• A Brief about yourself and how you describe your own Personality and Persona.

Conscientious, Compassionate, Extraversion, a freelance content writer, a nutritionist and graphic designer by degree, mother of 5 years old daughter, a fitness freak and an avid animal lover is what I am identified as. I belong to the city of NAWABS and KEBABS, Lucknow. But, currently located in Jodhpur (Temporarily). Music, travelling and animal care is my passion. Patriotism runs in my blood as I am a daughter of retd. Army personnel and a wife of serving Air force officer. So, I almost compare myself not less than a gypsy who keeps shifting to new abode after every two to three years for the living and for the nation. This proves that I have witnessed almost all the states of our India and “BELIEVE ME IT IS INCREDIBLE”. “BINDAAS” is the word that is totally meant for me. "I am a person who values other people's contributions and qualities.

• Your Achievements that make you feel high.

Achievement is something, which gives you a feel of proud and it is not restricted to education and position. And I proudly say that giving birth and raising my girl till 5 years is the biggest achievement of my life so far. The kind of physical traumas that a women undergoes during her pregnancy and delivery and coming out of it carrying another life along is just commendable for me. This achievement is inbuilt in every woman.

• Define the true beauty.

There was the time when beauty lied under the checklist of having curvy but thin body, sparkling smile, flawless skin, average tall and so on. Being millennial women I truly believe that beauty is more about your strength, confidence, dignity, intelligence and character. Gone are the days when beauty was just about having a man drool on you.

• What makes a complete, healthy and happy family for you?

Family is where you feel secure under the shelter and presence of each other. Expressing affection, warmth and encouragement are the key ingredients of happy and healthy family life. Encouraging positive behavior, being honest with each other, working together to solve the problems and conflicts, staying in contact with each other, laugh and eat together is some of the suggested role that a family needs to play to sustain in a happy and healthy family life.

• What is your favourite Idea of Holidaying?

My idea of perfect holidaying is yet to accomplish. I want to roam around the world with my besties wearing best of our wardrobe where there are no precincts and no responsibilities. It should be “JUST US THREE”.

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

Out of all the organizers of Mrs India, “MIQS” is the only organization who works for the betterment of society. I have always been inclined towards playing a major role for the ameliorations of the world. This platform will not only help me in achieving the crowning positing but will also give me a stepping stone progressing towards the upgradation of society and civilization.

• What bothers you most about what is happening in the country today?

There are two things that bothers me a lot. Firstly, the situation of women in our society and secondly, the condition of stray animals. I feel really bad for the Indian women who are always worried and fighting for their safety, equality and recognization. The situation of rural areas is even worst. The government is taking actions what so ever is possible but the change seems stagnant since decades. The biggest enemy of Indian women is the mindset of our society. Once it gets changed the path for us will be as easier as for men. Apart from this, stray animals are ill treated by most of us which is equally disturbing. These poor creatures have an equal right to live a good life as we do. We need to work together to make their life less miserable. We cannot blame government for everything. We should also step out of our comfort zone and do our part.

• The Quote or saying that encourages you?

“Women are like angels, if someone cut our wings, we simply continue to fly on a broomstick”. See, how flexible we are. 

• What is true “Sportsmanship” for you?

Winning or losing are the end results of the game. Sometimes the competition can be heated, intense and personal. Learning the lesson out of it and accepting it positively is the true sign of sportsmanship.

• If you were selected as a Charity Ambassador what Value addition would you like to make for our Society and how?

Being a charity ambassador of such an esteemed organization holds a great responsibility which needs to be carried with utmost care and sensibility. Standing for causes like women empowerment, animal care, clean environment, child abuse, love and care for disabled will be my utmost priority. Getting a platform like this will certainly bring a change in my life and through me others will also be benefitted.
