, I plan to make the most of every moment and use it for good social cause.

• If you were given the chance to live again, what would it be?

If I were given a chance to live again, I would still be ME. Everything happens in our life for very good reasons, Even though life can be hard at times, no matter who's life you have, it will have its own set of problems. I am very happy with my life despite hard times. I know that the best is ahead of me, and I would live it over again.

• The Quote or saying that encourages you?

“Follow your dreams, believe in yourself and don't give up”.

• How you will contribute towards the not so fortunate children & women of our society.

I would contribute towards the not so fortunate children and women of our society by providing EDUCATION. Education is important in helping to improve lives, break the cycle of poverty and ensure that all people, particularly women have control over their destiny. Education is one of the most critical areas of empowerment for women. Among children not attending school there are twice as many girls as boys, and among illiterate adults there are twice as many women as men. Offering girls basic education is one sure way of giving them much greater power -- of enabling them to make genuine choices over the kinds of lives they wish to lead. An educated woman has the skills, information, independence and self-confidence that she needs to be a better parent, worker and citizen. “Padhega India Tabhi toh Badhega India”
