Career


While she was in college, she participated in the inter-college fashion show and won the best model title in it. During an interview, while talking about it, she said,


Then it happened. Perhaps it was her height that made her seniors select her as the show-stopper for an inter-collegiate fashion show that they organised at the college. She was adjudged the ‘best model. There was no special prize or gift voucher but I felt exhilarated.”


Later, her mother saw an advertisement for Grihalakshmi magazine’s Face of Kerala contest and asked her to participate in the contest. She participated in the contest but could not make it to the final line-up. During an interview, while talking about the pageant, she said,


I enrolled for this competition and took part in the auditions but did not make it to the final line-up. This contest made me realise how ungroomed I was. When every other girl carried a make-up kit, all I had was an eye-liner. I did not even know how to give a good ‘introduction’. I wanted to improve and prove a point to myself.”


She then participated in Miss Malabar pageant and was declared the first runner-up in the contest. In 2018, she participated in the Lulu beauty fest and again stood first runner-up.

In the same year, she got a job as an IT Engineer at Infosys, Trivandrum, Kerala. While she was working at Infosys, she participated in the Miss Kerala contest in 2019 and won the contest. During an interview, she shared how tough it was for her to win the Miss Kerala contest in 2019. She said,


I had just joined Infosys when I applied for the Miss Kerala pageant so it was difficult to juggle it all as I had to apply for leave at each stage of the competition. I hadn’t revealed to my team that I was participating for the pageant as I didn’t know how far I would head into the competition. The auditions were tough but I wanted to participate and win the title this time. The drive to win is what kept me going.”

    I am the only girl who is yet to get married in our family and girls younger than me have become mothers. It is as though marriage and bringing up kids are the only purposeful things in life. I am against this mindset and wonder why none of them have raised their voice against it.
