Failing the civil services exams shattered my confidence.
Whenever I shared an interesting fashion story with my husband, Karl, he'd say, "You should tell this to everyone!" I never took it seriously, doubting myself. I was camera-shy and clueless about photography and editing.
But the people around me believed in me more than I did myself. And one day, when Karl posted a picture of my outfit, a comment resonated with me, and I decided to give it a shot.
With fear and self-doubt, I started messing around with social media.
I made my first trip to Kutch, with my brother, Gaurav lending a hand with filming. We explored villages, captured moments, and created my very first vlog. I made the second one about silk sarees in Benaras. Karl helped whenever I stumbled with editing. To my surprise, both videos went viral. I persisted, and last year, completed a fashion course at NIFT Mumbai.
I'm still camera shy, continuously working on my skills. But I'm happier than ever. I'm telling the stories I want to tell, and as I'm writing this, my heart is bursting with gratitude cause I've built an amazing community of over a hundred thousand people who enjoy hearing my stories. Can you believe it?
So, to all those amazing people who stood by my side and cheered me on, I owe you everything. Together, we have created something beautiful, and I can't wait to see what lies ahead on this incredible journey.
