MUMBAI: The celebrated songstress recently set the internet abuzz with eloquent lines announcing her latest achievement-gracing the cover of a prestigious magazine. In her message, she penned empowering words on body positivity, urging readers to see it not as an excuse to ignore health but as a celebration of self-acceptance. She challenged the misconception that beauty or worth lies in a specific body type, reminding us that true allure transcends mere size or shape. Reflecting on her journey, she noted that less than two years ago, despite being younger, slimmer, and arguably fitter, she was never a cover girl. Now, with resilience, self-love, and the unwavering support of her audience, she celebrates this milestone as a testament to hard work and authenticity.
Soumita recently graced the cover of 'Elysian Magazine' a part of 'The Unheard Stories' series curated by Shruti Singh. In her own words, she eloquently expressed, “I do not advocate for obesity or glorify neglecting health under the guise of body positivity. Yet, sometimes nonconformity is empowering. Perfection isn’t required to excel-it’s your skill, influence, and authenticity that transcend societal ideals of beauty. Eighteen months ago, I was in finer form, yet still didn’t grace a magazine cover. True distinction lies in honing one’s craft, not shedding kilos here and there. Happy to grace the cover.” The Bengali songbird exudes elegance, seamlessly merging varied styles with regal simplicity.
