After spending eight years in Australia, Nayantara Shekhawat, now 24, returned to India with a degree and a vision for her future. The Shekhawat family, thrilled to have their only daughter back, immediately started planning her future, urging her to take over the family business. Though Nayantara had always respected the legacy of the Shekhawat name, she had other aspirations. Eager to make her mark in the world, she accepted her family's suggestion, but it wasn’t long before she felt the weight of her surname pressing down on her.

On her first day at the Shekhawat company office, while walking through the corridors, she overheard a group of employees gossiping about her “privileged” life and how everything had been handed to her. The comment struck a nerve. Nayantara, who had always strived to build her identity on her own terms, couldn’t stand being reduced to just the heiress of the Shekhawat empire. That moment changed everything for her.

Determined to prove she was more than just her family’s name, Nayantara confronted her parents, expressing her desire to live independently and carve her own path. She no longer wanted to be seen as a privileged heiress—she wanted to be Natasha Bedi, a woman with her own dreams and aspirations. Despite the shock and disappointment her decision caused, her family respected her wishes.

With a heavy heart but a determined spirit, she left the Shekhawat mansion and started a new chapter in her life. Natasha Bedi was born from that moment, and with her new identity came the freedom to create a life that was entirely her own.
