I froze my eggs at the beginning of the month,” Mehta wrote.

A Month of Wins: Personal and Professional

Mehta, who founded the popular platform Humans of Bombay in 2014, reflected on her experiences during the first month of 2025. In her post, she described the month as a blend of personal victories and professional accomplishments. “The first month of the year, and what a well-diversified portfolio it’s been. Some personal wins, some professional. Some bucket list items ticked off, the way for others being paved. 2025 has been swell guys,” Mehta shared with her audience. She continued, “Been meaning to do this for a while and finally got around to it. I froze my eggs at the beginning of the month.” Her post was accompanied by a picture of her holding hands with someone while lying on a bed.

Glimpses of Her Personal Life and Career Achievements

Mehta also shared a few highlights from her personal and professional life in her post. Among the notable moments, she shared a picture with actor Abhay Deol from her first-ever advertisement shoot and reminisced about attending the Coldplay concert. Additionally, she celebrated the 11th anniversary of Humans of Bombay and marked the completion of a LinkedIn masterclass.

Another proud moment for Mehta was raising ₹20 lakh for a rape victim, a cause she supported through her platform. "January, you’ve been special. And I hope it has been for you too. Tell me, what’s something special that’s happened to you this month?” she concluded her post, engaging her audience.

Social Media Reaction and Support

The post received an overwhelming response from her followers, with many expressing their admiration and congratulatory messages. "Woowowow now that’s what is called a kick a** start to the year," commented one follower, while another added, “You are such an awesome inspiration!” A third follower praised her, saying, “Phenomenal! It’s so inspiring as well as so commendable with all the hard work you put in, and it shows in this way.”

Mehta’s Stand on Cruelty-Free Fashion

Earlier this month, Mehta made headlines again when she announced that she would be parting ways with her luxury leather goods. A staunch vegetarian, she explained her decision to adopt a cruelty-free approach to fashion. “As a vegetarian, I won’t eat meat because it doesn’t sit right with me to consume a living being. How then can it sit well with me to partake in a market that prides itself on being ‘luxury’ by levying their premium-ness on the quality of animal being skinned?” she explained in her post.

Mehta went on to announce that she would be selling her luxury leather items, with the proceeds going towards animal welfare NGOs. “As I have arrived at the decision to not only stop the purchase of leather of any kind, it guts to me use the leather that I may have already purchased. In the weeks to come, I will begin a sale of all my leather items—the proceeds of which will go towards animal welfare NGOs,” she added.

Through her milestones and advocacy, Karishma Mehta continues to inspire her followers with her personal growth and commitment to important causes.
