From Bollywood Dreams to Bhagavad Gita: Embracing Chaos and Purpose | Nikita Tyagi | TEDxSGGSCC
What if the universe really does conspire to help you, not just in movies but in real life? In this heartfelt TED Talk, Nikita Tyagi- also known as Spiritual Nikita- invites you on a journey from the iconic magic of Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge to the profound wisdom of the Bhagavad Gita. Sharing her own story of missed disasters, lost direction, and rediscovered purpose, Nikita explores how coincidences, failures, and even chaos can lead us to our true calling. With humour, honesty, and a touch of philosophy, she shows how opening yourself to life’s uncertainties can transform fear into action and ordinary moments into miracles. If you’re searching for a sign to start, to try, or to believe again-this is it. Nikita Tyagi is a seasoned content creator and storyteller, known for making ancient wisdom accessible in the modern world. With over nine years of experience crafting compelling narratives for leading brands at Cheil India (Samsung group), she brings a unique blend of creativity and clarity to every project.
