The Astounding Story of Dr. Pooja Tripathi Pandey
What makes a woman beautiful?
Is it the glam and the mind-blowing looks she posses?
Is it the way in which she flaunts her style,
Is it her colour, her skin, her eyes or her figure?
Or is it the way everyone gets crazy about her?
What does it take for a woman to be termed beautiful?
Today we at Fashion Herald present you with a personality that we found to be very inspiring.
The world will put forth these images before you:
A beautiful woman and A strong woman.
The beautiful one is not strong but a fragile lady with sophisticated manners while the strong one does not possess beauty because she is probably muscular, sweaty and her face has scars because of all the sports she is involved in.
Dr Pooja Tripathi Pandey
If you ask Doctor Pooja Tripathi Pandey about this, she will tell you that beauty and strength of a woman is much-much more than what meets the eye.
She was born in a service class family. Her mother was a lecturer of economics while her father was a DSP with the proud title of Purvanchal Ka Sher.
Pooja was the eldest among her two younger sisters.It was all beautiful and perfect for her until the cruelty of life destroyed her little family.She was in class 7th when her father was shot, and that resulted in his paralysis, and later, death took over him when she was in class 12.Suddenly everything lost its balance in her life.
She had two choices:
Either she could blame her luck and life for being cruel to her and become a victim.
Or
She could stand strong for her mother, her younger sisters and herself and become a warrior.
She chose to be the warrior and took control of her own Life.
After this sudden unexpected and heart wrenching incident, Pooja and her family, naturally, were bombarded with many difficulties, but she helped them to stand strong through it all and become self-dependent.She took over all the responsibilities of her home and her family and kept on growing.
She cracked medicals and then persued her Masters in Physiology from Lucknow with PhD. She has also doneClinical Research and PhD in Health Care from Cranfield University UK. She has mentored more than 700 doctors till date.
She is a research fellow, a fitness enthusiast, health promoter, writer, as well as an educationalist. She has done Prabhakar in Kathak following Jaipur Gharana. She was also a State Gymnast and NCC cadet, represented Uttar Pradesh on Republic day as the best cadet.
Wait. There’s more.
She is a Doctor / Assistant Professor in physiology, model, Nodal Officer Of Pradhan Mantri Janarogya Yojana (Ayushman), Cultural and Sports Head & PRO/Spokesperson in GMC Shahjahanpur under King George Medical University, Uttar Pradesh.
Philanthropist member of an NGO, Aksharam Foundation, actively working since 7 years.
Wait. For. It.
She has the following titles on her name:
- Brand ambassador of Health Queen India.
- Queen Universe 2019.
- Queen Universe India International 2019.
- Mrs India Earth 2018.
- Mrs India Earth Most Charming Face.
She has been Trained and mentored by National Pageant coach Rita Gangwani.
And she received all these titles after completing ten years of marriage life, along with being a mother to a five year old son.
And she has no plans to stop now.
Life has never been easy for her. On 10 February 2019, her face got burned with acid due to an accident in the clinic. Although she was depressed throughout the treatment, she still did not take leave from her duties and while fighting with this new obstacle, she realised the beauty and importance of life and hence channelized all her energy into good deeds.Her story proved to be unbelievable and fantastic for us. She showed the world that beauty and strength is in the very nature of a woman and that everything is possible, if only you truly love and believe in yourself.
Dr Pooja Tripathi Pandey will tell you that beauty is not just an attractive face that captures the eye for a few moments but beauty is the inner strength, aura and personality that becomes impossible to forget. A Life that is too fascinating to believe in.
A woman is beautiful just as she is, that You are beautiful just as You are.
What does it take a woman to be termed beautiful?
A woman with a woman’s heart.
And if you still think that you are unable to achieve more in life because of the circumstances Life throws at you, that you are not strong enough or beautiful enough because of the obstacles that you have faced. Let’s think again?
