A young talented poet and influencer from Udaipur, Sarrah Alamshah has won 16 awards, performed on 19+ stages, and completed 41 business promotions. She won the First Prize in GAIL India’s Hawa Badlo competition and has performed at prestigious poetry events like Udaipur Tales and Lafzon Ki Mehfil. Her poetry has been broadcast on Akashvani, and she actively inspires the youth to pursue their passions alongside academics.
The Initiation
A skilled poet and influencer, Sarrah Alamshah has been passionately writing for the past three years. Her path as a poet began in fourth grade when she wrote her first poem about the rain. At the age of just ten, she discovered her love for poetry and decided to make it her hobby. In May 2021, she launched her Instagram account, where she regularly shares her heartfelt poems, captivating audiences with her words.
Gurus & Role Models
Influencer Sarrah's biggest inspiration is her mother, who has loved poetry and sher-o-shayari since childhood. Her mother once dreamed of performing on stage, but due to a lack of support and encouragement at the right time, she couldn't pursue it. Determined that Sarrah wouldn’t face the same limitations, her mother motivated her to create an Instagram account where she could share her poetry with the world. This platform not only allowed Sarrah to showcase her talent but also inspired countless others through her words. Sarrah never learned poetry from anyone because she believes that poetry isn’t something that can be taught—it comes from within. She herself didn’t realize her talent until she started writing. She believes that every person has a hidden talent that doesn’t need to be learned; it simply reveals itself over time. According to her, one just needs to explore their inner self, and if a talent exists, it will naturally shine through. All it takes is the right inspiration to bring it to life.
The Talent
Poet Sarrah shares that while she writes poems on various topics, she is particularly passionate about motivational poetry. She also addresses important social issues through her poetry, including women empowerment, girl child education, rape cases, water pollution, air pollution, and more. As an influencer, she aims to inspire and raise awareness among the youth, encouraging them to reflect on these critical issues and contribute to positive change in society.
