Janhavi Bansal – A Beacon of Beauty, Brilliance, and Benevolence
In a world often captivated by outward glamour, it is rare to come across someone whose inner strength, compassion, and accomplishments shine just as brightly. Janhavi Bansal is one such extraordinary woman — a celebrated model, TV and film actor, accomplished web designer, and a devoted social worker — whose journey is as powerful as it is graceful. She is not merely admired for her appearance, but deeply respected for her actions.
Born and raised in Chandigarh, Janhavi’s academic roots are as strong as her public persona. She graduated in Humanities from the prestigious Government College for Girls, Sector 11, and later pursued post-graduation in Human Rights from Punjab University — a subject that aligns perfectly with her deep concern for justice, equality, and human dignity. Not stopping there, she equipped herself with computer literacy by mastering courses in HTML, MS Office, and Web Designing, making her a modern woman with traditional values and contemporary skills.
Her foray into the modeling world was marked by confidence, charisma, and elegance. Janhavi walked into the spotlight and quickly became the face of several beauty pageants, winning titles like Mrs. Glamorous Tricity, Mrs. India Pride of North, Fitness Queen, and Beauty of North India.
Her grace on the ramp was not just physical, but intellectual and expressive — winning her titles like Best Spokesperson, Perfect Ramp Walker, and Best Dressed by RJ Meenakshi of MyFM. Her presence was always magnetic, yet humble, a rare combination that charmed audiences and juries alike.
Over the years, Janhavi’s talent and dedication have earned her a long list of accolades. She has been honoured with the Maharani Ahilyabai Holkar Award (2024) at Punjab University and the Pride of the Globe award by Beat Zone. In 2019, she was named Woman of the Year and received the Ek Pehchaan Award on International Women’s Day.
Her inclusion among the 51 Most Influential Women of Tricity by Brijboomi Foundation (mentored by Hema Malini Ji) was a testament to her growing impact. In a proud international moment, her life story was published in a New York-based newspaper, and she appeared on the talk show “Queens of India” aired on Women TV India.
Janhavi’s commitment to society is both consistent and commendable. As President of the Tathastu Charitable Society Panchkula, and Head of Art & Culture at the Rashtriya Mahila Jagriti Manch, she has been at the forefront of numerous social initiatives. She also serves as Secretary of the Human Rights Protection Foundation (Tricity) and holds the title of Global Ambassador of Peace at The World People’s Forum. Her work as a State Motivator for Aesthetics International (Haryana) and her passion for empowering women and children have touched countless lives.
Her association with fashion has always been rooted in a higher purpose. Janhavi has walked the ramp not just for fame, but for change — participating in fashion shows to support cancer survivors, underprivileged children, and specially-abled kids. She has volunteered as a yoga teacher with the Bhartiya Yog Sansthan, walked in candle marches for Pulwama martyrs, joined campaigns to stop violence against women, and supported mass weddings for girls from economically weaker backgrounds. Each cause she supports reflects her integrity and her determination to give back to society.
A true all-rounder, Janhavi has also won accolades in essay writing competitions, cookery contests, and environmental campaigns like Green Diwali. She has planted trees with local leaders, participated in marathons, and been an invited guest on platforms such as Zee News and Punjabi Star Live. Her presence as a jury member and celebrity guest in beauty pageants, cultural events, and social functions further reflects her influence and popularity.
