  1. Swati, congratulations on your remarkable journey! Can you tell us what inspired you to participate in the Mrs. Lucknow 2021 and Mrs. Uttar Pradesh 2021 pageants after 25 years of marriage?


First of all thank you very much. Even before marriage, I wanted to do something different whenever I got a chance in life. At that time, the financial condition of the parents was not good and the times were also different. Just let the fire of doing something burn in my mind. Then when I got a chance, I did not even care about age and after 25 years of marriage, when the children also grew up, I thought of doing something for myself.


2.                Winning these titles is a significant achievement. How has this experience changed your perspective on life and your role in society?

Work done with positive thinking always gives positive results. I also did not think that the society would respect me so much. I didn't tell anyone when I participated in this beauty present. There was a fear as to how the society would take this. But when I won two titles, I got so much respect that I had never imagined. This positive attitude of the society increased my confidence more than before. He received congratulations from the city, country and law, and got a lot of fame from newspapers and press conferences.


3.                You mentioned that you started writing after becoming a Crown Winner. What motivated you to delve into writing inspirational articles, Hindi poems, and blogs?

Sometimes I used to write earlier but used to hesitate and did not even tell anyone. After winning the crown, my friend Rupal Arora said that I get inspiration from you, and write some small inspirational articles, I wrote them and my sons also liked them very much. Then I started writing for women. This is a way to convey your message to others.


4. Your belief in helping people and animals is commendable. Could you share some of the initiatives or causes you are passionate about in this regard?

 I will say the same about this issue whenever I come to know about it. Someone needs me, I want to help. I have been donating blood continuously since 2014, sometimes I even donate blood thrice a year. As needed. Paying for the education of one to two children in a year, providing injections to children suffering from cancer. I do it whenever I can.

I keep doing this all the time, treating animals in need and feeding them.


5.                Your goal of raising a generation where girls can assist and grow for the betterment of society is inspiring. Can you elaborate on how you're working toward this vision?

  When you won the crown after 25 years of marriage, you became an example for many women who think of fulfilling their dreams by staying at home. After that, I decided that I had to go forward and not go back. We decided that we would inspire women by writing, after which some women got inspired and contacted us. I also counselled him and he found a difference in his life and I felt very happy that I could be of some help to him.


6.Eight of your articles and poems have been published in anthologies. Can you highlight some of your favorite pieces and the messages you aimed to convey through them?

Yes, of course, it is my good fortune-

Silent of fear, Diamond from dust, त्योहार का महत्व, हमे भी अधिकार है

As written in many Enthologies



किसी की खुशियों का कारण बनू मैं

 लड़कियों और महिलाओं को प्रेरित कर

 आगे बढ़ाने में मददगार, साबित हो सकूं मैं 

 ऐसा प्रयास निरंतर करती रहती हूं मैं

 मनुष्य जन्म मिला, इसे सार्थक कर सकूं मैं

 कभी मैसेज यूपी बनके,कभी रचना लिखकर

 कभी प्रतियोगिता जीतकर प्रेरणा देती हूं मैं

 उम्र का हो कोई भी पड़ाव क्या फर्क पड़ता है

 परिस्थिति हो कोई तुमको आगे बढ़ते जाना है

 धन अर्जित करने का बस इतना है लालच

 मदद कर सकूं हर किसी की, बिना हाथ फैलाए

 बस यही प्रेरणा देना है मेरे जीवन का लक्ष्य

 कुछ ही महिलाएं या लड़कीयां हो गई प्रेरित

 और बढ़ गई अपने लक्ष्य को प्राप्त करने 

 तब समझूंगी हो गया मेरे जीवन का लक्ष्य पूरा।।

     Swati Bhargava (नक्षत्र )
