Beauty, charisma, elegance — words of grace and appeal leave no string untouched in creating a vibe so rhythmic that you live with it even without realising. A ‘beauty’ can never be defined with adjectives bestowed upon it. There is always something more profound to that rhythm, to that ambition of living only the best dream; It is the substance that is at its core.
A dream lived so magnificently that the reality feels like effortless ease, Ashoi Dantra is the teen energy that flows romancing the dreams she has believed in so firmly, challenging the actuality, and sculpting a life of inspiration for everyone who has dearly loved his/her dreams.
She reaffirms the concept ‘winning it like a lady’ so finely that her story will leave you with a restored faith in living your life the way you have always fantasised it.
Talk to her, read about her, see her, every time your heart will tell you she wears an invisible crown with a head held up high and the feet rooted to the ground perfectly; eyes sparkling with stories of tomorrow and the smile so cheerful that you will be short of words; a poise so graceful that you wonder how she manages all that at the age when dreams only exist in imaginations.
The Bombay girl made the whole nation proud when she triumphed the World Teen Super Model India | South Asia 2018. Her heart skipped a beat just before her name was announced. She perfectly understands how it feels to be standing on that thin line that is about to make your dream a reality. Those few moments feel like infinity. Finally, they say your name. You know you have won, and the current of positivity flows inside you. You know you have just surpassed the feeling that you might have had failed; you take time to absorb the reality that you have won.
How does the teenage beauty manage everything with the efficiency of a conqueror of the seas and the oceans? The boats of Royal Bombay Yacht Club have been a part of a grand purpose served well, and the Bombay Gymkhana has witnessed an excellent footballer winning the grounds and the hearts equally. She says that football and sailing are different; the former makes you a team player and the latter teaches you to singlehandedly manage challenging situations even in the most unexpected circumstances. A voracious reader, she says that her handbag is never without a book.
Her journey began at the age of three when she shared the spotlight with her twin Anaushka for Tata Steel. The twins have walked ramps together since age seven, been a part of the films like Guru, and modelled for leading brands like Vodafone, Pogo, and so on.
She gives full credits of her success to the strong mother behind her back and the family that always believes in her. A strong lady with a positive Midas touch, her mother, turns every opportunity into gold for her beautiful ladies Ashoi and Anaushka, and justifies the phrase ‘it is the mother who knows the best for her children’.
Brought up with a rich culture and a powerful bond of love and family values, Ashoi says that it will never suffice even if she keeps talking about her jewels for the rest of her life.
Anaushka, an inseparable soulmate, her sister, is her confidante, and they share a friendship so profound that many a time they don’t even have to exchange words to understand each other.
Her father is a man who stays on the ship more than the land but holds such a strong telepathic connection with the family that he knows when they need him and connects to them; His guidance and sense of direction have always been beneficial to the whole family. ‘Always do what you love’ is what he tells his children and they work for it with utmost devotion.
The youngest member of the Dantra family, Keyan is a charming boy with a maturity of a man who understands the world well and supports his family exceptionally well. Keyan is Ashoi’s zone of comfort and source of positive energy. She believes her connection to him is divinely beautiful.
Ashoi says that the best of her habits, choices, and talents are the gifts she received from her family. “Always listen to your parents, they know the best of you and the best for you,” she says. She understands that the freedom and the power to write her own destiny come with a responsibility to live a life of most excellent quality and make a positive difference in the lives of others.
Ashoi is committed to human and animal welfare activities and makes it a point to get involved in charitable movements to contribute to the happiness of others. She is a constant member of many NGOs and her schedules, however busy, are so planned that she takes time to visit those places and play her part well.
Ashoi raised Rupees 12,000 for her first welfare campaign. She says, “For me, the value of that money is as precious as any of my awards; it is an achievement that I accomplished, and it will always be special.” As they say, the most beautiful things in life are the simplest ones.
While Ashoi was preparing for the pageant World Teen Super Model India | South Asia 2018, she understood that mental fitness and strength are equally vital as physical fitness. She understands what it means to be better than herself, every day, with each step ahead. Yes, those who prepare with complete dedication are always lucky. The stars shine brightly for the brave souls who dare to dream.
Some moments before the announcement of the final decision where the young lady claimed her title, her mother had visited her backstage. Her mother said, “It is all right if you don’t win today, you will be successful in being better than yourself. No matter what, we all believe in you.” Ashoi says that the words of her mother backstage and the expressions of her parents and dear ones holding hands when everyone was waiting for the result to be announced gave her the strength to confront the world that day more confidently and to win, and be crowned as the World Teen Super Model India 2018. She could sense her family looking at her and saying, “We knew it; we always believed in you!”
Talking to Ashoi, you will have goosebumps because of the super positive teen energy that she holds into herself and that flows out with an elegance worth admiration. She will take you to a world of tales where the fairies are real, strong women who live their lives so beautifully. Surely, she is a success story in making that is going to make India ‘super proud’ time and again with every step forward. She will be a part of the 11th Annual World Supermodel platform in November at Vietnam. We wish her all the best for all her future endeavours and adventures!
A simple thank you will always be less for her for making us feel so good about life. We wish Ashoi be forever blessed by all!
