I’m just like you—a simple girl who dared to dream big. From a young age, I was labeled as weak, skinny, and typical due to my shy and unassuming nature. But I always knew I was destined for something greater.

Life threw its challenges my way, and the journey of my pregnancy, while happily married, pushed me to the brink of despair. I wore a smile on the outside, but inside, I was broken. It was during these trying times that I realized my strength lay in accepting and conquering every challenge life presented.

Becoming a mother brought a newfound sense of gratitude and compassion into my life, making me stronger than ever. When my children were just 2 and 4 years old, I decided it was time to spread my wings and reconnect with the world I had withdrawn from. I took a bold step and applied for the Mrs. India pageant, despite having zero experience, no background, and facing countless obstacles.

My only companions on this journey were confidence and an unwavering spirit. Two months of rigorous training transformed me mentally, physically, and emotionally. From sneakers to 6-inch heels, from pizza to quinoa, from loose pants to tight skirts, and balancing mommy duties with ramp walk practices—I underwent a profound transformation.
