The Back Story- Sonakshi Samaga

Which talent would you most like to have?

If having eidetic memory is like how they show in movies, that would be amazing!

What do you most value in your friends and in colleagues – and are they different things?

I value honesty in both my friends and colleagues. I find that having open dialogues help me build deeper connections with my friends and makes it easier to collaborate with my colleagues.

Which historical figure do you most identify with?

There are many historical figures whose traits I identify with and can’t pick one! In terms of who inspires me, I would say Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Although she had a quiet and reserved demeanor she was a significantly influential individual and made remarkable contributions to law and justice.

What is your motto?

Life isn’t about finding yourself its about creating yourself. Reminding myself that I have the agency to shape my life, make choices, and evolve in ways that align with my aspirations keeps me motivated every day!e.

Finally – You’ve time travelled back to your 10- year old self – What advice would you give?

Don’t be afraid to challenge things! In school, I was an A* student and was rewarded for being obedient and following things by the book. Over time I recognized the value I bring to the table is really by voicing my thoughts and engaging in healthy debates with people who have different perspectives.
