When asked how she manages to do so many things with great élan, Gehna says, “They say life is very short. However, I feel life is too long to do just one thing.

I knew that I will end up doing something in that space. After I gained recognition as a social media influencer, I decided to tap into a few of my other interests like modelling, makeup artistry, DJing and singing. I was fortunate enough to taste success in each of these fields.”
