Meenakshi Chaudhary on representing India at Miss Grand International 2018

First Runner-Up of Miss India 2018, Meenakshi Chaudhary is all geared up to represent India at Miss Grand International.

Getting ready to represent India at the international stage, the young winner who believes beauty is only relative, says "You have to own who you are. You are beautiful the way you are."

She further adds, "The day you realise that, there is no stopping you. Your inner feeling reflects outside."

Speaking on the gruelling session of preparing herself in her trial towards winning the crown, she quips, "The one thing people should know if you get into this industry is that you have to be sure about it. One has to have passion to succeed."

She further adds, "There will be a lot of struggles, ups and downs but passion and belief have to be the only constant in your life."

The youngster believes that the best way to go through life is by realising one's potential and believing in who one is. "There is no room for self doubt," she explains.

Maria Jose Lora, who is the winner of Miss Grand International 2017, too believes in the same and adds, "I exercise regularly, muay thai, yoga -- our lifestyle is very hectic, and my personality is same, hyper person, not a calm person. To survive one needs to tap into that inner peace. I start my day with motivational videos."

The winner goes on to add that eating clean and listening, reading to motivational work helps her deal with the stress the title or the industry brings.

Ask Chaudhary about representing India, she excitedly concludes, "This is an opportunity of the lifestyle. It is not just about me, it is about my country. I have to be the best version of myself."
