I have an ocean of opportunities awaiting me and once I am back from Miss World, I want to explore whatever life has to offer.
I lived the journey of Miss India for one month with beautiful girls from 29 other states from across the country, and then lived another month-long journey with girls from 120 countries for Miss World.
Haryana has some beautiful places for film shoots.
The relationship between a mother and child is more than just give and take; it is magical.
All Indian women have one thing in common... we don't feel prosecuted for who we are and actually face our challenges head-on. And I think that's what we need to do, we need to be confident about who we are.
I told my parents that I wanted to work on menstrual hygiene because I believe a girl can achieve everything if she is healthy.
My project for menstrual hygiene is about empowering girls.
Health and hygiene are a basic personal need for all.
I realised that being a mother is similar to being an entrepreneur. You set up a system that is your family and you invest... you take risks and you actually have the most important job of rearing up the future of not just your family or an individual, but of the entire world. That is a tough and risky job.
I was a physics topper in my school and used to encourage my juniors.
People associate pageants with glamour, where there are celebrities walking on the ramp wearing beautiful gowns, heels and make-up - but that's just one aspect.
When I took admission in a medical college, I found that apart from the lack of education, what stopped girls from menstrual management was a limited access to sanitary pads.
The use of sanitary pads and the dos and don'ts should be discussed with openness so as to make a hygienic and healthy life for the women.
I feel that Miss India is a stepping stone for anything you want to do, not just Bollywood.
After becoming Miss World, I now have some idea of what goes on behind the camera, and that filmmaking is a tedious and time-consuming process.
Get up every morning, tell yourself you are beautiful and gear up to win!
