In a world where we are required to wear many hats, this Bahrain-born resident of Dubai showcases human potential in as many ways as possible. Dr. Nisha V. Rohira is an Endodontist, who coincidentally has used the magic of her pearly whites i.e., smile, to shine in front of the camera in the past. She also holds the highest unofficial working title as the mother of twin boys.

Yet, in all of life’s hustles, she’s able to nurture her passion for cars, leading her to the driver’s seat of the racy Maserati GranTurismo Sport. Here’s a glimpse into her wonderfully manic life:

When did you move to Dubai and what do you like most about this city?

I was born and raised in Bahrain, but Dubai has been my home since 2011. While I love Dubai for many reasons, what stands out for me personally is that this country embraces people from every corner of the world regardless of their ethnicity, culture, or beliefs. It is the best example of how so many of us with such diverse backgrounds can live in peace and harmony.

What do you do for work and how do you spend your days?

I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Dental Surgery and a Master’s in Conservative Dentistry and Endodontics. My professional career has cut across dental practice, academics, medical revenue management, clinical informatics, and medical business development. I have now shifted lanes to fully dedicate myself to raise my twin boys. I am also a trained dance artist, a model — on print and runway — and have also been a TV host.

On most days, its an early start thanks to my kids' school, followed by my fitness routine (weight training/ zumba/ yoga/ pilates), then I run errands, manage our home and kids' ECAs, and more.

What kind of car-related activities do you enjoy?
