  • Faridabad
  • A brief about yourself and how you describe your own personality and persona
  • I am Shaily Aggarwal, born and brought up in Mathura, the birth place of Lord Krishna. It’s a small city in Uttar Pradesh, where girls do not have much opportunities and only thing they have to do get married once they complete their regular studies. Despite, I had never paused giving wings to my imaginations. Being good at studies, I completed my Bachelors and became Chartered Accountant by profession. I am married to Himanshu Aggarwal, based out of Faridabad, who is also a Chartered Accountant by Profession and successfully running his start-up in construction services in NCR region. I am blessed with two beautiful souls as my kids, a boy aged 14 and a girl turning 7 soon. Currently, I am taking care of my home sweet home and parenting my kids to blossom to their full potential. Alongside, I am also taking care the taxation part of my husband’s business. I define myself as a person who is passionate about learning and experimenting with new things and I feel as I am growing my zeal for learning new things is growing with me. I am a self-taught yoga practitioner. I am a self-made woman who listens to her heart and follows it, which doesn’t mean I don’t listen to others but makes cautious decision considering the surroundings.

  • Your achievement that makes you feel high.
  • Not many people amongst our family and society gives importance to working of a woman. Whatever high they study, but they should get married and stay home. Breaking this stereotype, I myself made my way to Mumbai, “sapno ka Shehar” to start my career in the field of taxation and joined Deloitte, world’s leading consultancy firm. I worked in Mumbai for 1.5 years before my marriage in 2006 and till 2017 in Gurgoan (till my daughter born). Another achievement which makes me feel high is how I got myself into fitness after my daughter born and then took Yoga path in 2019 and later completed 500 hrs. Yoga teacher training in year 2021. I also conducted online yoga classes. I was not a big fat women but certainly a little chubby over my lower body. How I transformed from size 34 to size 28 with self-help really fills me with confidence in every action of my life I take. Today, I am the most talked about person amongst my family, friends, and old office colleagues in the fitness and health field.

  • Define the true beauty
  • There can be endless discussion and thoughts as to what is True beauty. To me is “the one who feels comfortable in her own way and accepting others without being judgmental” is true beauty.

  • What makes a complete, healthy and happy family for you?
  • Jaise ek pahiye par gaadi acche tarike se nahi chal sakti, just like that a complete, healthy and happy family cannot be made without the support of mother and father. I have worked almost a decade from 8 am to 8 pm and do understand the how much a kid suffer in absence of a mother. As “Sadhguru ji says, once you have a child it’s a 20 years project. So, one cannot really delicate its responsibility of bringing up the child. From my experience and understanding of our culture, I believe that mother is a pillar of a family and a happy and satisfied mother makes the family complete, healthy and happy. A happy family is where everyone respect each other responsibilities and work area, take pride in others achievements. There is much more deliberation which can happen over this topic, but keeping it short here.

  • What is your favourite idea of Holidaying?
  • Holiday to me is exploring the rich heritage of our country, close to nature where I could do some trekking, climbing on trees, soaking in the water, roaming in jungle, long early morning walks with my husband. Through this I want my children to be close to nature and learn to enjoy what matters most in life and take pride in our cultural values.

  • Why you are participating in Mrs. India Queen of substance?
  • Growing up, I was having a charm of watching international pageant. Not much information was available on these matters in those times and also for a small girl town I uses to really wonder what makes a girl to reach at such stages and what preparation and fun goes behind this. Thanks to social media which gives everyone an opportunity to apply for such prestigious pageant sitting right at the comfort of our home, the unconscious dream somewhere in my soul together my passion for testing myself with new experience has brought me to this famed stage.

  • What bothers you most about what is happening in the country today?
  • Many concerns are there in the country today like pollution be it air, plastic, soil, noise, rising the literacy rate or lowering poverty or cleanliness. I think rising population is one big concern which is hampering the efforts taken in other areas.

  • The quote or saying that encourages you?
  • Keep testing your limits to become the person of your dreams. Be the change you want to see in the world by Mahatma Gandhi Ji.

  • What is true “sportsmanship” for you?
  • The true sportsmanship is defined to me “don’t make excuse when you loose, admire the winner and learn from it to upgrade yourself.

  • 10. If you were selected as a Charity Ambassador what value addition would you like to make for our society and how?
  • Making the society greener and cleaner is “the need of hour”. This year 2024, we have seen the way temperature is rising in the summers and crossing 50 degree is an alarming situation for human beings. Big trees Planting drives and raising awareness amongst the people to plant more and more trees. Planting does not only mean to plant, is also includes taking care of trees we have planted. Connecting with the organization, which are already working in this area, to convert dump yards at various places into a green area is one thing I would like to work upon. Soil degradation is the another cause which disturbs me a lot. I have been a part of various awareness session conducted at regional level under the Save Soil mission by Sadhguru ji. I would be further delighted to work for such programs.
