“Even my Friends are relatives we not very understanding”

Going through a transformation is not very easy and when it is something related to body image, people around you can be really cruel which makes one go through an emotional turmoil. Remembering about the roller coaster ride of emotions Diksha went through, she explains how her family members, relatives and even her best friend mocked her at various occasions for not being in shape without understanding the health issues she had been facing and the psychological trauma she was already going through.

She explains that it didn’t end there and even now when she is trying to provide people with her services and is trying to help them in their fitness journey through the means of social media, people still make some mean comments about her and it is impossible to fit into people’s notion of a perfect body.

Transfers can be challenging but helps to explore more

Being an army officer’s wife Diksha says that she needs to keep on moving and changing places every now and then and it hasn’t been easy for her. According to her it feels like living life in a suitcase. As she shifted to Kashmir there was no internet over there and even if she was  lucky enough to find some it was a very slow speed internet which made it harder to manage work. 

She explains that when it comes to the professional front there are many limitations as she can not set up an office or a place for her venture as she needs to move every two years. There are many challenges and commitments that you have professionally and personally as well.
