“I participated in Raj Suri’s Miss India Australia 2022 because I believe it’s the perfect platform for young women like myself to showcase the cultural amalgamation of two beautiful countries that we call home – India and Australia. The platform allows strong, independent, young women to empower others and the future generations to come whilst expressing themselves through various forms of art. Unlike the traditional way of thinking, I want to emphasise that women can be both beautiful and intelligent and not one way or the other, and further encourage them to be brave and courageous to step outside the boundaries to follow their dreams. The audition experience with Raj Suri was truly an invaluable experience as it allowed me to express my passion, desires, and love for dancing to a mentor, who aims to present Indian Australian women in the most authentic way.
