"Being a woman, it is a proud moment for me to celebrate the glory of women. For me, women are the most beautiful thing that can happen in anybody's life and nothing in this world can replace their charm and care," said Vanya, who won the PFMI World 2012 title.
The event, organised by Veet, featured a fashion show where Vanya walked the ramp along with PFMI International 2012 Rochelle and PFMI Earth 2012 Prachi.
Other models who had participated in the 2012 Miss India contest too walked the ramp. They all flaunted Mumbai-based designer Archana Kochhar's creations. A dance show was presented by a group of young girls and boys.
Also present was Farah Hussain, winner of Femina Miss beautiful legs 2012. She was honoured with a special award.
"I believe that to inspire beauty, we need to find confidence and beauty within. All we need to do is to believe in ourselves. Most beautiful girls are not the ones that have the prettiest face or perfect body, they are the ones who have their own unique style and attitude," Hussain told.
Kochhar wished luck to Miss India winners for their participation in forthcoming international competition.
"I wish these girls all the best and want them to bring the crown back in India as we haven't seen it happening for the past few years," Kochhar told.
