1. What inspired you to become a Fit India Ambassador, and how do you promote fitness among others?
Despite having no interest in sports during school and college, after having my second child, I began a fitness journey, gradually increasing distance and becoming an ambassador for over 500 runs across India, as well as being an influencer and face of various events, leading to becoming an ambassador for Fit India.
2. What motivated you to participate in pageants, and how do you think they have impacted your life?
I thought that I couldn't pursue modelling after marriage. I regained confidence through fitness and participated in a Nilgiris Event in Tamil Nadu, where I became the first runner-up, leading to a successful modelling and pageant journey with offers pouring in.
3. What was your preparation for the Mrs. Worldwide pageant, and how did you feel when you won the title?
I participated in the Mrs. India Contest in Jaipur and was thrilled to win. The judges selected me to represent India internationally in Singapore, which was a big responsibility. I started my preparations and, due to the pandemic, had one and a half years to train, attend online sessions, and learn from the experiences of past contestants. Through my preparation, I learned that success in pageantry involves more than just physical appearance and confidence. I also needed to focus on my social media presence, motivating others, connecting with people, activities, and talent. As a dancer, I learned classical dance and focused on Kathak to perform my best on an international platform. I was crowned Mrs. Worldwide Special Queen Ambassador and won the sub-title of Mrs. Glory Beauty.
