Challenges faced during Miss Universe journey.
"The challenges are definitely going to be there as no success path is easy. We have only 45 days to prepare and we are not leaving any stones unturned,” adding, “It’s definitely a roller coaster ride but I’m ready for it as vision, hard work and goals are what create a winner.”
On climate change
"Honestly, my heart breaks to see how nature is going through a lot of problems, and it's all due to our irresponsible behavior. This is the time to take actions and talk less, because each action could either kill or save nature. Prevent and protect is better than repent and repair, and this is what I'm trying to convince you guys today."
On choosing characters
"I always choose strong characters because I want to break stereotypes of what women are and what they can be."
On Mental Health
"The stigma associated with mental health refrains the affected individuals to seek help from professionals, which in turn leads to more serious complications including suicidal tendencies. I realised that it is imperative to focus on mental health when I myself had to face adversities during the phase of my hospitalisation. I realized that mental health is intrinsically linked to physical health and that together, we can break the stigmas and help people realise the purpose of their existence to extract the best of their potential. I have been advocating about this issue in my circle of influence that distress and depression should not be a barrier to our growth, and letting go of it can lead us on the path towards our dreams.”, she said in an
interview.
