Beating a life-threatening disease and facing all the challenges in life head-on, Shraddha without any complaints is living a normal life that is an inspiration in itself for many.

Shraddha Parekh is a Numerologist and Life Coach. She is a survivor of Lupus – an autoimmune disease, and she spreads awareness about the same through social media.

Shraddha was born and raised in Mumbai. She shares that she was diagnosed with Lupus at the age of eight. It was quite tragic for her parents when doctors told them that she would survive only six more months. But her parents, instead of losing hope, provided her the best medical treatment that they could do and she survived.

Shraddha explains that Lupus is an autoimmune disease in which the immune system of the human body attacks its own tissues which can affect the joints, lungs, kidneys, etc. of the body. Besides, she says that there is very little awareness about the disease among people and she tries to educate people about the same through social media.

Talking about struggles in life, Shraddha says that it was mentally and physically challenging for her to live with the disease. She says people would mock her owing to her physical appearance. More often than not her bones would get fractured. Her parents had to sell their house for her treatment. She even had to discontinue her studies. But beating all the odds, she survived the disease, and today she is an inspiration to many.

Shraddha acknowledges the fact that her parents and sister always supported her and boosted her morale.

Shraddha says that though doctors advised her not to do any sort of job as any stress would further aggravate her conditions. Nonetheless, she wanted to support her parents. She did her first job in Train and Travelling. Today she works in the HRM department with one of the consulting firms based in Mumbai. Besides, she also runs a YouTube channel by the name “ Anokhi Ki Duniya”, where she uploads videos about her disease and spirituality.

Shraddha advises people not to judge others based on their physical appearances. She says that your one wrong word can wreak emotional havoc in people’s lives.

Talking about her achievements in life, Shraddha says that she was interviewed by a newspaper which is a big achievement for her. Besides, her life story was featured among hundred inspirational stories in the book titled “Being Human.” Furthermore, despite facing all the odds in life, being able to live a normal life and support her family financially is also an achievement for her.

Talking about Covid, Shraddha says that during the pandemic capitalizing on her spare time, she started blogging and uploaded content on her YouTube Channel as much as she could.

In the future, Shraddha wants to establish an NGO to raise awareness about “Lupus”. Besides, she loves traveling and wants to explore as many places as she can.

Her message to people is to love themselves as much as they can because if they can’t love themselves then they can’t love others.
