The pageant consists of four segments - evening gown, Indian dress, talent and question-answer. The winners of all the various national pageants from all over the world vie for the title of Miss India Worldwide. This time the Bollywood Film Festival and Indian Culinary week were held simultaneously.

Nine girls representing the length 'n' breath of the country were judged by an elite panel of judges that comprised of Sandeep Soparkar- International Choreographer, Anjali Gupta- Actress, Tehseen Poonawala- Political analyst and Socialite Ms. Gioconda- International opera singer and Dr. Anuj Saxena- National Director for Miss India Worldwide, and CEO of Maverick Productions.
"Rejection is the next step to success, impossible is what you think, and possible is what you desire," were her motivational words.
The most challenging phase she went through was at the competition. The crew and other members would demotivate her every day with unnecessary laughs, negative comments, and insult her in front of other contestants. Many unusual activities would come into action just to pull her down. Yes, her self-esteem did lower down. She says, "The very second day I thought of running away, but then I decided to fight. Out of grudge and anger, I gave my 100%."
She is an Ayurvedic doctor by profession as she has completed her BAMS from Bharti Vidhyapeeth University. Currently she is pursuing Masters in Hospital Management from Indian Institute of Health Management Research, Jaipur. And, she just wants to take every step towards her growth and shine like the crown on her head.
