Hailing from a small town Dharan (Nepal) and now settled in Mumbai for the last 20 years, Pinky Rajgarhia completed her education from Symbiosis college (Pune).
She’s a true representation of modern Indian woman with deep rooted traditional values. In her early years, Pinky Rajgarhia worked in several job sectors such as support staff on the travel desk at IITC Pune and marketing director in Jaiambe Overseas Private Limited.
Despite miscarriage, she welcomed a beautiful baby girl. On her daughter’s 1st birthday, she was 88 kgs. The motivation to get back to shape was so intense that she worked with discipline and today proudly weighs 58 kgs.
She encourages this lifestyle to mothers and children in her daily sessions as a psychologist. She quotes, “Anything you put your mind into, you can have it in your life.” As a child psychologist she also helps the children to cope up with formative pressures at school and in social scenarios.
Her family is her backbone and it was her two lovely daughters who filled the Mrs India form. She then marched ahead with full glory and determination. In the ups and downs of her life only one thing remained constant, the support of her mother. She is blessed to have her husband motivating her.
Her journey to beauty pageants started a year back. From Mrs India to Mrs Asia finally, the corridors of Mrs Universe 2017. She wants to convey,” Beauty pageants are not just about a beautiful face or body, it’s about being a wholesome person. It’s about discovering your inner potential. It’s about standing firmly for what you believe”. Nepal runs in her blood she’s owes her success to Dharan for making her a true reflection of a mountain girl and Mumbai taught her to live her dreams by making them come true.
