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

Aged 36, hailing from city of dreams Mumbai. God fearing & true believer of Christ. Born a Catholic & married to a Hindu for over 10 years. I try and give my best in everything I do. A caring daughter, loving wife & an affectionate mother. My priority in life is my family. They give me strength and are my weakness. I strongly stand for the truth & believe that only hard work with dedication can reap you benefits. Organised in my daily life & punctual. I believe that to climb the ladder of success, it’s essential to give importance to time.

• Your Achievements that makes you feel high.

I have been married for over 10 years now & have 2 beautiful kids from my marriage, a 7 years old son and 5 years old daughter. My Husband is working & living overseas for past 4 years. I live with my differently-abled in laws, who are deaf and mute. Though a great challenge, I take utmost care of my kids & in-laws even in absence of my husband. I feel it’s an achievement for me and I take immense pride in being able to manage it.

• Define the true beauty.

I truly believe beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder. Every soul is beautiful in its own way. You just need a beautiful heart to see it. According to me Beauty is far beyond skin colour, height, weight or any such physical attributes. For me beauty means a heart which cares & loves other human regardless of caste or creed.

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

Complete: Understanding each other’s nature, behaviour & respecting the differences makes a family complete.

Healthy: Having dinner together, transparent communication at all times, respect each other & above all giving every individual space they deserve leads to a healthy family

Happy: Togetherness and strong bond between each family member leads to a happy family. Being there for each other through thick & thin is true definition of a happy family.

• What is your favorite Idea of Holidaying?

I love travelling & exploring Mother Nature. I am a travel person & my favourite holiday idea would be with my Husband on a hilltop surrounded by snow. I am yet to explore Kashmir & I wish to go there soon with my family.

I believe good food, good music & beautiful capture of memories for lifetime make a holiday complete. I just don’t live for the sake of it. I believe each day gives us a chance to create a beautiful memory for tomorrow & we should make the most of it.

• Why you are participating in Mrs. India Earth ?

A lot of people keep telling me that I have that spark in me & I am model material. It took me some time to realise that yes, I have that caliber. The main reason that motivates me to participate in Mrs India Earth is to prove to the world that life, dreams & aspirations of a woman doesn’t end once she is married or when she becomes a mother. Her life is not restricted to only do household chores. Each woman is multi-talented & she can reach any height if given support & motivation. And for me, my husband has stood as my pillar of strength throughout my journey.

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

Child abuse is one thing that really hurts me deeply. Even after decades of independence, our country is still facing this issue. I wish I could do my bit to save the little ones from this. I wish to be a part of the child help team & contribute in the best possible way to our society.

• The Quote or saying that encourages you?

 “There is no tomorrow. Live your Life TODAY”

Don’t postpone your goals, motto or ambitions for tomorrow. Live your life as if there is no tomorrow, is what I truly believe & follow completely. Though I plan things for future, I never postpone my happiness. I live in the moment & that’s the key to my happiness.

• What is true “Sportsmanship” for you?

I believe in healthy competition. True & fair chance should be given to each one. It doesn’t matter whether one wins or loses but the game has to be played in a positive and true sportsmanship spirit.

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

I want to help orphans in every possible way. They are humans too & deserve love & respect like each one of us. Awareness programs like tree plantation drive, awareness of doing away with plastic to save our mother nature are few others which I would like to contribute to make this world a better place to live.
