How do you look back at this entire journey? Did you believe you could win from the beginning?

Avni Gupta: When I started this journey, I knew that if I was stepping in, I would give my best to win. Everyone begins with that mindset. Representing India on an international platform has been my childhood dream. Winning Miss Supranational and earning the opportunity to compete globally fills me with pride. I will do everything in my power to make India proud.

Avani Kakekochh: I didn’t have specific expectations. My only goal was to give my best every single moment—how I speak, how I walk, how I present myself. Living in the present became my strength. I have been on stage since the age of three, and dance is my identity. I’ve performed with some of the most respected personalities and also at global platforms like the G20 Summit. I run my own dance academy, and all these experiences shaped the person I am today.

What was the feeling like when the crown was placed on your head?

Avni Gupta: It was incredibly special. Being selected from thousands of online registrations, making it to the top 20 in Mumbai, and then reaching the top 2—it’s a huge achievement. But with the crown comes responsibility. Now, we represent not just ourselves, but thousands of young girls who dream of standing where we are today.

How did your parents react when you won?

Avani Kakekochh: My father came from Bengaluru, and my younger brother, who is an IITian, was also present at the finale. Seeing tears of pride in their eyes made me feel that all my hard work was worth it. Making your parents proud is one of the biggest responsibilities in life.

Avni Gupta: My parents were present at the finale, too. My mother’s reaction went viral on social media. When I watched that video, I truly realized how proud I had made her. My entire family—from Agra to Delhi—was overjoyed.

What question were you asked during the finale, and how did you answer it?

Avani Kakekochh: I was asked, “What is a beautiful life?” I answered that beauty is all about impact. People may forget your face, but they will never forget your behavior and the impression you leave behind. My students performed even in my absence—that, to me, is real beauty.

Avni Gupta: I was asked about the biggest problem women face in India. I said lack of education. Even today, in many places, girls are forced into marriage before completing their education. As responsible citizens, we must raise our voices whenever we see something wrong.

If given a chance to bring change to your city, what would you focus on first and why?

Avni Gupta: I want girls in Agra to never be deprived of education. I want to lead by example—if I can do it, so can they.

Avani Kakekochh: I want to work on traffic management and public transport. I’m already associated with futuristic mobility projects like air taxis. Our time should be spent on creativity, not stuck in traffic.

Do you see yourself pursuing acting or a career in cinema in the future?

Avni Gupta: I genuinely enjoy being in front of the camera. Modeling allows me to express myself, and that excites me. If meaningful opportunities in modeling or acting come my way, I would love to explore them and grow further in this field.

Avani Kakekochh: Right now, my complete focus is on winning the international crown. However, if I later receive a strong and challenging opportunity in Bollywood or South Indian cinema, I would definitely consider it and test my talent on a new platform.

Who are your favorite artists, and what inspires you about them?

Avani Kakekochh: I am deeply inspired by Priyanka Chopra’s confidence and global outlook. I admire the storytelling depth of Rishab Shetty and the dedication, versatility, and adaptability of Vicky Kaushal.

Avni Gupta: Shah Rukh Khan has always been an inspiration for his screen presence and emotional connect. Priyanka Chopra’s journey motivates me immensely. I admire Deepika Padukone’s grace and depth, and Alia Bhatt’s acting range and natural performances.

What are your views on politics and the current state of the country?

Avni Gupta: I’m not deeply interested in politics, but it’s important to stay informed about what’s happening in the country. As citizens, we should know what’s right and wrong. Personally, I support Prime Minister Narendra Modi. His leadership, global diplomacy, and handling of national challenges reflect strong governance.

Avani Kakekochh: I don’t align with any single party—I stand with Team India. India’s growth matters the most to me. Our GDP has doubled, we hosted global summits like G20, and India’s international image has strengthened. Sectors like green energy, automobiles, and aerospace are growing rapidly. Young professionals who once went abroad are returning due to better opportunities here. As a woman entrepreneur, receiving low-interest loans has been empowering. Startups are supported, public transport has improved, and initiatives like high-speed trains have boosted connectivity. India’s future looks strong and promising.

What message would you like to share with your fans?

Avni Gupta: The love, support, and blessings I’ve received from all of you are my greatest strength. This journey wouldn’t have been possible without you. I hope your support continues as I move forward.

Avani Kakekochh: We didn’t reach here in a month—this success is the result of years of hard work, patience, and perseverance. Believe in your dreams, trust yourself, and keep working relentlessly. I will need your love and support in the journey ahead.
