Even when I was Miss World, I did all the dressing up I could, so the pretty face thing was done. But it was never about just looking pretty with the crown, I always wanted to make it more than that - I wanted to make it about beauty with a purpose. So I carried that into my films as well.

I have always been a person who is extremely comfortable in my skin. I have always just been myself in all these years on the public platform.

I'm not the type who'll yell about my achievements from the rooftops.

Elegance is innate...individual...eternal...it stands the test of time!

I'm just an average woman with average concerns.

The more you are blessed with experience, the fuller and the more enriched you are in your craft.

No one is perfect and everyone is different, but everyone one is beautiful in their own way and that's what makes us special.For me, it went beyond being a beauty queen. For me, it was about being the 20-year-old girl from India on international platform and a lot of people actually would assume that I wasn`t even educated in India because of the way I'd speak.
