“From a very young age, I loved talking, questioning, and debating. Whenever a controversial topic came up, I could never let it pass without discussing it thoroughly. That fire naturally drew me toward the dream of becoming a lawyer. I believed my voice could make a difference.

However, my family was against the idea, and I chose to comply because all they were concerned about was my safety ultimately. I completed a BBA degree and worked in an MNC for two years, quietly setting aside the dream I once had.

Life moved forward quickly. I got married to a wonderful, supportive partner who has stood by me through every phase.

Before marriage, I was extremely active on social media, posting reels and TikToks regularly. But soon after marriage, I conceived within a month, and my focus shifted completely. After delivery, my life revolved around my daughter. I posted occasionally but lacked consistency.

Wanting a second child deeply, especially because I grew up as a single child myself, I hoped to give my daughter the bond I always longed for. When I conceived again, I fulfilled a promise to myself by visiting a temple during my sixth month.

I shared a reel about the visit and my reason for it, and unexpectedly, it went viral. Brands reached out for collaborations, and new possibilities opened up.

Then came the hardest moment of my life. In my seventh month, I had to terminate the pregnancy due to health complications. The loss shattered me and my family. I withdrew from everything and everyone. I barely recognized myself during that time.

It was my husband who gently reminded me that I needed to return to what I loved.
I responded to the brands I had paused and started posting again, this time with commitment and purpose.

Slowly, collaborations increased, and so did my confidence!

My husband and mother became my strongest pillars, helping me shoot, edit, negotiate, and grow.

Social media is not always glamorous. Behind the screen lie competition, jealousy, and lost friendships. Not everyone celebrates your growth. But I learned to keep going anyway.

I may not be a lawyer, but I am still using my voice. And I have learned to never compromise on who I am. Showing up, despite everything, is the strongest argument you will ever make for yourself.”
