All of 22, her interests lie in fitness activities, athletics, dancing and cooking So did she dream about beauty pageant since start? "I am from a Gujarati family so modelling is not quite very usual. I am the first girl from family to do this. Besides that, it was really difficult for me to be here because I lost my mother when I was 13 and convincing my father has been really difficult for me. But now since I have been here, he is quite convinced and proud about that," she said. Talking about her inspiration, she said: "Each and every representative that we had in all these years have been an inspiration because they had an edge over every other women but I would say that my mentor Lara Dutta has been the greatest inspiration." "It's been 18 years India hasn't been crowned Miss Universe so I am really looking forward to be the one," she added.
