there’s a song written by a 12 year old
grease Vanderwall I don’t know my name I
don’t play by the rules of the games so
you say I’m lost
trying to get found in an ocean of
people I think these lyrics completely
defines the story of many youths out
here including me as a child in our
country in our society we have this
common ambition to become either a
doctor or an engineer and that specially
happens when we are scoring good grades
in our standards and so did that happen
with me whenever anyone used to come and
ask me Nikita what do you want to be
once I grew up I want to be a doctor I
[Music]
literally used to study only the day
before my exam and somehow I ranked
first or second in my class and that was
it
that was enough to keep the motivation
up that I might be a doctor in the
future
can you believe me I remember I was in
my ninth standard when one of my senior
came up with an opportunity to me it was
for a duet dance drama she would be
playing the role of a housewife and I
had to play the character of a husband
of a violent husband I had no idea what
acting was all about
I was so hesitated but something
happened something different happened
the girl who was known to be very much
staying in her comfort zone stepped out
of it and took that opportunity it
was not about being on the stage it was
not about performing in front of people
but it was about acting and performing
like someone else like some different
personality root violent destructive in
my surprise I was appreciated for my
performance and that gave me the
encouragement the motivation and
gradually I started getting fascinated
with acting the end of ten standard when
we have to choose our stream science
commerce or arts thankfully I had known
by them that I am NOT meant for medical
at all so I chose commerce if you guys
are aware I was really bashed for my
looks for my physical appearance when I
had won the title of Miss Nepal World
actually back in the school the first
preference that went for the central
character of any dance drama was to the
prettiest looking girl of the lot and
that of course was not me and let me
tell you I am an introvert person I
cannot really speak up mingle with
anyone so easily so for a few days of
the rehearsals I used to stay quiet I
used to keep that urge that passion of
me to play the central character within
myself I used to sit in the restroom in
the washroom for hours long thinking of
if I was playing the lead role the
central character how I would have
performed fortunately I did go to the
choreographers I walked out of my
comfort zone I went and spoke to the
choreographers I asked them if I could
just give it a try it so happened that
any dance drama happened in my school I
was playing the lead role I was in the
by the end of 12 I was sure I wanted to
pursue my career into acting I was so
sure but of course I could not because I
had to have a certificate of a
bachelor’s degree with me because what
if I fail I need to have a backup
what is the society gonna say what are
my relatives going to say so I joined
Christ University in Bangalore for
bachelor’s of business management I
survived there for like six months I
dropped out I looked for modeling jobs
there in Bangalore I did a few photo
shoots few ramps and then the next
curriculum year had already come I
joined diploma course in fashion
communication in JD Institute of Fashion
Technology in Bangalore again survived
for another 4 5 months maybe by now I
was dropped out twice and my modeling
career also was not going anywhere I was
rejected I was rejected everywhere I had
no idea what was going on I had no idea
what I was doing I could not see any
path I could not see any opportunity all
I used to do was stay back at home watch
movies all day long and cry my heart out
that I want to see myself in that big
screen in movies someday I used to cry
just in a few months time a miracle
happened I found an opportunity on
Facebook
it was ramp modeling in the Himalayan
times tgif Nepal Fashion Week 2017 I was
not sure if I would be selected here or
not but in all sorts of dilemma in all
sorts of confusion I came down to
Katmandu for the very first time for the
auditions I gave my auditions I flew
back to Bangalore I had not heard from
the organization’s of my selection but
still I started preparing myself I
started working practicing ramp walk
every single day I was called for this
show I came here I did my job every
single day of the show I was recognized
every single day in the newspaper my
pictures were there so many high-profile
people from the fashion industry
themselves came and appreciated me for
my walk since Miss Nepal auditions were
round the corner they even suggested me
that I should apply for Miss Nepal again
lots of hesitation lots of confusion I
had no idea if it was something I wanted
to do but since I had nothing else to do
nowhere to go I went for the auditions I
guess I got selected in on the first day
or the second day of the trainings
itself I was like I’m dropping out I do
not think I’m able to give what it
requires I do not think I am the right
person for it for the beauty pageant
but since the opportunity had come my
way I did not want to leave it and I
went along with it
with a fear of failure though but on
June 2nd 2017 I was crowned as the Miss
Nepal world 2017 and today I’m working
the time when I was going through lots
of anxieties and all sorts of
frustration and was trying really hard
to see positive in everything that I was
going through I to convince myself I
used to tell myself that do not worry
this is a story being created to be
narrated as the story behind your
success Nikita do not worry I know this
long way to go a very long way to go
still but I’m glad that I’m standing
here at this platform speaking up my
story narrating my story for the witness
of progress and at last I would like to
call Theodore Roosevelt in any moment of
decision the best thing you can do is
the right thing the next best thing you
can do is the wrong thing the worst
thing you can do is nothing so walk out
so walk out of your comfort zone
whenever required and take the
opportunities that comes along your way
because opportunities do not come twice
and you never know what they might lead
you to believe in yourself believe in
your capabilities miracles do happen thank you
