Adoring her grey hair, Mukta says proudly, “I’ll make grey look glamourous.”
There is a famous saying that passion has no age limit. And when it comes to following your dreams, age is just a number. You can be in your 30s and still pursue graduation or you can start your own business at the age of 40. You should not allow your age to limit the opportunities to make your dreams come true. Bearing testimony to this statement, Mukta Singh broke all the stereotypes of the glamour world and became a model at the age of 58.
Mukta pursued a Master’s in English Literature and is married to a fighter pilot. The frequent transfers of her husband and the job of resettling in new places took precedence over Mukta’s career. Then she got busy taking care of her children and ailing mother. Along with all these, Mukta worked as a freelance writer and wrote for magazines and corporate training programs.
After her mother’s health worsened, Mukta realised that her visits to salons and parlours to colour her hair were taking too much of her time and energy, so she decided to go natural and grey. Today, Mukta embraces her grey hair elegantly and conveys the message that grey is also beautiful.
