• Define the true beauty.

According to me, true beauty is the inner shine — the kindness, positivity, and love that radiates from within and lights up your face. It’s the kind of glow that uplifts others and makes them feel better and happier in your presence.

• What is your favourite Idea of Holidaying?

I’m totally a beach kind of person, so my favorite idea of holidaying is being barefoot on soft sand, sipping a cool coconut, and watching the waves crash while the sun sets in slow motion. Whether it’s lounging with a book or dancing around a beach bonfire with lots of yummy food, that’s my kind of perfect getaway.

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

Well, for starters — I already do catwalks at home while carrying groceries and my kids, so I thought to make this catwalk official! ? But honestly, I’m here to prove that beauty isn’t just about the perfect hair or pout — it’s about grace under pressure, confidence in chaos, and smiling even when your heels are secretly killing you. This platform gives me the voice to inspire others.

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

The thing that bothers me the most in recent years is the rising number of orphanages and old-age homes. It’s heartbreaking to see the very pillars of love — children and the elderly — being left behind in a world that’s racing forward. We don’t need smarter cities, we need kinder hearts.

• The Quote or saying that encourages you?

Walt Disney once said, ‘Do whatever you do, but do it well.’ So whether you’re building castles or just surviving — do it like it’s your masterpiece! Be the star of your own life. Don’t let anyone dim your shine.

• What is true “Sportsmanship” for you?

True sportsmanship, to me, means much more than just playing fair. It’s about showing respect for everyone involved — teammates, opponents, officials, and the game itself. It means giving your best no matter what, winning with humility, and losing with grace.

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

If I were selected as a charity ambassador, my focus would be on bridging the emotional and generational gap between orphanages and old age homes. I would initiate intergenerational programs like storytelling, cultural activities, and skill- sharing sessions. I would also work on improving living conditions, education for orphans, and healthcare for the elderly — ensuring dignity, joy, and purpose for all.
