~ Shilpa Shetty emphasises perseverance as the key to success at Femina Circle’s empowering debut in Pune~
National, April 4, 2025: Femina Circle, is an exclusive membership club designed for women to connect, foster meaningful relationships, and thrive together. The launch event was held at One8 Commune, Pune on April 2, 2025 and was graced by acclaimed actress, entrepreneur and wellness advocate Shilpa Shetty who led a compelling discussion on ‘Finding Your Balance: Wellness, Success and Purpose’, leaving a lasting impact on the members.
An initiative by Femina, India’s leading women’s lifestyle brand, Femina Circle is a year-long initiative featuring 10 meticulously curated events, which brings together women from diverse backgrounds to connect with and uplift one another. The event commenced with a glamorous red-carpet welcome, setting the stage for an afternoon of thought-provoking conversations and interactive sessions.
In an engaging fireside chat with Femina Editor-In-Chief Ambika Muttoo, Shilpa Shetty shared her journey of balancing a thriving career with personal wellbeing and a strong sense of purpose. Her invaluable perspectives on embracing wellness, navigating challenges, and achieving long-term success resonated deeply with attendees, leaving them inspired and motivated.
One of the most impactful moments of the evening was when Shilpa Shetty, who has always been guided by her mantra of living in the moment, shared a profound realisation she had had while preparing for the event – when a song from her debut film Baazigar played on the screen. As she watched, she reflected on her journey, comparing her younger self to the person she has become today, taking immense pride in her evolution and accomplishments. She further elaborated on how her experiences and challenges have shaped her into the resilient woman she is today. She encouraged women to remain consistent in their pursuits, highlighting that, while progress might not always be immediately visible, perseverance is the true key to success – whether in professional achievements or personal wellbeing.
Speaking about the success of the launch event, Ambika Muttoo, Editor-in-Chief of Femina, shared, “Femina Circle is more than just a networking platform, it is a movement dedicated to creating an ever-growing community of women who empower each other. The overwhelming response to our launch event reaffirms our vision of fostering genuine connections, and Shilpa Shetty’s insights set the perfect tone for what lies ahead. This is just the beginning of many enriching experiences that will unfold throughout the year.”
