no less than a dynamic personality. Recently, she even fought against breast cancer and
emerged victoriously while keeping a brave face throughout.
In a candid interview with Women Shine, the actor turned entrepreneur and content
creator shares her experiences of being her boss and how she stood firmly against cancer.
You described yourself as an influencer, blogger, YouTuber, singer, actor, model, and the list
goes on and on. So how do you feel when you see so many adjectives attributed to you?
I feel that there’s so much more that I can do and that lists will get longer as I am willing
to take up stuff that I haven’t tried yet.

You have done television shows and films and are a YouTube influencer. That is, you have
worked on these three different media platforms. So how do it is different from working on
these three platforms? How is the working other on that?
It’s very different because every platform demands other skills and different amounts of
dedication from an actor, or a creator, on television, cinema, and internet platforms. I was
only an actor, but I create content as a digital content creator. So it’s not just acting. So
there are lots of different roles that I play as a creator. I think there’s no comparison
between the two.
You’re the co-founder of SIT- Shitty Ideas Trending. So how does it feel like to do
something of your own?
It feels great. One works very hard to create the videos, and it feels fantastic that they
belong to you and you make them, and people enjoy them. And when we get the
appreciation from the audience, it’s a pat on the back, which is fulfilling!
How did SIT and Being Woman With Chhavi come into existence, and what are your
future plans regarding the same?
SIT is a brainchild of mine and my husband’s together, and we run it together. Being
Woman with Chhavi is something I came up with after becoming a mother. I realized that
many women have questions regarding motherhood and pregnancy that they don’t get
answers to. So I felt if I just shared my journey, it might help others out there, so I started
Being Woman. I don’t plan to execute the ideas that I come up with. I just put them into
action and see where they go.

We saw you were battling cancer, and you had put up such a brave face during this
journey. But there would have been some low days. So on the low days, what motivated you
to get going?
I believe that one should keep looking for motivation. I think motivation is short-lived.
Some days you’re motivated, and some days you’re not. So the thing that you should look
for is not motivation but it’s consistency. If you can consistently continue doing what you
want to do, whether you’re motivated or not, you will eventually get where you want to.
And that is a fundamental mantra that I follow. And when one is diagnosed with cancer,
you don’t need the motivation to survive and fight. You just need consistency to keep
going one day at a time. And I think every person who’s against the survival of breast
cancer has all had their journeys where they’ve had high and low days. But one thing that
everybody shares is that they didn’t stop fighting, which is essential. When you are
diagnosed with a malignant disease such as cancer, you have no choice but to fight. The
universe has not given you a tough choice to make. It’s not giving you two complicated
things to choose from. You have to survive, and that is your only choice. So you may as
well do it happily, and you may as well be in good spirits, or you can be sad and keep
crying.
Nevertheless, I always choose to do everything bravely, and I always prefer to face all my
struggles with a happy face because I don’t think there is any other option. But yet, many
people feel low about their struggles, and I tend to look at them more brightly. I like to
think that I’m blessed in many ways, which keeps me going.
A message for all the women entrepreneurs out there and cancer patients struggling in
their ways.
For all the women entrepreneurs, I’d like to say that don’t doubt yourself. Just have
confidence and faith in yourself if you feel confident about the product you’re
developing, promoting, marketing, manufacturing, or whatever business you’re trying to
establish. Don’t let critics bog you down. And every business needs a little time to
flourish. Give yourself that time, and don’t be hard on yourself. Always accept
constructive criticism because that will make you grow in life.
For cancer patients, I don’t think I am anyone to advise them anything. They’re already
fighting their battle and doing a good job. You can probably smile through the process
and be optimistic about the outcome. This can help make the results of chemo, radio
radiation, surgery, medication, diet, or naturopathy a hundred times better.
