Well, menstrual hygiene is a cause that is close to my heart.

Motherhood is the most beautiful thing that can happen to a woman.

Haryana has some beautiful places for film shoots.

I relate to 'Dangal' because of the way it presents the state's culture and how Haryanvi parents are. They might act strict, but will always motivate their children to do their best and will stand by them, always being emotionally connected to them.

Haryana has supported me throughout my journey. I have received immense love and support from here.

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.

My school trip to Jaipur was the most memorable one as I tried many things for the first time.

Trying mirchi vada was like an achievement for me as it's too spicy!

My studies and my journey to succeed in the glamour world will go simultaneously.

When I was in Class XI, I started preparing for medical college, and after that, the Miss India pageant.

I think more girls feel encouraged when women from their community do well. Especially in a place like Haryana, where people presume that women are looked down upon.

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.

Jokes about my surname aren't a big deal at all. In fact, that's what jokes are meant for - you laugh and then forget about it.

It's a good thing to get a break into the glamour industry.

I was always passionate about the Miss India pageant. Though I was a medical student, I never had a plan B. I dont want to regret anything in life, so it was really important for me to win this competition.

I feel that Miss India is a stepping stone for anything you want to do, not just Bollywood.

My personal favourite actress in Priyanka Chopra.

I would like to work in an Aamir Khan movie because these movies have a message in them.

I pray that in the future, no one knows the meaning of women empowerment because we don't need these words.

Women are equal to men.

Women are doing wonders as entrepreneurs.

As a Miss World, I will be able to understand people even better.

I am really happy that Miss World pageant takes keen interest in my projects.

One should say what he/she feels.

I strongly feel about women's rights because I have been working for menstrual hygiene across India.

I would like to do an action film, and in which I am doing the action. I don't want to be a damsel in distress. I want to be a superhero. I would love to do that.

In life, all things have come to me as a surprise and I didn't have any plans to do films. So let's see how it goes.

I have been to all continents of the world.

I think there is no set formula and there is no one path that can be taken to the crown as every one has their own way. Even when you look at past winners of Miss World, everyone was unique.

I do enjoy being in front of the camera and that is something new I have discovered.

I was not even a person who watched a lot of movies.

All mothers sacrifice so much for their kids. So, I think it is the job of a mother that deserves the highest salary.

My mother has always been the biggest inspiration in my life.

I love Virat Kohli, he has achieved a lot.

It is education which can liberate you and I believe girls should get the best education.

When you set an example, it helps other girls to dream.

The Miss World journey has been incredible.

Today Miss World is all about young women who bring about a global change.

Miss World is about coming together, taking the reigns and fighting for a cause.

I already have a pet project called Project Shakti and it aims on educating women on menstruation cycle.

It does not matter what others think, 'beauty' is just perception.

Being associated with Malabar Gold has been wonderful, a relationship which is close to my heart with moments that are special to every Indian.

I am a proud Indian, it's the land of celebration with all the festivals, vibrance and, most importantly, emotions. That is what I took to Miss World!

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.

We will face a lot of limitations and sometimes we do feel that it is not a very woman-friendly society but as individuals, we should just set an example and make women feel confident that you can do amazing things as well.

Even as a Miss World, you have to roleplay sometimes. When you look at some people, you feel like breaking down but you've to smile and spread happiness. So of course, I know I am a good actor.

As Miss World, you are a face for beauty with a purpose. You can't just be beautiful. You have to have the zeal and courage to pursue the purpose.

My parents have a great role in inculcating values in me.

Bhagavd Gita is a major source of inspiration for me and the spiritual text has a special role in my life.

My parents have always encouraged me to follow my dreams and do what makes me happy.
