|September - October 2025
The multitalented CHAHAT DALAL has played many roles in her life, and continues to be an inspiration. She delves into the details in a freewheeling chat with Kalwyna Rathod
Lifestyle influencer, entrepreneur, and pilot Chahat Dalal is a multi-hyphenate in the truest sense of the phrase. The multi pageant winner is also a deejay, emcee, etiquette and grooming expert, and philanthropist, as well as a strong advocate for women's empowerment and animal welfare.
Not surprisingly, her journey has been anything but conventional. "It all began in 2011 when I won my first pageant title and also earned the title of the youngest female pilot in the world at the time – two very different achievements, but both rooted in breaking boundaries."
Since 2019, Chahat has expanded her identity far beyond pageantry, becoming a certified grooming and etiquette expert, a trusted pageant mentor, and an emcee for high-profile events. Most recently, in 2025, she launched her podcast Let's Cha Cha – Chat with Chahat, a heartfelt space in which she brings together stories of courage, ambition, and authenticity. These roles gave her the opportunity to empower others while continuing to express herself through various platforms.
