As a momager of two rising stars, how do you juggle being a mother, a businesswoman and having a career?
DIVYAXI:
I thoroughly enjoy being their momager, mother and a business entrepreneur. But being their momager intrigues me the most, because it gives me the opportunity to shape them and mould them for the world to receive them instead of them facing the world as it comes! That makes a lot of difference in their perspective and confidence as millennials in today’s day and age! My only career I seriously ever wanted in life was to be a Mother and I was blessed two folds having two beautiful children! But I also know that many mothers dedicate all of themselves to their kids and omit their own existence! This perspective in my opinion has negative ripples in the future, so for a woman to value herself is as important as she values her family and kids. Having a serious career helps me and them to be financially independent, to be able to make choices without any pressure and also the freedom to live your life the way you dreamt it.
What are some of your favorite memories in acting and modeling?
DIVYAXI:
For AARUSH – Practicing for DORITOS commercial for an audition for acting.
Learning to walk the runway casually instead like the serious boy he used to be?
For VIHA – Learning and performing her first SLATE! It was the cutest thing!
What are your goals for Aarush and Viha when they become young adults?
DIVYAXI:
My goal for both of them is to bring out their best selves and tap into their potential to leave no stone unturned so they can be healthy, confident and responsible young adults enjoying their life to the fullest and living up to their dreams , with compassion towards the Underprivileged and love for God.
Where do you see Aarush and Viha in 10 years?
DIVYAXI:
For AARUSH – Him being a title holder has helped him boost his confidence 10X, and he’s now very comfortable expressing himself exactly the way he wants to and feels proud of his title!
In 10 years the fashion industry and maybe Hollywood seems very promising for him.
For VIHA – She is a beauty blessed with tremendous potential and brains at a very young age and I can’t wait to see how she grows both in personality and ambition in 10 years!
For both – We will still continue to be in Pageants so we keep giving and having the platform we have been working so passionately towards, our passion for community assistance in all the small and big ways we can.
