In a unique “chain reaction question session” on November 16, she tackled the thought-provoking question that Sushmita Sen famously addressed in the Miss Universe 1994 finale: “What does it mean to be a woman?” Acknowledging Sushmita’s iconic reply, which highlighted the nurturing aspect of women, Manika commended its straightforwardness and wisdom.

She characterized womanhood as something “infinite,” a unique trait that sets women apart.
Manika also made a striking fashion statement in one of the events, adorned in an exquisite Indian outfit crafted by Rajdeep Ranawat. The ensemble featured a deep black and navy lehenga, complemented by a gold-silver mirror-work choli. She completed her look with a beautifully embroidered navy jacket embellished with floral designs and intricate mirror work, exuding both regal and modern elegance.
Through her eloquence, authenticity, and elegant presence, Manika Vishwakarma is bolstering India's representation at Miss Universe 2025. Her insightful reinterpretation of a classic beauty pageant question has impressed global audiences, showcasing her depth, cultural pride, and confidence.
