Megh says that since the fourth grade, she was always ready to speak or read anything in front of others. Gradually, when she was in higher classes, she decided to choose the anchoring field only and did a course in Mass Communication and Journalism to enter this field. Afterwards, she worked hard to earn a postgraduate degree from IIMC. She got a placement at Akashvani and worked there for two years. In 2020, she started event anchoring as a profession and also started an event management company.
Talking about her journey, Megh says that she was a good student in her school and took science in the twelfth grade. After completing 12th grade, she gave various exams for B.Tech., IIT, IT, and many more. But she didn’t score well due to her lack of interest in the field of science. She was very good at extracurricular activities at her school. She failed in the twelfth board in mathematics.
Afterwards, she decided to pursue the field of journalism, as she had always been interested in this field. She cleared the IIMC exam on her second attempt and then joined it. She was not ready to do a nine-to-five job as she likes to do new things every day, so she left her job at All India Radio and started anchoring events.
Speaking about her challenges, Megh says that it was tough to convince her parents about her career choice, and she also had to work hard to get admission at IIMC. In the field of anchoring too, there are new things, concepts, and scripts coming up every day, so she faced many difficulties in the initial stages. She tried to overcome these challenges and did so successfully.
Sharing her achievements, Megh says that at her first job in Akashvani, she developed different types of skills. She participated in and covered the International Yoga Day campaign and got appreciation from the ministry for that campaign. She got the opportunity to host the Noida Foundation Day event, which was an accomplishment for her. She also hosted some international-level events. She says that earning a handsome amount by following her passion as compared to her salary is her biggest achievement.
Megh’s role model is herself, as she competes with her own weaknesses and tries to improve herself. The other role models in her life are her parents, who have always motivated and supported her a lot. She learned from her parents that if you want to do something, do it on your own. She also admires her teacher, from whom she had taken communication classes.
Megh’s life mantra is ‘Whatever happens to you, happens for a reason’.
Advising everyone, Megh says that it is important to take care of your mental health as it is valued more than physical health. Realize your purpose in life and do whatever you want to do to be happy.
