When I went to the next day and filled the form, I was told ‘Hey you are very brave, 25 girls have removed their names, because this year Aishwarya Rai has given her name, I immediately withdrew my name. After this my mother did not talk to me for two and a half days, she told me a lot. He said if you think that it is your competition then go and beat them. After that I went and I filled that form and that one decision changed my life and I give full credit to my mother. I am very thankful to him’.
