Mesh Rashi, or Aries, starting from 21st March and extending till 20th April, is considered to be the “head” of the zodiac. After all, it is the first of the 12 recognised rashi phals. Hence, their personality usually exudes the aura of being the leader of the pack. Contradictorily, they are also referred to as the “baby” of the pack, since they are the first born among all the other zodiacs.
This Fire element is the sign of Ram and is ruled by Mars, the planet of aggression. Like their spirit animal (Ram), those belonging to this rashi are very determined, strong-willed and confident of themselves. In one word, they are a go-getter! Other prominent traits include honest, competitive nature, optimistic, and passionate and courageous in whatever they set their sight on to #BeALittleMore.
Without further ado, let’s get started with 7 Indian woman celebs from the Mesh Rashi who are a force to reckon with in the fields that they have chosen for themselves.
