Mrs.INDIA warrior Queen VEENA PUJAR the crown she received at the VG Miss & Mrs India Season 8 pageant in Delhi on 8-8-2026 is not simply a title,it also represents a journey of resilience, faith and transformation.
An Engineer turned Counselor, Mrs.Veena Pujar has been crowned as VG Miss & Mrs India Warrior Queen 2026 and also recognised with the title “Listening Heart,” Ms.Pujar sees the achievement as another chapter in a much larger story—one that began with confronting personal trauma and gradually finding the strength to turn those experiences into a purpose centred on helping others.Thats why this title of Listening Heart suits her selfless work of counseling people & bringing them out of trauma , through her foundation HAPPY HEALING HAPPY FEELING.

The Listening Heart Mrs.Pujar speaks about the subject from personal experience. Having herself gone through difficult circumstances & traumatic conditions & narcissistic abuse in her own life, she says her journey towards healing was neither immediate nor easy. It involved decades of effort , introspection and taking one step at a time.
“I get you, my dear ones, because I was in the same boat as you. I could come out of it step by step by putting lots of effort and hard work,” she says.
That experience eventually became the inspiration for her upcoming book, The Road from Trauma to Triumph. Through the book, Pujar hopes to share her journey with people who may have spent years dealing with pain, trauma or abuse, particularly those who may feel that there is no way forward.
For her, sharing the story is not about revisiting the past but about giving someone else a reason to believe that healing is possible. “There is a ray of hope.If I can do it, you can too” she welcomes all who are in pain to heal themselves like a phoenix for that to happen. She is ready to lend a helping hand to the victims of abuse as she wants to see them thrive too in their lives.
Counselor & mother of 2 kids Mrs Veena Pujar describes her journey as one of being “forged in fire” and rising “like a phoenix from ashes”—a metaphor that has given by her own Gurus (Mr.Karibasappa) and teachers ( Mrs.Vimala) and psychiatrists ( Dr.Chandrashekhar) who witnessed her journey of transformation.
She likes to thank them through this platform by expressing her heartfelt gratitude for believing in her and taking her as their disciple.
Her work today brings together several different facets of her life. Mrs.Pujar is a single parent, an author & an entrepreneur, as well as an engineer who transitioned into counsellor. Her professional evolution has been shaped by her belief that healing requires not just professional knowledge but empathy and the ability to listen.
That belief was reflected in the “Listening Heart” title she received at the Miss & Mrs India pageant,season 8 at Delhi on 8-8-2026.
The recognition came soon after she was crowned Warrior Queen at the Season 8 edition of VG Miss & Mrs India in Delhi in August 2026. Rather than treating the pageant as the destination, Pujar views it as an opportunity to amplify the message she has been working towards.
Mrs Pujar is also an entrepreneur who owns her handlooms since its an ancestral legacy she takes it forward through her website www.veenapujar.in & there by empowering many women weavers too.
Her spiritual beliefs remain an important part of that journey. Following the pageant, she visited the Neem Karoli Baba Ashram, where she says she went to express her gratitude and bow in prayer for the strength she believes helped her face the challenges of her life.
For Pujar, faith and personal effort have always gone hand in hand.
Today, she wants to use her own experience to encourage others to find their way out of difficult circumstances and eventually become a source of strength for people around them.
Her vision for Happy Healing Happy Feeling extends beyond individual counselling. She wants the platform to create a wider culture of empathy, encouragement and emotional support—particularly for people who may have spent years suffering silently.
“I want you to feel the grace so that you can empower others around you, who are in similar pain and have lost hope in life,” she says.
The larger purpose, according to Mrs Veena Pujar, is simple: to contribute towards making the world a better place to live and love.
Her story, therefore, is not defined only by the crown she now wears. The crown is symbolic of what came before it—the struggles, the setbacks, the decision to keep moving forward and the eventual discovery of a purpose beyond oneself.
With her upcoming book, her work through her own foundation Happy Healing Happy Feeling & her new identity as Warrior Queen 2026, Veena Pujar is now looking at the next phase of her journey: turning a deeply personal experience of survival and healing into a message of hope for others. As its ok to ask for help, Healing is possible. Help yourself to help the world around you. Awaken and uplift yourself to uplift others. Once you know that you are the truth everything gets healed.
