She praised my appearance, told me I carried myself well, and encouraged me to go international. That’s true greatness—when someone older is willing to lift you up instead of viewing you as competition. She’s still has so much grace. She learnt dancing, learnt to act in movies. She never left her culture. She’s still so grounded and very strong in her value system.”

Yukta Mookhey reveals she is still friends with the girls whom she met at the platform. added, “I never had that thing of jealousy in me ever that I have to put someone down. I’m still friends with the girls who were with me in Miss World because I developed such a genuine bonding. I never was into competition. At a personal level, I never had negativity in me. Miss Venezuela came and told me that she really wanted me to win. I feel blessed and fortunate about it. We had that grace and maturity at that time, all of us girls.

Yukta Mookhey is an actress and was seen in movies like ‘Pyaasa’, ‘Dil Main Jaanam’ and ‘Katputtli.’
