This is such an iconic moment and the moment that I've worked for for over three years now. And I'm so incredibly happy that I get to bring home this crown to my Kerala, to be able to show my hometown to the world, to be able to carry it to the Universe." She said, "My first plan is to bring home the crown of Miss Universe to India, and that will always be my biggest plan in life.
