Post their vacation, Shreya had a day off before resuming her schedule. At the breakfast table she said, “ Mom I want to start an NGO.” Rani glanced at Aditya & he smiled back gesturing that his wife is always right. Rani asked, “Isn’t it too early my dear. There are already so many NGOs…do you just want to add up one more?”…she continued Firstly get associated with an NGO, do your ground work, gain experience & then plan branching out. Do not plunge into matters. It looks good at surface…but to work on social issues, one needs to devote lot of time & invest money. You need to test the waters before you actually decide to swim. Having said that, we are always there to support you & as usual winning is not important…trying is.” Shreya understood her mom’s point of view & decided to touch base with NGO which she was associated with during her winning phase- the Miss World days.
2years later, Shreya was working with an NGO. She continued acting in movies. However, she became selective of her roles & gradually took sabbatical from acting, making way for younger brigade. She was actively involved in many social causes. Her parents loved the way she balanced her career & social work. She handled her life gracefully. At times she was the face of few projects while at times she was deeply involved from its inception to the final stages. Her involvement reaped a lot of goodwill. She had used her name & fame to get sponsorships for various events.
