Seitu's Post

30 Year's Apart… Life truly was a different world when I first stepped into the spotlight as a contestant at Femina Miss India. Ramp walks, travelling, music videos — at that age and time, it all felt surreal and exciting. Then life happened. With all its highs and lows, I found myself raising my daughter single-handedly while slowly transitioning into becoming a stylist. After taking a sabbatical of seven years, returning to work was anything but easy. In an industry where “out of sight is out of mind” is almost a rule, I had to rebuild everything from scratch. But I kept going. After years of struggle and starting over, I worked as an official stylist for pageants, taught NIFT students, and eventually became a pageant groomer — roles that gave me a renewed sense of purpose and confidence in my journey. No regrets though. Just when things began falling into place, the pandemic hit. I had wrapped up two songs with T-Series right before lockdown, and overnight, everything changed — not just for me, but for all of us. Sitting at home, I started creating content and rebuilding myself yet again. Today, when I look back, I realize how much time has passed. My little girl isn’t so little anymore, and professionally, I still wake up every day wanting to do better than yesterday. Being a single mother without a support system has never been easy. I remember calling choreographers asking for work, reaching out to agencies for opportunities, and hearing bluntly that I was “too old” for collaborations — while the very brands they represented proudly had ambassadors who were 40+. The struggle is real. And that’s why I always say: social media only shows a fraction of someone’s life. Yes, I am a grown woman. A woman who believes in ageing like fine wine. A woman who may break down, cry, and take a moment for herself over a cup of coffee — but will always stand tall again, because giving up has never been an option. We all carry stories as women — stories of falling, trying again, surviving, striving, and becoming stronger every single day. I’m simply one of them. And through it all, I carry immense gratitude.
