For Manasa Varanasi, who was crowned Miss India World 2020 at a glittering ceremony in Mumbai a couple of days ago, the announcement of the winner’s name is still echoing in her ears.
Did she expect to win, we ask the ecstatic girl who hails from Hyderabad, Telangana. “In a way, I expected to win and also to lose,” she says. Stressing that she was hopeful and confident in her abilities and preparation, she points out that “Winning is out of one’s hands — destiny, luck, the competition — they all have a say. The nerve-wracking thing about a contest such as this is that everything can change in an instant. So, while I am very proud of my achievement, I am also humbled and grateful that the stars aligned for me.”
