Why have you participated in Mrs India International Queen?

I enjoy connecting with people to understand their perspectives and approach toward life. If I win this title based on my talent and knowledge, I will feel truly grateful and thank God for the opportunity.

If I am crowned Mrs India International Queen, I will actively work toward creating change in women’s safety and legal reforms, especially because I have a daughter. As a mother, I feel deeply concerned about the rising cases of rape and sexual assault in our country, and I am committed to contributing towards a safer environment for every girl child.

I believe that all genders are equal, and above all, humanity must prevail. As a doctor, equality remains the core of my approach to life and service.
