BV: What motivated you to get into this field?
Nidhi: Well, I was always very health conscientious as Sushmita Sen was my role-model I aspired to be like her. But post-delivery I had put on a lot of weight and was unable to get rid of it. I was not trying enough, honestly. I had started taking my health for granted. But the real motivation was when I started preparing for the pageant. I really enjoyed the mind and body transformation in me. The whole journey from XL to XS was very exciting. That's why I want to give a strong message to everybody that the best investment is an investment for oneself.
BV: How did Mrs. India contest happen?
Nidhi: It was a pure coincidence. I was watching Gladrags Mrs. India one day, and wondered if I could apply. So, I searched online and got to know about Mrs. India Queen of substance. Co-incidentally the auditions were going on. I gradually cleared all the rounds and reached the finale, where I was awarded "Best Gown" title.
BV: How has the journey been so far?
Nidhi: The journey has been a roller coaster ride. It looks all glittery from outside but you have to struggle a lot to make a mark. You are torn apart between career and family especially if you have a small child. And not everybody understands this industry. I had my set of challenges, however, I am glad that I did not quit and kept my dreams alive.
Nidhi wants to make the younger generation aware of health and fitness
BV: What are your future plans?
Nidhi: I am pretty ambitious. I want to reach out to many schools, colleges, and corporates, to bring awareness about 360degrees wellness. With a rising number of lifestyle diseases and suicide cases especially among teenagers, we need to come together and build a healthier nation.
