Snighda Sharma, a 20-year-old mechanical engineering student with a deep-rooted passion for representing Indian women in engineering, stands out not only for her academic dedication but also for her journey in the world of modeling. Growing up in a disciplined military family, with her father as a dedicated officer and her mother as a talented dentist with an enthusiasm for psychology and writing, Snighda’s life has been shaped by a unique blend of resilience, creativity, and critical thinking. Her younger brother, a passionate basketball player, adds a layer of motivation to her life, inspiring her to pursue her own goals with equal dedication.
The past six months have been particularly challenging for Snighda and her family. As she navigated these experiences, she found herself confronting issues that impacted her mental health. Through introspection, she identified areas for personal growth, gaining strength and clarity along the way. Supported by her parents and friends, Snighda has begun to rebuild her path toward self-discovery and resilience.
In the midst of these trials, Snighda has found moments of recognition that serve as a testament to her perseverance. She earned the title of City Winner at FSIA Jaipur and was named Miss Photogenic at an autumn pageant hosted by the RSI Army Officers Club. Despite the encouragement of these accolades, her journey hasn’t been without setbacks. Casting opportunities in modeling have eluded her, with unexplained rejections becoming a frequent hurdle. Yet Snighda’s determination remains unshaken, as she uses each challenge as fuel to continue her pursuit.
While modeling holds a special place in her heart, Snighda is now focused on her academic aspirations. She dreams of breaking barriers in the mechanical engineering field, particularly in the automotive industry, to showcase the capabilities of Indian women. Armed with discipline, empathy, and unwavering resolve, Snighda Sharma is paving the way for herself and other women who dare to dream beyond conventional boundaries.
