While interacting with the media, Sini shared that though her family is modern, she grew up in a community that is traditional. “I believe the world tries to define a woman’s value in a certain way, and I believe in finding my own meaning to it. To stand out from those values and find my place was a challenge. I am put up in four corners of the box regarding professional value. I was a novice in every professional sphere. Unifying them and working towards it was a hustle. But hustle is something that drives me and is the reason why I’m here,” she said.
Sini further reveals that Priyanka Chopra, who was crowned the Miss World 2000, is her inspiration. “When you look up to a person, some of their words get stuck by you. I remember hearing an interview of hers where she stated, ‘Don’t try to squeeze into a glass slipper. Instead, shatter the glass ceiling.’ I have been a fan ever since,” she shared.
