  All the officials had told us that our answers had to be truthful and coming from the heart. Nobody told us we had to be politically correct. I said what my heart told me and I lost. According to me, India has been in poverty for many years, so it was not going to suddenly change in one year by my becoming the prime minister. But there are other areas like art and sports in which we can improve. And being a sports girl I had suffered because we don’t have the equipment and the grounds in India. In the brief time you get to answer I wanted to say all this but perhaps because of my inadequacy in English, I could not express myself.”

There were around 50 beautiful models, with full makeup on, and they were surprised to see Madhu dressed up in a tracksuit.”

  He further added that Madhu lost the Miss Universe crown as she wished to open an athletic sports stadium in India while answering the question of the host on the stage as other contestants won the title as they talked about the poor and poverty in India.

  At the Miss Universe contest, Madhu has crowned Miss Universe in the trial round but she lost the crown in the finals because she spoke what was in her heart — that if she became the leader of her country, she would like to build the biggest stadium in the world, as India needed that.

After all, the film is such a field or you can say a career where unless and until you don’t expose you are nowhere. You could be a good actress but you must have seen there are so many girls who are trying to change their image to get that sexy and very wanted look. Otherwise, they know they have the talent but they don’t get noticed so I don’t know what they are talking about.”
