My journey has taken me through many different paths — from teaching tuitions and running a handloom business to working as a fashion designer, which I continue to do today.

But when I met Cherag Sir, something truly clicked. I realised that this was what I had wanted to do for a long time. I wanted to empower women to feel confident in themselves and in their appearance through makeup, self-grooming and personal development.

That thought inspired me to take this franchise and start my own academy in Dadar — a place where every girl and woman can reach out, learn new skills, earn independently and live with confidence.

This is my journey of starting the academy. It is just the beginning.
