What’s your secret mantra?
There’s nothing called a ‘Secret Mantra’. You just need to have faith in yourself and keep working hard. I believe the day you start feeling that you have achieved success, is the day you stop evolving and learning. I am of the firm belief that if one is talented then nothing could stop them from achieving their dreams and establishing a name in the industry. If we talk about becoming a successful social media influencer, then you need to keep updated with the ongoing trends and learn the art of producing content that generates an instant connection with the audience.
Tell us about your journey from a mom to an influencer?
Well, I have never planned to become an influencer and was happy with my role as a loving and caring mother. Becoming an influencer is something that happened accidentally. Just like other people, I used to enjoy surfing social media and used to simply post pictures of my son with thought-provoking captions and motivating content to bring a smile to people’s faces and by the grace of the almighty, people started loving it. This was what gave me the confidence to go out and be an influencer and motivate people to bring out the best in themselves, to be cheerful in both good and bad times.
How tough is the job of an influencer?
Just like the role of a mom, the job of an influencer is never an easy task. Being a social media influencer you need to keep updated with the ongoing trends and learn the art of interacting with people to make them feel connected with you. There is constant pressure on you to keep producing content that sends out the right message to the people, that inspires and motivates people. Also, there are a lot of influencers on social media, so to stand out from the crowd, you always need to create unique and insightful content.
“I want to reach as many people and touch as many lives as I can. We learn so much from life, it is only natural that we pass on our learnings to the community. Social media has been a great medium for me to do this.”

What’s the one quote that you believe in and that inspires you to bring out the best in you?
The quote that overwhelms me and inspires me to do better is ‘Being a mother is learning about strengths you didn’t know you had’. I, from the depth of my heart, believe in this quote and it is because of this that I have been successful in making a career for myself alongside playing my role as a mother. It is because of my belief, hard work, and skills that I had the opportunity to collaborate with many big brands like FirstCry, Dyson, Dabur, Hamleys, Ferrero Rocher, and Nickelodeon which makes my journey exciting and motivating.
