I dress how I feel,rooted in tradition, curious in spirit. Style isn’t what I wear, it’s how I walk into every room.
What makes your style stand out?
My style stands out because it celebrates tradition in a world that often forgets it. I wear my culture proudly,even in places where western fashion dominates. Whether in a sari or a fusion outfit, I focus on carrying confidence and grace wherever I go. To me, true style isn’t about following trends; it’s about staying authentic and elegant while embracing who you are.
What’s your dream fashion moment?
My dream fashion moment would be to stand on a global stage where I can inspire people to embrace their cultural roots with pride. I want to show that tradition and modernity can coexist beautifully,that wearing your heritage is a statement of strength, not limitation. If my style could make someone feel proud of where they come from, that would be my ultimate achievement.
What would you do with $20,000?
First, I’d give a portion to my parents—they’ve sacrificed so much to help me study and build my future abroad. Second, I’d donate to the ISKCON temple, a place that selflessly feeds and shelters those in need but often struggles for funds. Lastly, I’d support an NGO helping homeless individuals battling mental health and addiction. Everyone deserves a second chance, and I’d love to be part of giving them that hope.
