How do you personally view mental health in daily life?
It’s all about small, mindful practices — exercise, gratitude, appreciating little moments, and slowing down. Being present while eating, spending quality time with family, and taking time to unwind is so important. In today’s fast-paced world, it’s easy to burn out if you don’t balance hustle with holistic care. For long-term wellness, mental well-being is crucial. I do a lot of yoga and enjoy slow mornings. I like taking time to relax, eat meals with family, read, listen to music, and just enjoy simple routines.
How’s 2026 shaping up?
Lovely! I’m keeping things slow and intentional this year — focusing on what aligns with my goals and where I put my energy. I want to maintain intentionality rather than just hustling. We’re expanding Mudita with programmes for children and rural communities, and offering subsidised counselling. I’m also continuing my interior design firm and ArtConnect, which curates cultural initiatives. It’s about learning and expanding knowledge in these areas.
Coming from two prominent families — the Bajajs and the Daggubatis — how do you balance these worlds?
Both families are incredibly grounded. Despite appearances, everyone is kind, live-and-let-live, and encouraging of who you truly are. For me, Rana’s parents are as close as my own, and it’s all about reciprocation.
How do you approach fashion & lifestyle?
I don’t follow trends. I wear what feels comfortable and reflects my personality. It depends on my mood or vibe for the day — whether I want to feel cute, sharp, or casual — but I keep it simple and go with the flow.
What’s one thing you’ve learned from your partner Rana?
His work ethic paired with humility is inspiring. He’s respectful, non-judgmental, and stays grounded no matter his success. You just get up and do your work without worrying about others’ lives, that’s a valuable lesson.
