Mumbai’s Girl With Big Dreams
In the bustling city of Mumbai, where dreams often get lost in the chaos, Chandni Solanki carved her own path. A lover of books, cozy café corners, and solo travel, Chandni’s story started as an ordinary one. But there was nothing ordinary about her dreams.
What began as a teenage experiment with TikTok at the age of 15 turned into a career that would not only shape her life but inspire countless others. “I started making videos just for fun,” she shares. “I never thought it would become a full-time job, let alone a part of my identity. From casual entertainment to becoming a recognized influencer in beauty, fashion, and lifestyle, Chandni’s journey proves that dreams pursued with passion have the power to shatter every expectation.
The Power Of Determination
Not all roads to success are smooth, and Chandni’s path was no exception. Like many young dreamers, she faced resistance from her family. “My parents wanted me to focus on studies and pick a stable career,” she recalls. But Chandni’s determination was unshakeable. “I’ve always been a stubborn kid. I knew what I wanted, and I wasn’t going to give up on it.”
That stubbornness became her superpower, helping her navigate the unpredictable and ever-changing world of content creation. But even now, despite her success, she keeps her feet firmly on the ground. “I don’t think I’ve made it yet,” Chandni says. “There’s still so much I want to achieve, so much potential I need to showcase.”
The Reality Of Influencing: Beyond Glam And Glitter
Life as an influencer is often romanticized, but Chandni isn’t afraid to share the truth. “It’s not just about pretty pictures and trending reels. There’s a curveball every single day,” she says. From staying relevant to creating meaningful content, the hustle is real.
What sets her apart is her authenticity. Chandni’s content reflects her everyday life, simple yet impactful. She mixes beauty, skincare, and fashion tips with her own experiences, offering advice that’s both practical and relatable.
“Skincare is about basics: eat lots of fruits and vegetables, drink plenty of water, and take care of yourself,” she says. As for fashion?
“It’s all about mood. Some days, I’m all black and white—classic and chic. Other days, I want bold, vibrant colors. Fashion is about expressing who you are in the moment.”
The Bookworm Behind The Screen
What makes Chandni truly unique is her love for literature and storytelling. While many influencers focus solely on aesthetics, Chandni finds inspiration in books and authors who resonate with her deeply.
Currently, she’s reading The Forest of Enchantments by Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni. “It’s such a beautiful retelling of the Ramayana, told from Sita’s perspective. It portrays her as a strong, independent woman, and I can’t stop thinking about it,” she shares.
Another author who inspires her is Sally Rooney, known for her simple yet captivating narratives. “Her storytelling is raw and relatable,” Chandni says. “It reminds me that sometimes, simplicity can make the deepest impact.”
Her love for writing started when she was young, scribbling poems and love stories in school, but now, she dreams of weaving her passion for storytelling into her content. “I want to create narratives that connect with people on a personal level. Stories are what make us human, and I want to tell mine in the most meaningful way.”
Changing Perceptions And Shaping The Future
Despite her polished Instagram profile and growing influence, Chandni wants to break the stereotypes people have about her. “A lot of people think I’m just sassy and not grounded, but there’s so much more to me than what you see on the surface,” she says.
To change that perception, she’s planning exciting new projects. Chandni dreams of creating an Instagram series and short films with relatable characters and heartfelt dialogues. “I want people to see my work and feel connected like they’re watching a piece of their own lives unfold,” she explains.
Her Goal?
To combine her love for reading and writing with her visual storytelling, creating content that’s not just entertaining but deeply personal and impactful.
The Inspiration Behind The Vision
When asked who inspires her, Chandni’s face lights up. “Komal Pandey,” she says without hesitation. “She’s a true trailblazer in the industry. Her boldness, creativity, and authenticity inspire me to keep pushing boundaries.”
Like her idol, Chandni wants to leave a lasting impact. “I want to create a legacy that goes beyond Instagram, a brand that’s authentic, relatable, and inspiring.”
