Manasvi also revealed that she was quite nervous throughout the event as her name was announced last every time but it’s nice to know that she managed to win.
“Don't know if anyone noticed, but every time they were announcing the winners, my name was the last to be announced. So it used to be a complete roller coaster ride for me. Every time I thot ab gai ab gai.. but God saved me!” said the 22-year-old.

So, what's on your mind right now, in this winning moment?
I just want to sit back and cherish the moment. I have created history. Now I want to enjoy just that. And of course I want to hug my mom. She’s super happy and proud. I have only her and God to thank today.
From top 18 to 10 to 5 and finally to winning... how were the thoughts moving?
Don't know if anyone noticed, but every time they were announcing the winners, my name was the last to be announced. So it used to be a complete roller coaster ride for me. Every time I thot ab gai ab gai.. but God saved me!
When did you weave the dream to stand where you are today?
It all began the day I saw the blue crown on intact on Aishwarya Rai's head. So, you can say when other girls were dreaming to become Miss India, my eyes were still set on that blue crown of Miss World. And this victory is a part of the other big journey.
So is Aishwarya Rai Bachchan your inspiration?
Well, to be honest, I don't find inspiration in a single person. I seek for things to learn from anybody and everybody I see around me in my everyday life. I keep embracing good things from wherever I can.
What will be your message to all those girls who want to be where you are today?
Believe in yourself and go ahead!
