Jahnavi Soni is an award-winning model and actor from Jaipur who overcame family and societal challenges to pursue higher education and a career in modelling and acting. She discovered her business acumen and artistic talents, eventually earning recognition and success in modelling, sketching, and promoting organic products. Jahnavi is working to empower women and advocate for environmental sustainability.

Jahnavi Soni is an actor and a model hailing from Jaipur, Rajasthan. She is a ‘Sparkling Smile of Rajasthan 2021’ awardee. She has a BBA and wants to start a business.

Jahnavi was born and brought up in Jaipur itself. While pursuing her secondary schooling, she opted for science and mathematics as optional subjects, as she always aspired to become a scientist. After completing her 12th grade, she realised her skills and business acumen and thus chose to pursue BBA. Before starting her business, as she was too young, she decided to pursue acting, modelling, and being a theatre artist as her career.

Jahnavi belongs to a family where girls were not allowed to go for higher studies. She faced a lot of problems when she asked her family for permission to join a college, and she is the first daughter from the family to join higher education.

Jahnavi started modelling after finishing school. Initially, her family was unhappy when they found out about her auditions for Miss Rajasthan. However, when Jahnavi took her mother to a modelling event, her mother saw how other women supported their daughters in the industry. This experience changed her mother’s perspective, and she came to appreciate Jahnavi's talent. Despite achieving success and earning her father's support, Jahnavi still encounters criticism from her community.

Jahnavi also shares that she was obese in 10th grade. However, she joined yoga and worked on her fitness and diet, transforming herself into the person she is today. Given her past fitness journey, a career in modelling feels like a dream come true.

In addition, Jahnavi advises parents of aspiring models that there is nothing wrong with the industry as long as their daughter operates within her comfort zone. She also suggests that aspiring models should pursue this career with their parents' knowledge and support to prevent any potential issues in the future.

Regarding her role models, Jahnavi admires certain qualities in her mother and father. However, she deeply regards Sushmita Sen as her primary role model. Sen's achievements—adopting two children at a young age, starting an NGO, becoming financially independent, launching her own business, and maintaining a sense of spirituality and positivity—serve as profound inspiration for Jahnavi.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Jahnavi realised her flair for sketching in the first phase of the lockdown. Hence, she took up sketching and graphic design courses, started her YouTube channel, and took online classes. She started receiving orders on Instagram, and some students joined her to learn the art from her.

In her free time, Jahnavi enjoys sketching, painting, and writing blogs about cities. She often creates spiritual paintings designed to refresh and uplift the viewer. During times of depression or uncertainty in her career, meditation has been a crucial tool for her, helping to calm and stabilize her mind.

Being a model, Jahnavi has to use a lot of make-up products on her skin regularly. Hence, she is constantly searching for pure and organic products that cause minimal damage but rather nourish her skin naturally. Jahnavi is approaching such Indian brands and trying to showcase their products through her YouTube channel by providing a review of them. We can easily search her YouTube and Instagram channels by the name ‘Jahnavi Soni Official.’

Jahnavi advises that you should never accept others' decisions blindly. Instead, thoroughly assess the field you've chosen for yourself before diving into it.

For the aspirants in the field of modelling, Jahnavi says: Do not hide anything from your parents, as modelling is a good field. Jahnavi suggests working till you feel comfortable and always dating your profession on a trial basis before adopting it as a lifetime career choice. She shares that challenges can arise in any profession. Therefore, we must ensure that our work is legal, brings joy to our hearts, and has the support of our family.

In a message to people worldwide, Jahnavi highlights that our immunity is declining due to the high levels of chemicals used in modern agriculture. She points out that 65% of American land has become infertile due to these practices, and the global situation is equally alarming. Jahnavi warns that if we do not take immediate action, we may face a shortage of fertile land in just 20 years. She emphasizes that our ecosystem relies heavily on plants.

To make a global impact, Jahnavi urges us to join the "Conscious Planet" initiative by Sadhguru. This 100-day rally will cover 27 countries, beginning in London and concluding at the Kaveri Basin in India. She emphasises the importance of spreading the message of "Conscious Planet" to raise awareness about wise resource usage and organic farming.
