Spotlight





Manoshi Kanta Sarkar’s story begins in North Bengal, unfolding through the hills of Kurseong—where her early years were shaped by a quiet balance of art and discipline.
In a home where her maternal grandfather was deeply rooted in classical dance and music, creativity was never distant. At the same time, education carried equal weight, with both her parents becoming the first in their families to pursue higher studies.
Over time, that same journey would carry her beyond those beginnings, including a moment of global recognition as a runner-up at Mrs. Universe Canada.
Long before the spotlight found her, Manoshi was already navigating what it means to hold both.
