“I grew up seeing my dad being an honest journalist and I always wanted to be that kind of a professional. I feel real stories come when you have empathy towards the people you interact with and maintain cordial relations with your sources, which go beyond a story. I strongly believe in earning relations alongside bylines and that’s been my mantra so far. I’m grateful that the jury of ‘Aaj Ka Karmveer Award 2021’ found me deserving of this title. This award motivates me to continue on my path with more enthusiasm,” says Soumya, who also teaches journalism to post graduate students in reputed Mumbai colleges.
