World Class Beauty Queens: What are some of your achievements?
I feel that I am yet to achieve many things in life. My biggest achievement is that I have faced all the odds in life with courage and patience. To enumerate some of the achievements:
• Iam making a documentary cum fiction movie titled “ Visharda” It is will show the journey and challenges of an autistic child and parents of special needs kids.
• I am the first Indian woman to write a very comprehensive text book on “Behavior Finance” published by reputed Sage publishers

• I have launched initiative “Samvednayein” which has three pronged focus: Awareness, Acceptance and rehabilitation of children who are on Autism Spectrum disorder.
• I am a role model for the parents of all special children. If I can participate in a pageant and be successful. Such parents who are living their life in seclusion need to come out of their shell.
• My biggest achievement is when God gave me strength and presence of mind to save my family from massive outburst of fire on 13/1/21 from sixth floor of our apartments through a broken ladder. We have practically lost everything in fire.
World Class Beauty Queens: What makes you stand out from all those other beautiful girls?
I am an academician and this really made me stand out. My strengths were my communication skills, Onstage presence and confidence, rich education background, agility and capability to grasp new things. My well articulated introduction and quick-witted answers really made the difference. Moreover, I am passionate about the cause of Autism spectrum disorder and really working for it unlike many girls who fake the causes they support and do nothing about it.
World Class Beauty Queens: Tell us about the moment your name was called out as the winner.
The moment was very beautiful and a memory to be cherished throughout the life. Mrs Grand Prix world 2022 is a very prestigious title and will help me in promoting my platform in a big way.
World Class Beauty Queens: What does it mean to you to be a Beauty Queen?
A real Beauty Queen is one who never loses, she either wins or learns. Her beauty is the illumination of her soul. As a Beauty Queen I always remember what APJ Abdul Kalam said, I am not handsome But I can give my hand to someone who needs help because beauty is required in heart not in face.
World Class Beauty Queens: How did competing in pageants helped your life?
Pageants have made me more confident. They have given me an opportunity to unleash my potential to the maximum and bring my true self in front of the world.
World Class Beauty Queens: How did pageants helped your selfesteem and body image?
The pageants gave big boost to my self esteem. They helped me to earn lot of respect in the society and increased my confidence manifolds. They have empowered me to work more strongly for the cause I support. I have now become more health conscious and have learnt to carry myself in a much better way.
World Class Beauty Queens: You are an inspiration to all the girls out there. How does it feel?
I really hold lot of responsibility because I am a Professor who is also a crown winner. All students especially girls look upon me as a role model. Therefore, I need to perform all my duties with utmost sincerity and dedication. I will carry glory and honour associated with crown with integrity. My message to the girls out there “The best view comes after the hardest climb”. So never give up until you succeed.
World Class Beauty Queens: What is your on-stage strategy to win the judges over?
I was very focused right from the first day. I completed all task assigned with utmost sincerity and dedication. Winners focus on winning while losers focus on winners. My optimism and ability to go beyond unsurmountable barriers of self apprehension, self doubt and never to give up attitude helped me to make a mark. United Nations Pageants is a pageant system that needs candidates to be honest and dedicated to their platform.
World Class Beauty Queens: How did you prepare for your competition?
My performance in the talent round was contemporary dance form based on theme of Autism Spectrum Disorder. I put my heart and soul into it. I prepared my dress for National costume round to represent my country India. I am also prepared for High fashion round and evening gown round. I tried my level best to promote my platform through the title have been appointed and worked for autistics children and special children amidst pandemic also.
World Class Beauty Queens: What are your tips for learning better pageant walk?
I think only key to success is practice. The more you practice, the better you will get at pageant walk. It is equally important to rehearse poses, turns along with the walk.
World Class Beauty Queens: What are your tips for choosing right pageant dress?
To me, clothing is a form of self expression-There are hints and cues about what you are in what you wear. Therefore, always choose a dress that complements your body type and enhances your personality. Choose a dress which is comfortable, elegant and beautiful and aligns with your individuality.
World Class Beauty Queens: What are your tips for winning interview?
The best way is to rehearse answers for commonly asked interview questions in front of mirror. The answers should be honest and reflection of your personality. Don’t try to fake and boast in front of judges. A true pageant judge will be able to assess your true potential in few minutes and no camouflaging will help. Most importantly, if you don’t see yourself as a winner, then you cannot perform as a winner. So, have that winning attitude.
World Class Beauty Queens: What is one mistake that you've done during competing you wish you could redo and fix it?
I am very happy and satisfied with my performance at the pageant but If I can redo or fix one thing, it could be more practice in taking turns while walking on the ramp.
World Class Beauty Queens: What other mistakes are made by girls during the contest?
I think in the process of trying to imitate others, one loses her individuality. Resorting to fake stories, excuses to gain sympathy of judges before the different rounds was another one of the common mistakes. Comparing yourself to others was also a common mistake. One should believe in yourself.

Apart from this I have couple of modelling assignments in hand which I think is going to give a big boost to my career in the glamour world. I am part of a movie which is in pipeline. The movie is based on the untold story of a special child. The inspiration of the movie has been drawn from my daughter “ “Visharda”
World Class Beauty Queens: What kind of legacy do you want to leave behind?
I want to be remembered as a person with pure and loving heart. It is said that the best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched – they must be felt with the heart. The biggest achievement is to be remembered as good human being. People will forget what you did, People will forget what you said but they will never forget how you made them feel. Therefore, always emphasize with others as we never know what kind of battle someone is fighting.
