Manisha Khungar's Inspiring Message At SheThePeople 40 Over 40 Awards

During her winning speech, Khungar shared her journey and revealed that it’s her commitment that helped her pursue her dreams fearlessly. She said, "I think I'm a little bit of a crusader for women, for women in wellness, for women to chase their dreams. I'm a mom of two girls, a single mom at that, and my mom is here as well. 

Khungar’s words resonated with many, as she emphasised the importance of living without fear and breaking boundaries. She continued, "I'm a swim coach, a fitness instructor, an endurance athlete, and so on and so forth. So to live well, to chase your dreams, to not be limited by boundaries, to not be scared—don't live in fear. The one thing that I tell everyone is that when they come to me now and they're a little bit apprehensive, I say, "Don't be scared of the outcome; just go for it."

She also shared a lighthearted moment about her age and the award, saying, "Much like a doctor over here, when they called me and they said 40 over 40, I said, Oh, I don't qualify because I'm now beyond 50. They said no, you qualify because you're over 40, so I was very happy about that."

Khungar concluded her speech with a powerful message: "Be fearless, chase your dreams, don't have boundaries, and garner the friendships that you have amongst the women that you have."

Take a look at what she said.

The 40 Over 40 Awards 2024 not only celebrate the achievements of women like Manisha Khungar but also inspire others to pursue their aspirations regardless of age. These women have shown that it is never too late to chase your dreams and make a significant impact in your chosen field.
