On being asked how does she feel on being crowned as the winner of the 6th edition, she replied, ”It was for the first time, I participated in a beauty pageant at national level and I feel it was the best decision! More than a beauty pageant it was like a training for me! I had got very emotional at first when I was told I made it to the Top 3 as it was very unexpected and couldn’t stop smiling when my name was announced as the First runner up. Reaching here in such a short period of time itself is a big achievement not only for me but for my parents too who have been my pillars throughout. Thanks to all the TGPC mentors for the constant guidance and the feedback! The journey has just begun , and yes , keeping the feedbacks in mind, I will continue working on every aspect and won’t stop, because I believe in moving a step ahead by taking the learning of the previous journey. TGPC opened opportunities for me and I got to learn so much from them. It truly changed me and my life for the good! With dedication in heart as well as mind, and the will to do more, I will surely make TGPC proud!”
