I had the pleasure of meeting Ankita this year and what she is doing has left me in awe a few times. As a former Mrs India, she is now giving back to women of India creating a beauty pageant for married women. A lady truly beautiful both outside and inside I am proud to know and speak to her.

After competing in pageant, I have seen different version of mine. I am happy and enjoying the life with gratitude, I got more love and respect from people. I think my journey to winning the title has inspired many. I learned a lot from pageant and transformed myself. I have worked hard in preparing different rounds for the competition which has helped me to be more poised and confident. I am polished and now shining all over the world.

Mrs India International Queen is a pageant with a holistic approach to judge and bring out the best in you. It was not just about beauty that they were looking for, but presenting your talents, confidence, approach towards others and understanding how important it is to give back something meaningful to the society. I am able to carry myself in a very confident and elegant way. Having won the crown, I finally understood that it is not about physical appearance but the attitude you carry yourself with that matters the most.

I had a great learning experience during the pageant. It was held across 4 days with the last day for the press conference. Each day we were being trained to catwalk with different choreography sequences depending whether it was white wear, traditional wear or evening gown. Coming from a completely non-glamorous background catwalk was something I learnt during the pageant and I have even more respect for people belonging to the fashion industry now as what we see on TV or fashion shows requires an unimaginable amount of hard work in the background.

Winning Mrs India International Queen 2021 was the final affirmation of what I had always believed in. That I am beautiful, not only by my looks, but also in mind and spirit. Notwithstanding the fact that I have won the pageant, my very participation also did wonders to my self-belief, self-respect and my trust in all good things.

The journey of becoming the winner of Mrs India International Queen 2021 was a transformative learning experience. The pageant preparation developed in me the virtues of confidence, resilience, hard work, and self-discipline. I learned a lot from the enriching experiences of fellow contestants. Beauty and Wellness sessions, Ramp walk training, and Self-defence training sessions were indeed helpful and informative. The expertise and experiences of the previous year’s winners and the guidance of Mrs. Ankita Saroha, the director of the pageant, were very helpful. All the training has helped me to discover a newer and stronger self that led me to a glorious win. I understood that dreams aren’t easy to chase but require courage, conviction, and persistent effort.

It is a matter of great pride that I was the winner for Classic Mrs India International Queen 2020 and I received the honour. I was invited by different organizations and honoured. Mrs India International Queen has made me prouder and more confident. It has improved my personality and has made me more poised.
