1.If you could make one rule that everyone in the world had to follow, what would it be?
1. Living in America was difficult as I lived in a mainly Caucasian town. I dealt with bullying/self esteem issues because of my skin. As I grew and learned more about my beautiful heritage, that’s when I decided to look past my skin color, accepting that brown is beautiful. I have such a love for my country and culture as a young Indian-American lady!
2.If you could have any superpower, what would it be?
2. I am a dancer and I teach dance! I have been dancing for 8 years. I do Indian & American dance. I teach Bollywood dance. I love to stay fit and flexible by dancing. I was a part of the 1st Indian dance group that took part in the prestigious Macy's Day Parade I also took part in the Bollywood Oscars.I was fortunate to perform in front Heidi Klum too and major Bollywood stars.
3.When do you feel a child or teen becomes an adult?
3. I have a soft spot for animals. Being vegetarian and taking care of pets, I've grown fond over animals. I decided to become vegetarian because I love animals dearly. Certain types of meats are also hazardous towards human health. Animals have a soul. It softened my heart because animals cannot say much, they are innocent creatures who need the most love. I currently take care of a beautiful Maltese puppy named Mickey. Animals fascinate me.
4.What do you feel you have learned in life that will be the most useful?
4. I plan to become a doctor. I love learning about the human body. Biology is my strongest subject. It's amazing how the human body works. There are endless diseases/illnesses that need to be cured. I want to specifically becoming a neurologist. I currently work for and am a brand ambassador charities that work to help provide medical supplies for the less fortunate in India & America. I also volunteer at a pediatrics.
5.What do you feel is the hardest job in the world and why?
5. I love fashion & writing. I love to create and customize outfits. I am working towards writing my first book. Fashion allows me to express my artistic taste and style. I plan on becoming an author/fashion designer on the side of being a doctor. I love to dress up in saris! I aspire to design saris as the designs are so beautiful! I designed my own sari which I will wear at the pageant!
