Asked about her preparations for the D-day, she said, "There is a sense of nervousness. There is always going to be nervousness because of the pressure."

"But we have to perform our best. I am looking forward to the day. I am keeping my fingers crossed. All I can do is try my best and the rest is really up to god," said the 22-year-old financial consultant-turned social worker from Gujarat, when asked about her chances of being crowned Miss World 2003.
