1. What kind of BARBIE do you think you’d 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. What’s the weirdest item you keep by your bed?
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. What cartoon character do you relate to the most and why?
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. Would you time travel to the past or future?
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. How would your parents describe your personality?
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!
