I believe that nothing could stop women from reaching new heights and setting new milestones for themselves if one is truly passionate about it. Age is just a number, what counts is your efforts and your approach toward your goals. Many of the participating finalists and winners will go on to be recognized for some brilliant work in modeling, acting, theater, ramp shows, commercial advertisements, web-series, brand endorsements, music videos and much more. Congratulations to all the Winners, runners-up and finalists who have put in exceptional amount of hard work and presented themselves so beautifully at the Finale.

Every participant came with her own set of skills, and their charisma and confidence was really spectacular. It’s a myth that women cannot or must not focus on their careers after marriage. We saw a live example of all the finalists who performed on stage with the best of their abilities. All the participants broke several social stereotypes and proved themselves. I congratulate all the winners and participants.”
