“Let’s get this crown and show the world true beauty that comes from within,” she said.
She aspired to be the first plus-size Miss Universe winner and won the title of Miss Nepal with what many attribute to her natural beauty and empowering statements.
“As a curvy woman who doesn’t follow certain beauty standards, I’m here to represent all women… I think there’s not one way to be beautiful, every woman is beautiful just as they are.”
