Early Life and Struggles

Aviva’s early life was marked by glamour with a touch of grounding. She was born into fame and glamor that her parents anchored – but mostly her father. However,  this soon cracked after she had to navigate life via her parents’ 1999 divorce, wherein she had to move to England with her mother and brother, Adam. 

However, when she returned to Bengaluru, she thrived despite the personal and emotional upheaval, but Aviva credits her mother. Struggles, however, came naturally as Aviva had to balance family expectations and personal dreams. At 17, she was already facing criticism in the Bollywood industry for being a ‘nepo kid,’ but when she won ‘Miss India’ in 2002, things seemed to quieten down.

Post the divorce, Judith had to raise herself single-handedly, thus instilling independence and a sense of responsibility from an early age. Aviva grew up with a brother named Adam, who is a professional model.
