ing the beauty pageant back after 21
years, on Monday, has spoken about
her experience of winning the title,
her future plans and much more.

home the title, in an exclusive in-
terview revealed what she felt in the
moment her name was announced
on stage. “I cried because finally after

emotions that I had to get it out and I
couldn’t stop myself,” she said.

what helped her in achieving this re-

calm and centred and that’s the key
to success according to me”
