Neha Nagar, today a finfluencer with over 1.8 million followers on Instagram, started her journey from a small village in Uttar Pradesh. When her family relocated to Ghaziabad, they faced immense pressure to marry off Nagar and her sister.

β€œAt the time, people back in my village constantly questioned my parents about why they brought two unmarried, young women to the city,” Nagar shared, during Storyboard18’s Share The Spotlight event in Mumbai. β€œThey insisted we would never study and might elope with someone. They urged my parents to marry us off as soon as we turned 18. This was the mentality we were up against.”
