• How you describe your own Personality and Persona.

Persona refers to an outer self. My persona is that of a strong, determined and dynamic person who is full of energy and compassion. Whereas Personality is something which reflect the inner self of an individual. I would describe my personality as I am a confident and focused person with positive and a high self-belief coupled with emotional component which helps me in taking decisions and actions on a healthier note.

• Your achievements that make you feel high.

I believe achievement is a feeling of satisfaction which one gets when faced with achallenging situation. When I see myself from childhood till date, I have always tried doing things which initially appeared difficult to me but it was the willingness that made me won e.g. best dramatist, best rangoli-maker, best organizer for corporate & management cultural fest, Ms. Fresher during engineering and Ms. Bride during MBA.

• Define the true beauty.

True Beauty is a sum of our thoughts, values, beliefs which we hold towards people, life and society at large. Although it’s not that easy but not so difficult that one can’t attain! All humans have a heart and mind, all they require is to revisit their inner self and cleanse their thoughts which have been polished out with our societal thoughts. True beauty calls for goodness and a sensible mind to offer & do something good.

• Do you consider yourself to be a giver or taker?

I consider myself as both giver & taker! Reason being one can’t give without having something. To give requires you to receive something of value. Being an active learner I always look up to people from different field in a way which gives me knowledge and a new set of thoughts which help me every now and then to think how creatively I can give back what I learnt.

• What is your favourite Idea of Holidaying?

My favourite idea of holidaying is to spent a leisure time with my loved ones in a place which is close to nature and taking away our adulthood and making a fun/crazy day by bringing a child within us such as: playing in groups, splashing water near a river side, running or climbing up a mountain etc.

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

It’s my dream to make my country proud and contribute to our nation with best of my knowledge, skills and inner traits of kindness, love, responsibility and care. And I believe that this platform is just a stepping stone and by participating I would get an opportunity to increase my visibility around my goals.

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

If I will get a chance to live again then I want to live the same life because I feel glad and I am thankful to Him for the things I have got in my life. However, few things which I couldn’t take up in past for any reason now is the time to create those opportunities and complete my desires as nothing is impossible as long as you have zeal/passion to achieve it!

• The quote or saying that encourages you .

“Each morning we are born again. What we do today is what matters most”-Buddha. I am highly inspired by this quote as it teaches us to focus only at present because that is in our direct control and it is up to us to decide how we wish to make most out of the day which is going to be a foundation for tomorrow.

• Many teenagers and youngsters are bullied worldwide for having .

One should never underestimate oneself! These are physical attributes and are god-gifted. And what matters in the end is who we are & what we contribute to life as a person. One should focus on realizing his/her strength and leverage it rather than feeling low for weaknesses.

• If you were selected as a Charity Ambassador what Value addition would you like to do for our Society and how? Why do you think giving back to society is important?

If selected as a charity ambassador, I would facilitate the process of upbringing underprivileged sections of society through a collaboration with NGOs/Government aided skill based programs, expanding the reach for employability by partnering with corporates, marketing/showcasing talent through various initiatives. 2. Our society is sum of people who directly/indirectly impacts our life. It’s just not one’s family but all people/social elements around us who have taught us and nurtured during our development. And it’s now our responsibility to give it back to society in various ways as per our will, capability and interest.
