TGPC: What motivated you to participate in India’s Miss TGPC?

Anija: I was motivated to participate in the India’s Miss TGPC for several compelling reasons. Firstly, IMT, being an online pageant, caters to the needs of the participants from different regions and fosters a nurturing environment where contestants are affectionately regarded as TGPC’s beti, receiving valuable guidance and support throughout and even after their journey. Participating in India’s Miss TGPC is more than just winning a title; it’s about embracing a journey of self-discovery, empowerment, and advocacy while representing the diversity and vibrancy of India. This unique blend of inclusivity, mentorship, and a platform for personal growth resonated deeply with me, compelling me to embark on this enriching journey.

TGPC: Why do you believe you are deserving of the India’s Miss TGPC title?

Anija: I believe I am deserving of India’s Miss TGPC title because of my unwavering dedication to personal growth, my commitment to advocating for causes close to my heart to foster a more inclusive world, and my ability to inspire others through my actions.

My vision extends beyond titles; it is about leaving a lasting impact by fostering empowerment, compassion, and progress.

TGPC: Growing up, what would you say was your biggest challenge?

Anija: Growing up, my biggest challenge was navigating through a constantly changing environment while compounded by my introverted nature. As a child, I was incredibly shy which made adapting to new schools and environments daunting. Moving frequently due to my father’s job meant constantly stepping out of my comfort zone and adjusting to different people and culture. However, through these experiences, I learned to embrace the change, find my voice, and gradually overcome my shyness. It was a journey of self-discovery that taught me resilience, adaptability, and the importance of pushing beyond my boundaries.
