Reincarnating Raipur
Meet Vanita Sonkar, a model, judge and event manager.
Born and bought up in Rajnanadgaon, she started her career as a model after the birth of her two children. She was interested in modelling since standard 12th. But before Vanita can fulfil her dreams, she got married at an early age.
She was approached by one of her friends to judge for a modelling show and motivated her that she can do it, so after 12 years of marriage, in 2014, she started being a judge for models and fashion shows. She has judged shows like Chhattisgarh Icon, Navbharat Fashion Show, etc. Vanita was invited to be a super judge in IIBA. She says that it was a tough task for her as all the responsibility comes upon the shoulder of the Super Judge.
She became an event director and started doing events for the youth to showcase their talents. Since 2018, she has hosted around 4 shows, which includes- CG Icon, Mr and Mrs Orrisa and Kids Orissa. She says that it feels really good when the young boys and girls look up to you as a mentor or an inspiration.
After all these, she thought of trying doing modelling herself. She was later crowned as Mrs India 2018. “If I was not able to fulfil my dreams as a Miss, I can do it as a Mrs., right?” She says.
Her family and friends always supported her. She also loves to do social work and to help needy children. She never went to the gym and consider yoga as the best way to stay fit.
We see you as an inspiration

Happy birthday mam!
