'Look for the beauty in others to find the beauty in yourself' — that's precisely what makes our queen, Manasa Varanasi, beautiful inside out.

"My social mission revolves around children, and the reason for the same is, even before Miss India, I used to volunteer with an NGO called 'Make a Difference.' Being there with the children gave me a lot of clarity in my own life; of course, I had my job, friends, and family, everything revolves around me, but with the children, I was able to see the world from a very different perspective because I was interacting with people whose realities were very different from mine," she asserted. Every weekend, Manasa would walk down to the shelter home in her neighborhood and teach subjects like math and English to the kids at the NGO, and that was indeed a life-changing experience. She aspired to do something more significant to help kids across our country who are abused, but she was still to find the right path, and that's when she decided to participate in pageants.

But before that there was some naach, gaana and revelry to welcome her home. Her sister Meghana and friends accompanied her home to the sound of dhol and showered her with rose petals. Manasa’s ammama Annapurna was equally excited to meet her granddaughter, cooking up her favourites and overseeing the floral and balloon arrangements being made at home. “I made everything she liked to eat growing up,” she says, shyly. Manasa’s parents Shailaja and Ravi Shankar too can’t stop beaming with pride about their child’s win. “I am so proud of her,” says her father emotionally, as her mom adds, “We’re an academically inclined family, and no one has ever ventured out to pageants.

It’s an emotional moment for me as she returns home, not just because she won, but because I’m not used to being away from her,” she says.
