Her commitment to service has deeply influenced Himanya, instilling in her a sense of empathy, discipline, and purpose. It’s no wonder Himanya draws emotional strength and motivation from the two powerful women in her life.
In her own words, Himanya reflects,
“Dance is not just movement for me — it’s the language of my soul. I feel alive when I perform. This award is not just mine; it belongs to my mother and grandmother. They are my strength, my inspiration, and my first audience.”
