I came back home from school exhausted, but then I remembered I had an interview at MY FM. All the tiredness faded, and excitement took over as I got ready and made my way to the studio,
There I met RJ Sakshi, who was warm, energetic, and inquisitive. When we moved into the recording room, she began by asking about the inception of DFEND, how it started, and what inspired me to launch a movement for self-defense and empowerment. The conversation shifted to my favourite questions – how I manage my studies and this initiative, and everything in between. We discussed how my passion evolved, the challenges I faced, and how I convinced people with purpose, not just words. The conversation flowed so naturally that I did not realize how quickly time passed. One moment, we were talking about the early struggles of DFEND, and in the next, RJ Sakshi was wrapping up the show. It was surreal being a part of MY FM’s “Super Woman” show, which celebrates women who embody strength, resilience, and impact.
From that interview, I realized how important it is to pause and reflect. Each question took me back through the doubts, late nights, and small wins that shaped DFEND. It was a reminder that growth is not sudden but built quietly, step by step. And I know that there is so much more to do.
