Stage, Strength, and Self-Belief: The Trishita Chaudhuri Story
Some stories don’t begin with privilege.
They begin with quiet courage.
Trishita Chaudhuri’s journey starts in Agartala, Tripura—a place most people don’t instantly picture when they think of national pageant titles, big-city ambition, or runway dreams. But that’s exactly what makes her story unforgettable.
Because Trishita didn’t come from the “right” place. She came from the real place.
Raised in a Bengali household with parents who were government employees, she grew up in a home where dreams were encouraged, but discipline was non-negotiable. Her parents wanted her to be an all-rounder—someone who could shine in academics, but also in dance, singing, sports, and everything that shaped confidence beyond textbooks.
As a child, she didn’t see limits. She only saw possibility.
It was only later that she understood what many young girls from smaller states learn too early—sometimes the world doesn’t notice you quickly when your hometown isn’t part of the spotlight. But Trishita was never meant to wait for permission.
Moving to Delhi during the COVID period wasn’t just a change of city.
It was a complete change of life. For the first time, she was away from her comfort zone. Away from family. Away from familiarity. She started working, handling life alone, and slowly building a version of herself that wasn’t shaped by what people expected—but by what she wanted. Independence, she realized, isn’t glamorous.mIt’s heavy. It’s lonely. It’s brave. And it’s also the moment you finally meet yourself.
Before the crown, there was Kathak. Trishita has always loved the stage. She has always belonged to it. As a Kathak dancer, she learned how to hold presence, how to express emotion without saying a word, how to stand tall even when the world feels too loud.
And somewhere between rhythm and performance, she found something deeper: Confidence. Freedom. And her own voice.
So when she came across Miss VEC Queen of India 2024, it didn’t feel like a random opportunity. It felt like a calling. Not because she was trained for it. But because she was ready for it.
What makes Trishita’s story powerful isn’t just her win. It’s what she carried before the win.
Her struggles started early—when she was sent to a hostel at a young age. Instead of finding growth and safety, she faced bullying and loneliness. That loneliness stayed. It followed her into her teenage years, where life became heavier than it should ever be for a young girl.
At the age of 16–17, she was clinically diagnosed with depression.
And suddenly, her world wasn’t about achievements.
It was about survival.
Even adulthood didn’t bring easy relief. Trishita was diagnosed with PCOD and PMDD, conditions that don’t just affect the body—but also the mind. Anxiety, mood swings, depressive phases… days where emotions feel impossible to control.
But what’s remarkable about her is not that she never struggled.mIt’s that she never stopped choosing herself. She learned to accept her bad days. And to truly live her good days.
When Trishita moved to Delhi, she didn’t start with a fancy job or a soft landing. She started as an intern earning ₹5000 a month. She worked 18 to 20 hours a day, juggling college, work pressure, financial stress, and the emotional weight of being away from family. Some days, it wasn’t even about ambition—it was about simply pushing through.
But every exhausting day built her into something unshakable.
A girl who knew how to survive.
And therefore, a woman who knew how to rise.
Through all of it, her biggest support system remained her mother—steady, loving, and always present in spirit, even from miles away.
When Trishita entered the pageant world, she entered as an outsider.
No grooming.
No contacts.
No industry background.
No experience.
And yes—she was intimidated. Because she was surrounded by women who looked like they belonged there. But Trishita didn’t compete with them. She competed with her own fear.
She focused on what she did have: her confidence, her stage presence, her authenticity. And then she did the impossible.
She won.
Miss VEC Queen of India 2024 — her very first pageant.
And suddenly, the girl from Tripura wasn’t just participating. She was leading.
Trishita’s achievements don’t feel like a typical highlight reel—they feel like a life she built with her own hands. She won her first-ever pageant and brought the crown home, not with years of experience, but with belief and courage. She became financially independent at a young age, starting small and slowly building her career in digital marketing completely from scratch. In 2025, she took another bold step by launching her own business in Agartala—Miss Tea Home, an Airbnb venture that grew into three properties while she continued pursuing her MBA. Along the way, she collaborated with respected brands like Voila, Malabar, and Indian Luxury Couture Week, and after her pageant win, she also stepped into meaningful social spaces by becoming a chief guest in NGO programs. But beyond every title, project, or professional milestone, her most powerful achievement is deeply personal—she fought depression, faced her struggles head-on, and still chose to rise, heal, and keep growing. Because in the end, her biggest victory isn’t the crown. Her biggest victory is herself.
Trishita isn’t a one-title woman. She wants to expand Miss Tea Home into a recognized hospitality chain across Tripura and the Northeast—building not just a business, but a regional legacy.
She wants to grow in modeling and pageantry, work with bigger brands, and step onto national and international platforms.
She wants to build her career strongly in marketing and digital space using her MBA knowledge.
But her purpose goes beyond personal success.
She wants to use her voice for mental health awareness.
For women empowerment.
For girls who grew up feeling unseen.
Because somewhere in a small town, a young girl is watching her story.
And for the first time, she’s thinking:
“Maybe my background isn’t my limitation.”
“Maybe it’s my power.”
