 The competition was toughHow do you feel about being crowned Miss Asia-Pacific?
I am not merely happy, but very, very happy. In fact, I am also gripped by a strong sense of satisfaction. The satisfaction strongly comes from the fact that I have scored a hat trick for India. My victory means a lot to me.
What made it possible for you to win?
Several factors were responsible for my winning. The competition was tough. There were 12 finalists. Miss Panama was a particularly tough contender. But I had already won some of the sub-contests. I think the balance was finally tilted in the Q & A session.
What was the question which proved to be decisive?
It was `What are three most important values which matter to me?´ and my reply was `Love, Honesty and Friendship.´ There were a large number of Indians in the audience and they rooted for me.
Do you think the cheers from Indians provided a supportive ambience?
When the contest started there was not much of noise (from the Indians). But when the Q & A session began, the audience started cheering me with enthusiasm because of the poise, confidence and intelligence with which I gave the answers.
Do you think that Indian participants have a distinct advantage in that they are good at English?
Most definitely yes. It is a major plus point. We are articulate and aware.
Why do you think Indian girls are constantly winning international beauty contests?
We get excellent training back home and lot of effort goes into it. Apart from that we are a naturally beautiful people with a strong sense of values.
Who is your ideal?
My mother who was the first person I called up after being crowned. She is everything to me. She has given me values, ethics and a complete personality. She has performed her duties most respectfully. She is a very contended person and has not let the pressures of life meddle with her strong sense of values. I adore her.
Do you have a boy friend?
(Laughs) No. But now a lot of them will queue up. I am a very finicky person. My concept of Mr Right is somebody who is essentially honest, loving and self-reliant.
Who prompted you to enter the contest?
A month before the Femina Miss Asia-Pacific contest, I received an invitation from The Times of India office in Bangalore to take part in the contest. I had done a spot of modelling and this included the Emami ads. I spoke to my mother about the offer from TOI and jumped headlong.
Do you plan to get involved in any social welfare project?
I am already involved in Hyderabad in a campaign to integrate handicapped children with able ones in schools. The idea is to help mutual understanding and generate better social awareness of handicapped persons.
