3) Can you share a behind-the-scenes moment that was special or emotional for you?
One moment that will always stay close to my heart is the love and support I received from my family. Whenever I felt low or uncertain, they were always there to lift me up. The most emotional moment came just before the finale, when my parents and brother texted me, “We’re on our way to take home Miss Uttarakhand.” That message gave me strength, reminded me that I wasn’t alone, and filled me with a sense of belief only family can give.
4) How has the Miss Uttarakhand 2025 journey helped you grow as a person?
This journey gave me the kind of exposure I had always dreamed of. I met so many inspiring and vibrant individuals, each of whom left an impression on me. But more than anything, it helped me become comfortable in my own skin. I’ve learned to own the stage, embrace my individuality, and let my light shine through. That kind of growth is something I’ll carry with me forever.
5) Was there a particular round or task you found most challenging?
I wouldn’t call it challenging, but the talent round was definitely the most memorable. It wasn’t tough in the traditional sense. It was competitive because everyone brought such unique and heartfelt performances to the stage. Watching each contestant express themselves so passionately reminded me how beautiful individuality can be. It was inspiring and easily one of the rounds I enjoyed the most.

I believe every pageant contestant should have a presence that not only captures attention but also invites people to listen. Her personality should speak volumes beyond her appearance. She should bring something meaningful to the stage while inspiring others to take that first step toward their own dreams. Confidence, purpose, and authenticity are essential.
7) Who has inspired you the most during your preparation, and why?
My mother has been my greatest source of inspiration. Watching her balance her professional responsibilities with her role in our family has shown me what real strength looks like. She taught me that it’s possible to follow your dreams without neglecting your commitments. Her resilience and constant encouragement kept me grounded and motivated throughout this journey.
8) What would you say was your biggest takeaway from this experience?
The biggest takeaway for me from Miss Uttarakhand Pageant has been learning the importance of embracing my true self. Growth happens when you step outside your comfort zone. This experience gave me a deeper understanding of inner strength and taught me to pursue my dreams with courage and conviction.
