“After winning Miss World, I worked really hard to clear my medical entrance in college. I always wanted to be a doctor, I wanted to use the experience I got as Miss World and combine that with my medical degree. But life had other plans. I never thought I want to pursue acting as a profession.”

Going further in the interview, Manushi opened up about the enormous change in her life that she has seen, post lifting the Miss World crown. She reveals how she was just three-years-old when Priyanka Chopra had won the same title. Moreover, she highlights how she never had any experience of life in the glamour world before entering it. Speaking more on it, she added:
“So I didn’t even have first hand experience seeing the journey, how life changes. When I had that experience myself, I realised going back to college was not possible because you lose anonymity. You are popular, life changes. There’s a certain amount of privacy and anonymity you want as a student. As great a change this is in my life, it comes with a lot of love from people for something that happened to me.”
In the concluding segment of the interview, Manushi also spoke about the constant peak and scrutiny over her personal life that she has to endure, as a result of being in the film industry. She reveals that at the time when she was crowned Miss World, half of the things written about her were pure fiction. Moreover, she emphasised that she has never taken any of the rumours about her personal life in the media too seriously.
