Exerpts from her July, 2017 interview:
A. Miss India was always there. I have always wanted to influence others’ lives and leave a positive impact. The knowledge gained from medicine and the title will help me contribute more.
A. I was always inclined towards fashion and appearance. I loved playing dress-up with my elder sister!
A. They have always supported me in whatever I have shown interest in. They encouraged me throughout the pageant and have always believed in me.
A. I was a blank slate. All I knew was how to speak. I learnt the walk, makeup, researched on the pageant and worked on my body. I would wake up early for a workout and cook my own food to keep a healthy diet. I also gained experience by doing print shoots, but I have always been comfortable in front of the camera.
A. Dr. Reita Faria, the first Asian to win Miss World, has been my inspiration.
A. They are all celebrating my victory. They want to see me win Miss World now and are willing to help me in every possible way.
A. My focus is entirely on Miss World, after which I plan to complete my education. But I am always open to opportunities because you never know what surprise life might offer you.
A. Aamir Khan. His movies have a meaning and they touch the nerve of society. His roles are also very different and interesting.
A. I would like to tell them that be confident about themselves, and believe in the selves they are. Discover your purpose and pursue it irrespective of challenges.
