Beyond the pageant stage, Sadhvi is known for her wide range of interests including photography, sketching, badminton, beekeeping, and even taxidermy. She describes herself as “selectively social,” valuing solitude, nature, and meaningful connections. Growing up in a close-knit environment in Goa, she developed a strong emotional bond with rural communities, which she now aims to represent on bigger platforms.
One of her most ambitious goals is to establish a university focused on financial literacy, life skills, spirituality, and creativity. She believes education should bridge the gap between academics and real-world responsibilities, especially in areas like money management and adulting skills.
