Now that is a true definition of ‘Beauty with Purpose’ isn’t it?
When spoken to Alesia Raut, who is the official ramp walk trainer in Miss Femina and Miss India Universe pageants, who trained Chhillar, all she has is praises for her!
I'm actually speechless- I feel like it's a return gift to me, she says.
Manushi was the one who was always very calm and composed. Whatever was going within her, whatever volcanoes were going on within her- she never showed it to us.
She always had this pleasant smile on her face. We just had to work on her energy- getting the energy while she was walking- she managed to achieve that on the final day.

Manushi made it to Top 5 and was asked; ‘ Which profession deserves the highest salary?’, to which her answer stole the crowd!

I think a mother is of highest respect. I don't think it's just about cash but love and respect she gives to someone. She is the biggest inspiration in my life. Mother should get the highest respect.

At the age of 20, Manushi Chhillar has managed to make her mark in the world as she makes the nation roar in pride! It is yet to see whether she bounces back to study or maybe desires to try her hand in Bollywood just as the prior crown holders; Aishwarya Rai and Priyanka Chopra had.
