Strengths: My strengths lie in effective communication, compassion and sincerity. I believe in being straightforward and honest in all situations, valuing truthfulness as the foundation of meaningful relationships and interactions.

These qualities help me connect with others on a deeper level and guide my decisions with integrity.

Weakness: I recognize that I can be emotional at times, which can influence my reactions. I sometimes struggle with maintaining a routine. Additionally, I can be moody and defensive, especially when I feel challenged or misunderstood. While these are areas, I work on improving; I acknowledge them as part of my personal evolution.

Likes: I have a deep appreciation for connecting with people, savouring good food and enjoying movies. I’m drawn to the beauty of man-made luxuries and creative art forms—whether it’s music, dance, exploring narratives etc. I also value my “me time”, which gives me the chance to recharge and reflect.

Dislikes: I strongly dislike hypocrisy, nagging, back-biting, foul language and any form of disrespect.

Tell us about your family:
We are a close-knit family of four: my husband, our daughter, my mother and myself. My husband works in IT resourcing services, where he brings his skills and dedication to building effective teams and supporting businesses in their growth. Our 11-year-old daughter is a curious and hardworking student, always eager to learn and explore new interests. My mother is the heart of our family—her love, wisdom, and constant support have been a foundation for all of us, especially for me. Together, we share a bond that is rooted in love, support and shared values, each of us contributing to make our family strong and connected.

Quotes that keep you going, motivate you:
• What’s meant to happen, will happen.
• Life is all about choices you make.
• Don’t cry that it’s over – Be happy that it happened.
• This too shall pass.

Achievements/ Anything you are proud of yourself?
More than feeling pride, I am deeply grateful to the Almighty for allowing me to be a source of support and care for those around me. I strive to be a dedicated daughter to my parents, an understanding partner to my husband, a reliable friend, a committed employee and above all, a kind-hearted person. I consider myself blessed to approach my responsibilities with sincere intention and integrity.

Before my marriage, I used my income to purchase a home for my parents, ensuring they could enjoy a comfortable retirement without financial concerns. I have also taken on various responsibilities to allow my husband the freedom to focus fully on his career, supporting his ongoing success. Choosing to adopt a child rather than having one biologically has been one of the most fulfilling decisions of my life.

During the lockdown, I welcomed a cousin into my home and continue to support another young cousin through a kidney transplant.

I don’t view these actions as personal achievements or sources of pride; instead, I see them as opportunities I’ve been given to serve as a vessel of care, compassion and support. For that, I am profoundly grateful.

What is Women Empowerment according to you?
To me, women’s empowerment means being treated as an equal, acknowledged with dignity and respected simply as a human being. It is the freedom to walk and speak without fear and the opportunity to lead a life without regrets.

Message for the society:
Every child deserves a loving home and family. Children are the foundation of society and a strong base today leads to a brighter, more progressive tomorrow. Providing a child with a safe environment, access to education, the right guidance and above all, a loving home lays the path for a better future and a kinder world.
From my own experience, I wholeheartedly encourage every couple or individual, especially those who long to be parents, to consider adoption. Love is boundless and selfless, a gift from God meant to be shared abundantly. By opening our hearts and homes, we can create the family every child deserves.

How will you give back to society after becoming a Queen?
I take each day as it comes, without a rigid agenda. To me, being a “Queen” is not limited to a single event or evening. It is an honor that carries responsibility and offers a platform to connect with millions. I’m deeply grateful for this extraordinary opportunity, and I hope to use it to advocate for child adoption and to serve as an active spokesperson for causes close to my heart.

Why have you participated in Mrs India International Queen?
I have participated in Mrs India International Queen to bring to life a dream that had long been quietly cherished. Stepping into this journey would allow me to stand among a diverse group of extraordinary women, each an achiever in her own right, each with her unique story of resilience and strength. It would be an experience of personal pride, one that would always remind me of my own worth and potential. Most importantly, this journey will empower me to set a meaningful example for my daughter, showing her that dreams are worth pursuing at every stage of life.
