Some stories begin with privilege, others with opportunity. But for Demirra Seema, it began with humility and a job that paid just seven dollars an hour. Looking back, she calls it one of the most defining chapters of her life—a period that instilled resilience, discipline, and the courage to dream bigger than her circumstances.

Born into a family with no musical lineage, Swarn’s tryst with music began at the tender age of seven. Motivated by her parents, who recognized her potential early on, she was introduced to the rigorous yet rewarding world of classical training. Her father, despite not being from a musical background, walked hand in hand with her, ensuring she found her footing in this demanding art form.

For Pooja Agarwal, what began as a simple hobby soon blossomed into a journey of grace, recognition, and achievement. Entering the world of pageantry wasn’t a carefully planned ambition—it was something she embraced out of curiosity and passion. But little did she know that this path would lead her to become a celebrated name in the world of beauty and inspiration.

For Moulami S, the journey began long before the titles, awards, and global recognition. It began in childhood—when her parents first introduced her to the vibrant rhythms of classical and hip-hop dance. From the stage lights of school competitions to the applause of community performances, dance became her first language of self-expression. Winning awards at a young age gave her more than trophies—it gave her a purpose.

When life threw her into its darkest corners, Dr. Mahira Menghani refused to stay there.

A dentist by training, her early career was derailed by an abusive marriage and mounting financial struggles. By the age of 26, she found herself a single mother — 42 kilos overweight, drowning in debt, and stuck in a teaching job that felt more like survival than purpose. “There were days I would wake up with anxiety, wondering how I would pay my bills, raise my son, and still hold on to my dreams,” she recalls.

For some people, dreams are born out of a single spark, a moment of inspiration. For Rajnandini Pawar, the dream of stepping onto the world stage began even before she was born. When her mother was pregnant, she dreamt that her daughter would one day represent India internationally. That vision, etched in her heart, became the invisible thread guiding Rajnandini’s every step.

Growing up, Rajnandini never questioned what she wanted—her heart had always known. Pageantry was not just an ambition, but a calling. “For as long as I can remember, there has only ever been one vision in my heart, one thought in my mind, and one goal ahead of me,” she reflects. Her journey has been about turning that inner vision into action, fueled by faith, focus, and an unwavering optimism.

Since childhood, Nikita Vedak carried a dream close to her heart — to walk the ramp, pose for the lens, and shine as a model. But life had its own tests. Living with vitiligo meant she was constantly confronted with stares, whispers, and rejections. For many, her skin became the first thing they saw — and the only thing they judged.

“I was often overlooked or dismissed because of my appearance,” she shares. “The hardest part wasn’t just the rejections, but the feeling of being unseen, like I didn’t belong.”

Kajol Arora’s journey into the world of live entertainment began quietly, backstage at a fashion show. She wasn’t on the ramp; she was the voice behind it. But that very moment sparked a realization — her words carried power, rhythm, and presence. From fashion runways to corporate events, she began carving her own space, one announcement at a time.

At just 17, Saachi Tiwari carries with her a journey that many would take decades to live. Originally from Bihar, her story took a turn when, at just five months old, she moved with her mother to Mumbai—the city where dreams meet determination.

Saachi Tiwari’s Inspiring Teenage Success

Life took a new turn in 1999 when she got married and moved to Mumbai. The city didn’t win her heart immediately. “Everywhere was crowded, and I thought, ‘How am I going to survive here?’” she laughs. But the stage called her back. By 2006, she was working with Nadira Babbar’s theatre group, wearing two hats—assistant and performer. Soon after, she joined Rang Shila and worked in plays by Avneesh Mishra.

Dr. Kunjam Pooja’s  journey into the literary world began unexpectedly, while working in the nutritional department. “It started with sharing quotes on my social media,” she recalls. “Then one day, I saw an Instagram ad for Inspiring Jatin. That post changed my life.”

What began as a curiosity evolved into the fulfillment of a long-cherished dream — becoming an author. Her association with the International Council of Authors opened doors she had only imagined. Soon, she was on her way to becoming a best-selling author, an Author World Record holder, and a participant in events that connected her to like-minded achievers across the globe. One such milestone was attending the Super Human residential program at Radisson Blu, Karjat, where advanced techniques and meditations rekindled her confidence, dreams, and sense of purpose.

If you ever meet Lakshmi Venkatesh, the first thing you’ll notice is her calm presence—the kind that comes from living a life filled with highs, lows, reinventions, and quiet resilience. She carries herself not with flashiness, but with the quiet power of a woman who has walked through fire, learned its rhythm, and come out glowing.

His journey began with music. From a very young age, Mausam would sing at local functions in Bhopal. His love for music led him to Sa Re Ga Ma Pa, a moment that felt like stepping into a bigger world. “That experience gave me confidence,” he recalls. But it was after performing at an event where legends like Zeenat Aman and Jackie Shroff were present that things took a more serious turn. “They looked me in the eye and said, ‘If you really want this, you have to move to Mumbai.’ And that was it for me.”

The Untold Story of Rekha Jha

I never thought my passion would become my profession. It all began quite unexpectedly — I was asked to host a friend’s wedding. That evening, something clicked. As I held the mic and saw the crowd respond with laughter, cheers, and genuine joy, I realized this wasn’t just a one-time favor. It was a moment of clarity. If I could bring happiness to people through my words and energy, maybe this is exactly what I was meant to do.

Mic Magic and Milestones

Coming to Mumbai was never just about chasing fame—it was about finding purpose. I still remember the day I packed my bags with dreams and doubts. I wasn’t alone. My sister came with me, and if I’m being honest, she’s the reason I ever even thought of stepping into the world of acting.

The Rise of Vishal Solanki

Coming from a middle-class, orthodox business family, the idea of stepping into the entertainment industry was not just unconventional—it was unheard of. There were no spotlights in my family’s history, no red carpets, no cameras. I was overweight, painfully shy, and deeply introverted. I wasn’t the kind of person who turned heads—I was the one who avoided them. But deep inside me, there was a burning ambition that refused to die quietly.

Journey of a Future Icon

It all started with a mic, a moment, and a memory. My love for anchoring took root quietly during my school years, blooming slowly, year by year. The first time I felt its magic? I was just in the 10th grade, hosting my sister’s Sangeet. That evening was electric — the applause, the laughter, the sense of holding everyone’s attention with just my voice — it sparked something deep within me.

A Corporate Pro’s Journey Into Anchoring

Some passions don’t need a reason. You just feel it — like a pulse that keeps calling you back. That’s exactly what the stage has been for me. From my early college days, I found my soul alive whenever I stepped on stage — as a dancer, singer, actor, or anchor. I didn’t know where it would lead, but I knew one thing clearly: the stage felt like home.

The Anchor Who Built Her Own Stage

I began my career journey at just 20, with a heart full of ambition—but burdened by low self-esteem. Back then, I didn’t see myself as someone who could ever walk a ramp, mentor others, or be called a changemaker. But life has a way of unfolding in the most unexpected ways—if only you dare to take that first step.

The Woman Behind the Crown

Ashutosh's story began not in front of a camera, but with dance. After moving to Mumbai, the city of endless auditions and limitless dreams, he immersed himself in the performing arts. His big break came when he was chosen to be a part of “Nritya Shakti”, the prestigious dance troupe led by renowned choreographer Shakti Mohan. Among thousands of aspiring dancers from all over India, only 12 were selected. Ashutosh was one of them.

Ashutosh Yadav’s Rise in Indian Television

I had zero clue I’d ever become an anchor. I wasn’t the kid who dreamt of lights, cameras, and applause. I didn’t grow up practicing in front of the mirror with a hairbrush mic. Nope. It all began with a modeling show. My first one ever. The entry fee? Just 100 rupees. And me? I literally begged and bullied my family into letting me apply. “Bas ek chance de do,” I told them.

From Jagran Bhajans to Big Brands

There was a time in my life when I was literally coding dreams with one hand and cradling my child in the other. I was living two full-time roles — a software engineer by profession, a mother by heart.

Each morning began with a rush. Each night ended in guilt.

Client calls, school pickups, deadlines, dinner plans — I tried to balance both worlds with everything I had. But slowly, the weight of it all started to break me.

I made a decision that didn’t come easy — I quit my job.

A Mother’s Journey to Spotlight

Whether it was a poetry recitation, an elocution contest, or a fancy dress competition, I was that child on stage—loud, expressive, and full of heart. I owe a lot of that confidence to my mom. She always encouraged me to participate, to speak up, and to shine. I was also one of those “top scoring” students—academically sharp and eager to excel.

A Storyteller with Purpose

At first, it was curiosity. Watching my DJ friends perform and control the vibe of the crowd lit a spark inside me. I found myself thinking, “Why not give it a shot?” So, I did. I performed at a couple of small shows, and the response was more than I could have imagined. The nervous excitement turned into raw energy, and with every beat drop, I felt more confident. Something inside me said — this is it, this is what I’m meant to do.

Behind the Decks

When most teenagers are still figuring out what they want to do in life, I was already walking two very different paths that surprisingly led me to the same place—on stage, under the spotlight, doing what I love. Both emceeing and singing came to me in the same year, when I was just 18. Now, two years later, I still sometimes pause and feel an overwhelming sense of gratitude for being able to live a life that allows me to follow both my passions.

Story of a Rising Star in Events &amp; Music

I’ve always believed that the stage doesn’t ask for perfection—it asks for presence. And for me, that presence was ignited long ago in school, in a moment that still glows brightly in my heart.

As a child, I was always active—be it academics, extracurriculars, or just bringing people together with laughter and energy. One unforgettable memory is when I participated in a beauty contest called Miss Canossa. That moment, standing on stage, gave me a rush—a newfound confidence, a love for the limelight, and more importantly, the realization that I could hold space in front of a crowd.

The Voice of Celebration

It all started back in 9th grade—an age where most teens are still figuring themselves out. One regular school day, a friend handed me a pair of headphones and said, “You have to hear this.” What poured into my ears was melodic techno—a sound so powerful, so emotionally charged, that it shifted something deep inside me. It wasn’t just music. It was a revelation. That moment marked the beginning of a lifelong love story between me and the music that now defines my journey.

Journey Into the World of Melodic Techno

When I first stepped into the world of music, I never imagined I'd become a DJ. My journey began behind the keys—I was a keyboardist with a deep love for melodies but absolutely no idea about DJing. It was a good friend of mine who opened that door for me. He spoke to me about the scope and power of the DJing industry. I was curious—curious enough to let him take me to a place that would change everything for me.

The Rise of a DJ in the UAE

I come from a small town where dreams are often considered too big to chase—especially when you don’t have the money, resources, or background to back them up. But even as a little boy, I kept dreaming with my eyes wide open. I didn't know how or when, but I was sure that someday, I would shine.

Life, however, had its own plans. I lost my father early on, and that loss shook the very foundation of our family. My mother, the strongest woman I know, took it upon herself to support our education and keep our household running—sacrificing her comfort so that we could have a future. Watching her work so hard lit something in me. I couldn’t just sit and dream anymore—I had to work for those dreams.

The Rise of a Self-Made Emcee

It all started in college—with lights, beats, and my love for the stage. Performing was my oxygen—I was always on the move, leading my dance troupe through college fests, professional musicals, and every stage show I could get my hands on. For me, the stage was home. But I didn’t realize back then that the way I wanted to be on that stage would change forever.

The Story Behind Mic and Hustle

It all started with a deep love for music. Back when I was curating playlists for house parties, road trips, or laid-back evenings with friends, I didn’t know I was laying the foundation for something much bigger. What fascinated me most was the way music could shift the mood, light up a room, and connect people without saying a word.

Life Behind the Decks

In 1987, at just 20 years old, I entered a new world—not a university or an office, but a joint family of nearly 50 members. My dreams of becoming an IPS officer and my passion for sports were quietly folded away as I stepped into the traditional role of the eldest daughter-in-law. Life became a rhythm of responsibility—cooking, caregiving, and managing a household that never slept. I didn’t know then that this very life would one day shape me into a mentor, a titleholder, and the founder of a national movement for women.

The Queen Maker of Karnataka

Ever since I was a kid, music has been my heartbeat. I didn’t know what BPM meant back then, but I knew that whenever a rhythm dropped, something inside me lit up. Growing up, I was the kid who’d turn everyday moments into concerts — banging on tables, singing along to every song on the radio, always dreaming of the stage.

A Tale of Grit and Glory

I’ve always loved music—every part of it. The rhythm, the emotion, the way a good melody can make your day or save your life. But I think the moment I truly fell into rap happened in the most unexpected place: middle school band practice.

Back then, I wasn’t a frontman. I was a backup singer in a band we’d put together at school. One of the guys in the group—Josh—was the rapper. I’d watch him, lowkey mesmerized, as he pieced words together with this effortless cool. His flow was fast, confident, and clever. I remember thinking, how does he do that?

From Backstage to Spotlight

After dropping out of school, I found myself at a crossroads—with no clear path, just a strong desire to figure out what I was meant to do in life. I tried my hand at several professions, dabbling in different industries, but nothing truly clicked. Each role felt like a placeholder, not a purpose. Then, out of necessity, I took up a job in the hospitality industry as a housekeeper. It wasn’t glamorous, but it was the beginning of something extraordinary.

A Journey Through Art, Coffee &amp; Corporate Success

Ever since I can remember, I wanted to do something big—something that would leave a mark. After finishing my +2, I took the first step toward that dream and enrolled at Punjabi University to pursue a degree in TV and Film Production. But even then, I knew I didn’t want to stop at just technical skills. Each afternoon, after classes, I would attend singing lessons. I was planting the seeds of a future that combined storytelling and melody—my two biggest passions.

The Rise of a Pollywood Singer

From as early as I can remember, I was drawn to anything that allowed me to express myself—music, sports, performing arts, even academics. Creativity wasn’t just a hobby; it was my language. And somewhere between school cultural events and family gatherings, I found my first audience. What began as innocent performances soon evolved into a deeper calling: the desire to connect, engage, and leave a lasting impact.

The Emcee Behind India’s Biggest Events

It all started with rhythm. I was 12 when I got into beatboxing—just me, my breath, and a mic. No fancy gear, no mentor, no audience. Just raw sound and the feeling that, for once, I had control. Growing up between Bangalore and Goa, life was a mash-up of contrasts. Beauty and chaos. Pressure and freedom. I didn’t always know how to make sense of it all, but I knew how to feel it—and I turned that energy into sound.

A Mission to Shift the Culture

From a young age, I realized I had a gift for writing—songs, poems, raw thoughts that could transform into rhythm. It came naturally, but sounding like I do today? That took years of practice, hustle, and relentless effort. I've kept polishing, experimenting, and finding my unique space. I may not sound South Indian when I rap, but trust me—everything about me is. I’m half Tamilian, half Mallu, and fully Bangalorean. And if my music has a kink or a twist, it's because each song carries a slice of my journey.

A Journey from Streets to Studio

Magic found me when I was just eight years old — wide-eyed, curious, and utterly spellbound by the man I looked up to the most: my father. Watching him perform on stage was like witnessing pure wonder unfold before my eyes. He had this rare ability to make people laugh, gasp, and connect, all in a matter of moments. It wasn't just the tricks; it was the transformation — the way a simple gesture could light up a room. I was hooked.

A Father's Legacy and a Son’s Dream

From that day on, music became my obsession. I’d spend hours every day digging into tracks, watching DJs light up clubs and festivals. While my classmates focused on studies, I was absorbing everything I could about electronic music. Somewhere along the way, I just knew — this is what I’m going to do with my life.

No Degree, Just Decibels

It was just another random day of bunking a class with my friend. We were roaming around, trying not to get caught, when we stumbled upon a music room. Inside were our friends — Jenish and Coke — rehearsing for the annual day function. They had keyboards in front of them, playing cine songs like pros. That moment changed my life. I stood there, mesmerized, asking them endless questions: “What’s a chord? What does scale mean? How are you making those sounds from that tiny keyboard?”

Journey Into Music and Beyond

Music has always been a part of me. I grew up in a rural, middle-class household where most people followed well-defined paths—doctors, engineers, businessmen. In that world, music wasn’t seen as a real career. But as a child, I sang at school events, relishing the moments I got to be on stage. Those small performances were my first taste of something greater.

Dreaming in Raags

A few years later, everything changed. A friend introduced me to English music—Akon, Eminem, Pitbull, David Guetta—and it was like stepping into a new universe. The beats, the energy, the freedom of expression in electronic dance music…it hooked me. Then I discovered Tomorrowland and Sunburn, and I knew in that moment: This is the world I want to be a part of.

The Sound of Belief

What started as a spontaneous save turned into something much more. In just a year, I wasn’t just “the guy with the playlist” anymore. I had performed over 250 shows, built a name that began echoing through club circuits, college festivals, and brand campaigns. And none of it would’ve been possible without my mother—my loudest cheerleader, my constant support. She didn’t care if I failed or flew. She only cared that I tried. It was her who surprised me with my first DJ controller, marking the true beginning of a journey that would change my life.

The Rise of a Real Artist

It’s been eight years since I stepped into this world — the world of DJing. What began as something fun has turned into a life-defining passion. Back then, I didn’t know much. I started small, with barely anything but curiosity and love for music. But as time went on, I learned — not just how to mix and play, but how to express myself, how to stand tall with confidence, and how to find my voice in a world that doesn’t always hand you a mic.

More Than Music

The Journey of Founding Profittmax

For the past ten years, music hasn’t just been a part of my life—it has been my life. From the moment I could hold an instrument, I knew this was more than just a hobby. I was born into sound. My journey began as a toddler, tapping out rhythms on the tabla. That heartbeat of percussion was my first teacher. From there, I moved on to the trumpet, learning breath and control. And then, I found the one instrument that truly unlocked everything—my voice.

3 World Reactors

"I went with a school friend who took me to the fest," they recall. "Seeing Rohit Barker for the first time changed something in me. The way he controlled the crowd, the smiles he brought to people’s faces — I just knew, this is what I wanted to do."

The Story Behind Mix Bag Tuesdays

From the soft hums in a school corridor to the powerful chords echoing across digital platforms, my musical journey began with a dream and a voice. Music entered my life at a young age, and it quickly became more than just a passion—it became my purpose. What started as school-stage performances gradually transformed into a presence on social media, catching the attention of music lovers and professionals alike.

A Young Artist’s Vision for Music

The rhythmic pulse of Bollywood music has always had a special place in my heart. Growing up, music was a constant in my life, but it wasn’t until about four years ago that I truly discovered its transformative power—especially when heard through the lens of a live DJ set. I still remember the first time I felt that electric energy at a party—the way the music united everyone on the dance floor, how it seemed to control the room’s vibe like magic. That night, I realized something: I didn’t want to just be in the crowd. I wanted to be behind the decks.

From Bollywood Beats to Global Dreams

If you told 17-year-old me that I'd someday find purpose and peace behind a DJ console instead of a stethoscope or an engineering desk, I would’ve laughed—nervously. Because back then, I was just a kid trapped in a syllabus I never asked for, chasing a future that wasn’t mine.

From Science Labs to Soundwaves

Ever since I was a little girl growing up in Nepal, dancing has been my first love. I didn’t have access to professional training or dance classes, but that never stopped me. I was completely self-motivated—I would watch TV shows and YouTube videos and teach myself every step, every move. I still remember the first time I ever performed on stage—I was just three years old. It was a local competition in my village, and I won. That moment planted a seed in my heart that would grow stronger with every passing year.

From Nepal to Spotlight

If you’d told the 9th-grade version of me that one day I’d be playing at major clubs in Bangalore and producing hit remixes, I wouldn’t have believed you. Because back then, I didn’t even know how to play music properly, let alone produce it. All I had was curiosity, a borrowed laptop, and a fire in my heart.

When Dreams drops Beats

Five years ago, what began as a casual introduction through a mutual friend blossomed into something extraordinary — a shared dream that would take two aspiring artists from college campuses to some of the most happening venues in Bangalore. This is not just a story of beats, bass drops, and booming speakers. This is the story of two individuals who dared to dream differently — and never gave up.

Story Behind the Tracks

Music has always been a part of my life, but it was dance that led me to choose this career. The turning point came when my dance master needed money to mix two songs. At that time, I couldn't afford anything, but I was determined to find a way. That night, I sat for hours researching how to mix songs myself, and that was when I discovered Afrojack. His Ultra Music Festival 2013 set completely mesmerized me, and I became a huge fan of his style. That moment sparked my journey into music production and performing live.

The Beat of Soul

But my heart longed for something more—something bigger. That’s when I transitioned into acting, turning my leisure activities into my profession. The shift wasn’t easy, but every challenge only fueled my determination. Then, an unexpected opportunity knocked on my door—a call from Delhi for a magazine shoot. It was a turning point in my career.

The Making of a Self-Made Actor

This journey began during one of the darkest phases of my life—when I was battling depression. In search of solace, I found myself at the ISKCON temple, spending hours confiding in Radhe Krishna about my struggles. I embraced bhakti, frequently visiting Ganesh Ji’s temple, Mahadev temples, and Gau Shalas. There was something different about those places; they filled me with a sense of peace I had never experienced before.

The Making of Mr. Gujarat 2025

Growing up, music was the heartbeat of my home. My mother had a beautiful voice, my aunt and sister sang effortlessly, and melodies flowed through our house like a gentle breeze—echoing in the hallways, filling the living room, and becoming an inseparable part of daily life. It was only natural that I, too, would find solace and inspiration in music. But my true journey into the world of sound began when my parents gifted me a Windows XP PC in 2001. They hoped it would be a tool for learning, but it became my gateway to an entirely new universe.

The Soundtrack of Life

In my second year of college, fate introduced me to the art of DJing through a school junior. What started as mere curiosity soon became my passion. I still remember the electrifying moment when I performed at my college fest for the first time. The sight of 2,000 people dancing to my beats filled me with an indescribable joy. That was the moment of realization—DJing was my true calling, and I decided to pursue it as a career.

Decks, Dreams, and Determination

In 2013, during my summer break, I visited my grandmother’s place, where my cousin of the same age introduced me to something that changed my life forever. One day, while I was enjoying Bollywood music, he abruptly turned off my speakers, much to my irritation. He then asked me to follow him to his room, switched on his computer, and played the Aftermovie of the Tomorrowland Festival. Those 30 minutes were nothing short of magical. It felt like another world had opened up before me, like a door to another planet had just been unlocked. In that moment, I knew—I wanted to become a DJ.

Turning Dreams Into Music

The biggest challenge I faced wasn’t just mastering the technicalities of DJing; it was shattering the preconceived notions about female DJs. Time and again, I was met with skepticism—people assumed that because I was a woman, I wouldn’t be able to perform at par with my male counterparts. Changing that mentality became my mission. I let my music do the talking, proving that talent knows no gender. Through sheer dedication, relentless practice, and an unwavering belief in myself, I carved a space where my skills spoke louder than societal biases.

Rise of a Female DJ

One fine day, I stumbled upon a song that changed everything for me—"As Your Friend" by Afrojack. It played on a radio show hosted by DJ Ivan and Rohit Barker, and something about that track just clicked. The beats, the energy, the sheer magic of it—it was love at first sound. That moment ignited my passion for music, setting me on a journey I never imagined would become my life’s calling.

The Sound of Dreams

It all started with my deep-rooted love for music since childhood. Playing tunes and making people groove always brought me immense joy. However, as I focused on my studies and career, my passion for music gradually took a backseat.

The turning point came when I moved to Bangalore. The city's vibrant nightlife and music scene reignited my passion for DJing. I found myself drawn back to the decks, eager to learn and refine my skills. I started playing gigs, not for fame or money, but to master the art and connect with people through music.

The Sound of Success

My love for music began in school. I would persistently persuade my father to gift me a guitar, and when he finally did, it marked the beginning of my musical journey. From that moment, I immersed myself in playing the guitar and gradually developed a passion for singing. One of my biggest inspirations in this journey has been Darshan Raval.

For the past seven years, I have been on a relentless journey to make my mark in the Indian music industry. My dream is to become a well-known singer-songwriter, and every step I take is a move toward that goal.

The Making of an Independent Artist

From childhood, I was hooked on beats. Music was my escape, my passion, and my constant companion. My college days were filled with spinning tracks as a DJ, using nothing more than a pair of cassette players at college fests. But as life took over, I found myself immersed in the corporate world, organizing high-profile events at my company. Yet, every late-night shift ended with me seeking solace in music. Mixing beats in my dimly lit apartment, I felt something that the corporate world could never offer me—pure, unfiltered joy.

The Evolution of a Banker into a DJ

For nearly two decades, I have dedicated my life to the world of performance, carving a niche for myself in theatre and television. My journey began with a deep love for the stage, a passion that led me to win 39 prestigious awards—both national and international—by the age of 24. Theatre was not just a profession for me; it was my identity, and I became a well-respected and renowned figure in this realm.

The Unstoppable Journey of Urvashi Upadhyay

From that moment, I dived headfirst into the world of electronic music. I spent countless hours honing my craft, experimenting with sounds, and developing my unique style. What started as a passion soon turned into a profession, and today, whether it’s a pulsating club, an extravagant wedding, or a private event, my goal remains the same—to make people dance, connect, and create unforgettable memories.

Jia's Rise in Film, Ads, and Television

My initial steps were in films, but eventually, I transitioned into television. In 2012, I was part of "Jhilmil Sitaron Ka Aangan Hoga," followed by "Uttaran" in 2008. However, my most defining role came in 2017 with "Nimki Mukhiya," where I portrayed the character of Sweety—a role that resonated deeply with audiences and became a significant milestone in my career.

Shriya's Journey in Entertainment

It all started with a love for music. As a kid, I was obsessed with collecting cassette tapes and CDs, meticulously curating playlists for others to enjoy. By the time I was 12 or 13, people had begun to appreciate my unique sense of music. But beneath this passion, I was an extremely introverted child. I had opinions, recommendations, and a wealth of knowledge to share, yet my introversion always held me back. Music, however, became my voice—it was my bridge to the world, my way of communicating and connecting with others.

From Mixtapes to Main Stage
