The moment a child is born, the mother is also born. Priorities change along with her hormones. A woman evolves from human to superhuman. And the child becomes an endless source of energy, inspiration, dedication, positivity & FAITH!
Sharing one such mother’s story whose child ignited a new spirit to prove herself.
Aakansha is an incredibly chirpy, friendly, carefree woman. Being married off early in her twenties had a kid by mid-twenties started questioning about her future. The mother in her wants to inspire her child. Without wasting much time, she started focusing on her health. Joined a gym and took baby steps towards a healthy lifestyle. Soon after, her gym instructor casually suggested her to take part in Mrs India Worldwide pageant, knowing her short-lived modeling career before her marriage. Without much expectations, she did apply and is now one of the 80 finalists contesting for the crown!

Are you a mother? Have unfulfilled dreams?
It is never too late to kick-start your life. Take your time and follow your heart.
Re-starting a career from scratch after a long pause is intimidating. But fortunately, Akansha has a very supportive & loving partner. On the day of our shoot, Vinay played like a truly equal partner. From taking care of the 3year old to respectfully giving her space to work.
TRIVIA: This classic block printed saree is from the 85-year-old brand called the “Bombay Silk Store” run by Vinay’s family throughout generations. Located at the heart of new market, kolkata. They are manufacturers & retailer specialising in block printing. A traditional art of printing that is unfortunately, slowly fading away.
Akansha is determined to have a positive change in her life. The never-give-up spirit is going to take her a long way.

When in doubt, take a step back. Evaluate what is important and enjoy life. Don’t get worked up about things, lighten up, smile more, laugh more and don’t forget the kid in you.
Furthermore lead a healthy lifestyle, which in turn leads to a more clear and sort out mind. This also applies whether you are married or not, regardless of gender.
