00:00So, I am Salona Pati, I am by profession a civil engineer, currently the reigning queen
00:11for Marvelous Mrs. India, the winner.
00:19So this came on my way and it was by our first Marvelous, our first Mrs. India World by Dr.
00:29That itself was a big thing for me and I had a one-on-one session with her and which helped
00:35me think I can do this and so I went ahead and started my journey.
00:44So, I am myself a fitness freak but I think starting this journey with Marvelous Mrs.
00:49India, there have been a lot of mentor sessions with amazing mentors all over the world and
00:54we had one-on-one sessions with all of them for over a month and that grooming session
01:00was not just for external factors, you know, not just about makeup or anything but also
01:05how to increase your confidence, how to have a stage presence with nutrition and everything.
01:11So, I think, yeah, it was hard work for me especially because I am situated in United
01:16States and there is a day-night difference there but I was able to manage both because
01:21if you want to achieve something in life, you have to give time for it.
01:24So, I was able to give full time for it and achieve it.
01:32Yes, my mother actually wanted me to.
01:35Since my childhood, I have gotten several offers for several series and Netflix and
01:41all that but since I am a civil engineer, I wanted to finish my masters and complete
01:45all that.
01:47Not only my mother and father but my father-in-law, mother-in-law, my husband, my brother, sister,
01:52I think everybody was behind it and they supported me for it from day one.
01:56As soon as I told them I got selected and they were like, just go for it.
01:59So, yeah, there was 100% support from them.
