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

I am a dynamic, versatile, an ambitious professional and a doting mother with a passion to learn, grow and live life mindfully. My growth mindset makes me very tolerant and amiable which has helped me build strong relationships in my profession and personal life. I believe in the power of dreams fueled with passion to achieve them. It is never too late to set new goals. I take setbacks in life as stepping stones towards growth in life. I believe that we are the creator of our destiny through our resilience, tenacity and willingness to learn. My motto in life is to thrive, not just survive.

• Your Achievements that makes you feel high.

I am my biggest cheerleader. I feel proud of myself for choosing to become financially independent, even if it was later in life. It was not easy to get back to college in my thirties while taking care of my family with two young children, but I followed my dream with passion and now having a successful career, I continue to aspire everyone around me.

• Define the true beauty.

Beauty is more than what meets the eye. True beauty in a woman is a reflection of her soul, the caring, the kindness and compassion that she lovingly gives to her family and other around her,

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

A complete, healthy and happy family for me means having respect, compassion, understanding, tolerance and acceptance towards each other. Being there for each other in good times and bad times. Everyone is different within the family but respecting the differences and holding space for each other is so important. This allows to create safe environment filled with love and trust.

• What is your favorite Idea of Holidaying?

I love traveling and my favourite idea of holiday is a good blend of exploration, fun and relaxation. Holidays are a good time to unwind and rejuvenate. Traveling to different parts of the world, exploring the local culture, food, walking through the streets and visiting places of historic essence fascinates me. Traveling turns you speechless and then it turns you into a storyteller!

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

Participating in Mrs. India Queen of Substance pageant is more than winning the crown for me. It is about victory over my mind. The only limitations that hold us from dreaming are only in our mind. This pageant will also provide me a larger platform to spread my message about social causes which are close to my heart, such as women safety, girl child education and child abuse.

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

What happens in the world has a trickle effect on what happens in our country. Apart from the socio-economic crisis that we’re facing due to pandemic and war; rape, corruption, unemployment and women safety are the biggest challenges in our country.

• The Quote or saying that encourages you?

“This too shall pass”. This quote is so powerful! It reflects the biggest lesson of nature – impermanence. Everything changes, and nothing lasts forever. It makes me more accepting and tolerant towards others and of situations. This quote gives me hope at the time of adversity and humility in prosperity.

• What is true “Sportsmanship” for you?

Sportsmanship for me is about commitment to fair play, ethical behavior, respect, and integrity. In general goodwill towards my opponent, be it on the field, in profession or personal life. Winning and losing is part of life, we should not let that build malice, jealousy or bitterness in us.

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

Mahatma Gandhi said, be the change you want to see. I believe in leading by example, by living in integrity of my values. I want to contribute to raise the Global consciousness for spreading peace, love and compassion which are the core fundamentals for any charity work. A small change has a ripple effect to the larger cause.
