Exclusive: Varsha Shekhawat Reveals The Life Lessons Her Parents Left Behind

What Advice Did Varsha’s Father Leave Her With?

In an emotional conversation, Varsha Shekhawat opened up about one piece of advice from her late father that has stayed with her for years.

Recalling his words, she said:

“One advice of my father remained in my head. He had told me, ‘If you do anything in life, you have two options. Either you have to laugh or cry. And laughing would make it easier.'”

Varsha explained that she chose to live by that philosophy, believing that every difficult situation presents a choice. Rather than dwelling on hardships, she decided to face them with a positive mindset and keep moving forward.

“So I took that advice and I made sure that I just go through it,” she added.

“My Mom Is A One-Man Army”

The entrepreneur also spoke about her mother, describing her as the strongest person she has ever known.

Calling her “a one-man army,” Varsha reflected on the period after her father’s passing and how her mother stepped up to take charge without letting circumstances hold her back.

“My mom, she’s a one-man army. Nothing can stop her.”

She shared that her mother went on to lead an entire industry and became the first woman in her field, setting an example of resilience and determination through her actions rather than words.

The Lesson That Shaped Her Life

According to Varsha, her mother’s greatest lesson wasn’t about business or success – it was about self-reliance.

She recalled her mother constantly reminding her:

“You don’t need anyone to depend on. You just need yourself. That is it.”

For Varsha, the optimism her father instilled and the independence her mother embodied became the two values that continue to guide her through every challenge. Rather than remembering them only through memories, she says she carries their lessons with her every single day.
