After winning the zonal crown, Femina Miss India South 2013, she was given an automatic entry in the top 23 of the Femina Miss India pageant 2013. Which the actress went on to win at the age of 21. However, in an interview with a leading news channel, the actress discussed how the pageant made her insecure and made her question her self-worth, “Earlier, I would never focus on how I looked because I thought I was just ‘ok’. So my focus was on being well-read, good in studies, school captain. My personality depended on what I read, not on some magical genetic thing. In Miss India, so much was about how you looked. These are the things I judged as a child. So I felt cornered because I was doing the same things. I didn’t feel good in my heart,” she confessed.
