Tell us about your background and journey.
Then after accepting myself as I am, I gained a lot of Confidence. Suddenly an idea struck me, I felt like I should spread some positive vibes to girls who have been bullied mentally, physically, and also who was Cyberbullied for their appearance?
Thus I started blogging on my already existing Instagram profile, I was posting stuff about myself, some pageant pictures modeling pics and videos as well. Then after some time, brands started reaching out to me. And I happily agreed to help them, but I always have a motto, if I don't like the product I won't advertise it to my audience.
I'm a single child, and my parents always spoiled me, but they always taught me values and morals, I have studied in Prestigious schools, then I went to a prestigious college, and now I'm pursuing a master's degree in English at university. I'm still not working properly tbh, I work as a part-time model and Now I'm trying to work my way towards my dream job.
What led you to start your page on Instagram and what is it about?
I have been bullied mercilessly in high school, I trusted some people who stabbed me in the back, they hurt me mentally and physically. The pain was so unbearable that I once tried Committing suicide. I have been bullied for my appearance, not only by my classmates but also, some teachers bullied me like I was a piece of dirt. My self-confidence was broken, Then when I entered college, people started praising me for my looks and told me that I should try modeling, I didn't actually pay a lot of attention to those words, but suddenly there was a pageant event organized by a famous brand, I won that.
That was a turning point, I never felt so beautiful, So I started modeling, after 2 years I was rocking the ramps of the biggest pageants in my state. After I won the last pageant I was absolutely ecstatic, the shy bullied girl was gone, I absolutely felt like a phoenix then.

How would you distinguish the term blogger from an influencer?
For me, blogging is completely professional but influencing people have a different meaning when you are spreading good vibes to people, helping them that is influencing.
Blogging won't make my heart sing, influencing will.

Is it financially sustainable to be an influencer today?
To be honest, only being an influencer won't help you pay your bills unless you have millions of followers and you get thousands of brand deals and sponsorships.
So we need to keep our feet on the ground, influencing isn't a piece of cake. It's like running your own business, you have to manage time, engage with your followers do frequent shoots, you have to have a good vocabulary, and you can't be mean to your audience because they are the people who give you a platform.
No job is easy I'm a model as well and people think models only need to look pretty, well that's not the case, try standing for 5-6 hours in high heels and try out the runway Choreography. So whatever the job is you have to work hard.

What is your idea of success or your mantra in life?
Making my family proud is all I want, they inspire me every day to go on, they teach me how to fight against all odds, Yes I act like a spoiled brat in front of them but they still manage to love me somehow. So bringing smiles to their faces is my mantra.
How can someone become a successful social media influencer?
I'd just tell you to live your life to the fullest, enjoy doing what you want to do, but it won't happen overnight, you will have to work hard for it.
And the most important thing, keep your loved ones close to you, Yes sometimes they act weird but they will never give up on you, that's what I have learned.

Which is your favorite book and why?
I am a book worm, I love every kinda book. I'm a student of English Honours and I would literally dive into books whenever I want. So naming a particular favorite book is very hard for me. But I can absolutely name my favorite movie, its called "Tangled".
