“The only word that comes to my mind to describe how I am feeling is unbelievable. To hear the name of my country ‘India’ on that platform (when the winner was being announced) was the feeling I would never be able to put in words. I cried and everyone around me cried. We waited for this day for 21 years and I could not believe that it was all actually happening.”

“I have always believed that if you want to conquer something, stay calm and humble. So that is something that I have always followed throughout and even during the pageant… I decided to give the best shot to everything that came my way, without thinking of the end result. Being a part of this pageant, this experience has also been a great learning experience for me and I can see a huge transformation. I am more confident now”
