Excerpts from the conversation:

Q: What inspired you to become a blogger?

A: I realised the true calling to become a blogger during the time of the COVID-19 pandemic. I felt that it is important to live a life free from obstacles and focus on my life goals. Through my blog, I wanted to share stories and experiences about travel, fashion, beauty, food and lifestyle. I began my blog www.rashmeetkdhiman.co.uk and eventually started creating content on social media as well.

Q: You hold experience in makeup artistry. How did you cope with being an MUA and then a blogger?

A: Honestly, I realised that makeup artistry was mainstream. I have been associated with Mac Cosmetics, but then my inclination tilted towards creativity and social media. I love the fact that I have the liberty to express myself by creating different content and collaborating with brands from many other verticals.

Q: How do you stay relevant in today’s cut-throat competition in the blogging industry?

A: I have always believed in staying authentic to what I do. As a blogger, I feel that it is imperative to create content that is engaging and relatable to the audience. There has been fierce competition in this industry, but my focus has always been to improve myself than what I was yesterday.

Q: You’re a blogger, a certified makeup artist, a wife and a caring mother. How do you juggle between many responsibilities?

A: Well, that’s a tough job. Women are multi-taskers. They are not just phenomenal homemakers but can also manage other works with finesse. I lead a disciplined life and have allotted time to complete distinguished tasks. It’s all about managing the time that matters in the end.

Q: Despite being a trained classical music artist, why did you not choose to become a musician like your uncle and late veteran singer Jagjit Singh?

A: I was naïve and did not understand music back then. Getting into music was like carrying forward a legacy set by Jagjit uncle. I was studying in London in 2011 when he passed away. Till date, I feel lucky to attend his concert in London where he celebrated his 70th birthday. That’s when I fell in love with music. But destiny had some other plans for me, and here I am today. Hustling and living the life of my dreams.

Q: What’s your message for all the aspiring bloggers?

A: Stay real to your audience. That’s what I would want to say. Create content that is meaningful and has a high recall value. I have been practising it, and I hope to serve the audience with diversified content in the years to come.
