What is your favorite pastime or hobby?
I love exploring new places. Cooking and trying different cuisines, listening to Bollywood music, watching Bollywood movies, and dancing to Bollywood songs.
Who has influenced you most in your life?
My loving, caring, supportive husband Jay is the greatest influence in my pastime and interests. We share a deep love for nature and enjoy traveling together to serene, scenic destinations. One of our dreams is to explore the entire world side by side, discovering its beauty in one place at a time.
When and where are you happiest in your life?
After fifteen long years, the day finally came when my sister, I can still remember the moment I saw them at the airport. We had spoken countless times over video calls, but nothing compared to the warmth of their hugs, the sound of their laughter echoing in my home. Those days were pure magic. We cooked together, shared stories late into the night, and laughed until our cheeks hurt. My two nieces brought a special kind of joy—tiny bundles of energy who filled every corner of the house with giggles and curiosity. We explored new places, tried new foods, and created memories that will stay with me forever. It wasn’t about grand plans or perfect pictures; it was about being together, after so many years apart. That visit reminded me of what truly matters—family, love, and the simple moments that become unforgettable treasures.
What has been your greatest achievement outside of work?
One of my greatest achievements has been moving to the United States as a first-generation immigrant. It was a life-changing step that shaped my journey. But above all, I take the most pride in raising my son, Shaurya. Watching him grow each day into a kind, caring, responsible citizen of this country fills me with immense joy and gratitude
What are words you live by?
Each day, I commit to giving my best through hard work, honesty, and compassion. Grounded in the values my parents instilled in me, I believe that consistent effort and integrity pave the way for meaningful success. I trust that with dedication and faith, the right results will come at the right time.
