Acting has always been my passion along with dancing. I am part of a beautiful community where I also teach dancing for cultural events and like-minded girls in Melbourne. This thriving passion is one of many reasons why I wanted to participate in Miss India Australia 2023. I am honoured to represent both the beautiful countries India and Australia, where I belong. It has been an absolute dream of mine to be a part of Bollywood and I believe that being a part Miss India Australia 2023 will open many opportunities and allow to showcase my skills and talent. With this platform, I aim to inspire and encourage young women like me to follow their dreams and how they can prosper in unknown territory.

About Training with Raj Suri
I really enjoyed the training and audition process in Sydney with Raj Suri. I have gained a lot of knowledge and confidence. It was very empowering to see the support, the time and commitment he put into this. It made me strive even more for my dreams and my community. I learnt to believe in myself and follow my passions, to know that you are unique. Stand for yourself, you are the pilot of your own life. I believed in myself and that’s why I am here.
