well Beauty is subjective and can be found in many different forms. It's in the eye of the beholder, as they say. . In my personal opinion, you are truly beautiful when u fix the people around you instead of tearing them down . You are a true beauty queen when you are kind because there is already a lot of unkindness in the world . True beauty goes beyond physical appearance.

• What bothers you most about what is happening in the country today ?

One of the most bothering issues in India today is the persistence of social inequalities, including caste-based discrimination, gender inequality, and economic disparities. Despite progress in various areas, these issues continue to affect millions of people, hindering their access to opportunities and basic rights. Additionally, incidents of violence, religious intolerance, and political polarization also pose significant challenges to the country's social fabric and unity. N last but definitely not the least crime against women namely rapes , not giving them equal opportunities at several places bothers me a lot . Addressing these issues requires concerted efforts from both the government and civil society to promote inclusivity, justice, and equal opportunities for all citizens.
