Madhya Pradesh, India, September 19, 2025: Some journeys aren’t measured in years but in the depth of experiences, and Mamta Saxena’s life is a fine example. Known to many by her stage name Malhar, she is a businesswoman, a professional singer, a philanthropist, and now the proud titleholder of Mrs. Madhya Pradesh 2025. Her story is one of grace, grit, and the quiet courage to keep evolving.
Mamta’s path began early. At 18, with an MBA in Human Resources in hand, she stepped into the corporate world and quickly carved a niche for herself. Her career unfolded across multiple roles, eventually leading her into entrepreneurship. Today, she runs the Lotus Book Cafe and plays an active role in guiding her sister’s ventures — Kids Meadow School and Kavi Filling Station. Each step reflected not just ambition but a commitment to creating spaces of learning, community, and growth.
Yet, behind the professional titles and ventures was another passion that defined her — music. As Malhar, Mamta nurtured her love for singing with the same discipline she brought to business. Her voice, often compared to the legendary Asha Bhosle, carries both strength and sensitivity, turning every performance into a story.
At 50, she embraced a new chapter that many might only dream of. Crowned Mrs. Madhya Pradesh 2025, Mamta went on to represent her state at the VG Miss & Mrs. India Empress pageant in New Delhi. The theme, “Dream, Dare & Be the Queen,” mirrored her own journey — daring to pursue aspirations at any stage of life and proving that beauty with purpose is not bound by age.
Her preparation for the pageant began four months in advance, during which she committed herself to a complete transformation. She disciplined her diet, embraced regular gym and yoga sessions, cared for her skin, and focused on overall health. Determined to step out of her comfort zone, she even trained herself to walk gracefully in three-inch pencil heels despite having always worn flats. Alongside physical readiness, she refined her communication skills, which enabled her to face the interview and judges’ rounds with confidence, clarity, and poise.
Her achievements, however, are not limited to titles. A devoted practitioner of Nichiren Daishonin’s philosophy, Mamta lives by principles of determination and service. She actively supports charitable work, most recently through the Ray of Hope campaign, to support meaningful causes.
Through it all, Mamta has balanced her many roles with remarkable grace, as an entrepreneur, a singer, and a mother to her 23-year-old son. Her journey is not about choosing one path over another, but about showing that women can lead, create, nurture, and inspire all at once.
For those who know her, Mamta Saxena is more than her titles. She is a reminder that life’s second acts can be just as powerful as the first, and that courage, faith, and passion together can compose a story worth remembering.
She now opens her heart to new horizons, welcoming every opportunity that life has yet to offer. Sharp and unshakable like a lioness, she looks ahead with strength and grace, ready for what’s to come. To know more about her, visit: @mamta.saxena.1426 instagram
