Shruti Chauhan
From flying mean machines in the sky to walking the ramp in a beauty pageant, Indian Air Force Wing Commander Shruti Chauhan has shown the world that for her even the sky is not the limit. After fifteen years of distinguished service to the nation, along with being a mother of a 10-year-old daughter, Shruti went after her secret desire of shining in the spotlight and grabbed the center stage at Mrs. India Inc World Beauty Pageant 2021 where she was adjudged the second runner-up.
She comes from the lineage of freedom fighter Devi Singh Chauhan, who was also the PWD and Education Minister, and feels nationalism was instilled in her blood. Hence, her choice of donning the sky blue uniform and wings was discernible to her. A soldier at heart, Shruti is the wife of Gaurav Singh who belongs to the same line of work and is a Wing Commander in the Air Force.
The 38 years old diva was always an outdoor aficionado who loved challenges and seized every opportunity to quench her thirst for adventure. She was a performer and front runner in competitions, both in the field and in art. She was awarded All India Best Cadet in NCC, she is an All India Gold Medalist in Painting and has also been a leader of marching contingents at the prestigious Republic Day Parade at Rajpath. She has been conferred with several awards and honours including Awards from the President of India and the Marathwada Women's Achiever Award felicitated by Shri Anna Hazare in 2011.
A believer of feminism, Shruti Chauhan has made heads turn in her appreciation in all walks of life. Navigating between the roles of a soldier, a wife, a mother, and now a diva, she has set an example for everyone and has made a statement that - A woman can get anything she sets her eyes on. She is an exemplary role model for the girls who want to break free from the chains of society which sets limits on their dreams.
The most 'Common' image of a 38-year-old woman, who is happily married and mother to a 10-year-old girl, would start with something like - talkative, shopping enthusiast, loves working from home. Wing Commander Shruti Chauhan challenges this âCommon Imagination' and takes the Crown of being an âUncommon Woman' who is a soldier at heart, a loving mother, a fitness enthusiast, and a complete woman.
