Dr. Sheilly Kapoor

• Gurugram

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

My name is Dr Sheilly Kapoor. I am a Dermatologist doctor by profession, practicing in Gurugram. My husband is a Cardiologist. I am the mother of two lovely boys. I love to take care of my family as much as I love my work and I try to balance between both. I like to dress up and keep myself groomed. I basically belong to Punjab and I am in deep love with Punjabi culture. Sincerity, hard work and honesty are virtues that I have inherited from my parents and I try to practice these in my daily life.

• Your Achievements that makes you feel high.

I come from a humble middle-class background. I was a bright student while in school. I studied medicine and later did my postgraduate in Dermatology. Today I am a successful leading Dermatologist. When I look back, I feel proud that I was able to achieve all that purely by virtue of hard work and persistence.

• Define the true beauty.

I feel true beauty not just lies in having beautiful physical assets but having a beautiful heart. If someone is beautiful on the outside but do not have good values in life, then such a person is not beautiful in the real sense. On the other hand, if someone is not attractive physically but has a heart of gold, he/she would be loved by everybody and is truly beautiful.

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

I feel true beauty not just lies in having beautiful physical assets but having a beautiful heart. If someone is beautiful on the outside but do not have good values in life, then such a person is not beautiful in the real sense. On the other hand, if someone is not attractive physically but has a heart of gold, he/she would be loved by everybody and is truly beautiful.

• What is your favorite Idea of Holidaying?

My favorite idea of holidaying would be at a calm and quite place in the lap of nature with my spouse by my side. A place where I can unwind myself away from mobile phones and social media. Of course, this includes good food. After a vacation, one should feel rejuvenated and go back to work with new energy and enthusiasm.

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

When I saw this advertisement on facebook, a thought flashed in my mind that after working so hard all these years in building up a busy career and looking after family responsibilities, our own self gets lost somewhere. So I saw participating in this event as a chance to do something for myself and explore this side of my personality which I thought always took the back seat in life.

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

Not only our country but the whole world went through horrific experience during Covid-19 pandemic in last 2 and a half years. Thankfully the situation has improved in last few months after vaccination. Overdependence of youth on digital media increased exponentially as a result of pandemic. I feel this is a matter of concern and ways should be devised to control this as children and youth are losing contact with reality and are more engrossed in the virtual world.

• The Quote or saying that encourages you?

Tough times never last, but tough people always do. This is the quote I always remind myself whenever life throws a challenge/ hardship towards me. It gives me strength to fight back and faith that this too shall pass and I will emerge stronger from this.

• What is true “Sportsmanship” for you?

True sportsmanship doesn’t lie only in striving to win the game but it lies in playing the game in healthy team spirit. A true sportsperson will celebrate their victory with humility and accept their defeat with grace. Also, it is important to be a good player to win but it is equally important to play as a part of team.

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

If selected as a Charity Ambassador, I would like to create awareness about the old age homes and problems faced by inhabitants there. This can be done by organizing talks and events especially targeting people with better resources and who are ready to contribute towards this cause. Also motivating and encouraging others to volunteer in fundraising activity. Being a doctor, I have a special interest in Geriatric Medicine. On personal basis, I can organize health camps looking after the health status of elderly people residing in these facilities.
