“Brave, Bold, Beautiful - That’s what Nepali women are to me. Ever since I was 7 years old, I dreamt of competing in pageants. I was proud to represent Nepal at the Miss Universe pageant in Las Vegas. Today, I am the National Director of the Miss Universe Nepal. Dreams can come true. And I want to ensure that all young Nepali women have the same opportunity I had and that, win or lose, we build pride in ourselves and in the country we represent.”
