Thirumalini Dasari brings glory to Telugu community in US
A rheumatologist and obesity medicine physician by profession and native of Visakhapatnam, Thirumalini Dasari emerged with the title in the grand finale as 'cultural queen carrying the crown of heritage' wherein 41 finalists vied with one another for the title.
Currently, she is residing in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, USA. After completing her MBBS in Andhra Medical College in Visakhapatnam, Thirumalini Dasari did MD in Rheumatology and obesity medicine. 'From the City of Destiny to City of Dreams, I came to New York to do my residency. Back then, I had gone through my share of struggles before becoming a successful doctor in the US. But all through my professional journey, I have equally been focused on becoming a well-groomed intellectual without any compromise on fitness,' she shares with The Hans India when contacted.
Defining beauty pageant as one of the effective platforms to raise the voice of contestants, Thirumalini Dasari finds that the avenue is also a great stage to script a new story altogether. 'Apparently, nothing happens by chance. It's all part of destiny's preordaineddesign. My upbringing gave me a structure to focus on, while my culture shaped my values. My creative traits empowered me, advocacy fuelled my purpose in life and medicine served as a bridge that connected all of them,' she explains.
Apart from alleviating pain through her treatment, the doctor says that her ability to empathise with patients pushed her to gain a professional edge. She says that she derives strength from her mother Dasari Lakshmi Kumari, draws inspiration from her late father Dasari Appala Raju. 'Encouraging me to break stereotypes, my husband Gadi Venkata Satish supports me in my endeavours,' she adds, recommending women to embrace positivity and ignore negativity in order to not just lead a fuller life but also enhance their overall wellbeing.

Exclusive: Shrutika Arjun on Bigg Boss, Salman Khan, Life After the Show, and the True Meaning of Love
In an exclusive conversation with The Hans India, actress Shrutika Arjun opened up about her life after Bigg Boss, her current projects, and the personal love story that changed her perspective forever. Coming out of the Bigg Boss house was far from easy for Shrutika. 'It was traumatic like a luxury jail,' she admitted with a laugh. 'But the kind of exposure it gives you is totally worth it. And for Salman sir, it's super worth it.' While the reality show is known for its intense dynamics and emotional challenges, Shrutika said she has no regrets. 'I'm a completely new face to the Hindi audience, and still, they took me into the biggest show with pan-India reach. I'm so thankful to the channel and to Endemol for that opportunity. It was very tough, but I have no regrets at all.' When asked about any behind-the-scenes conversations with Salman Khan, Shrutika clarified with a smile, 'Everything was in front of the camera. You didn't miss anything,trust me.' Life After Bigg Boss Shrutika is now channeling her energy into new ventures, including judging a Tamil reality show titled Single Pasanga. 'It's basically for single boys who haven't been able to fix themselves up with a permanent girlfriend or are finding it tough to get a bride,' she explained. 'It's something 90s kids can relate to because relationships these days are harder to stick with. It's light, fun, and very relatable, people are going to enjoy it.' Her Idea of Love Since the show touches on relationships, the conversation naturally shifted to Shrutika's own view on love. For her, it's deeply personal and shaped by her husband, Arjun. 'Before I met Arjun, I had a checklist of how I wanted my partner to be,' she recalled. 'But Arjun allowed me to be myself. He loved me exactly as I am. I learned what love truly is from him, it's letting the other person be who they are and loving them for it, not changing them into who you want them to be.' With a career spanning acting, reality television, and now judging, Shrutika's journey reflects a mix of resilience, charm, and heartfelt authenticity, qualities that have won her admirers both on and off the screen.
