With an awe-inspiring journey that blends the worlds of fashion, fitness, acting, public service, and health, Chauhan exemplifies the true essence of a modern woman.

Behind this successful model and artist is a full-time physical therapist, a dedicated mother of two and a loving wife. She embodies the perfect picture of balance, keeping her passion and profession at equal priority. Her dedication to her family is as unwavering as her commitment to her patients. In the wake of welcoming her second child, Chauhan embarked on a fitness journey that has since inspired millions of mothers around the globe.

Her invention, ‘Yog Garba,’ a challenging-yet-enjoyable blend of Gujarati folk dance and exercises, garnered her spontaneous recognition in national and international newspapers. She crafted a fun route into wellbeing with the innovative program, which has been widely celebrated by her facility patients.
Bound by a steadfast humanitarian commitment, Chauhan joined the race for Mrs. Universe USA in 2023 with a noble cause close to her heart.
