Neha continued, “I did not think that it would be possible to wear this crown on stage again and relive one of the most precious moments of my life with my most precious people.”

Recounting her journey of 20 years, she added that she now stands “taller, stronger, more experience and a few dress sizes bigger”.

“Most importantly, I stood for every little girl who dares to dream and work hard towards it, for every daughter who wants nothing more than to make her parents proud, for every partner who bases their relationship on love and equality and for every mother who wants to live her dream and wants nothing more than to have her children by her side as she does that,” Neha said, sharing pictures of herself with Angad, her kids and her parents.

She concluded by saying, “Sometimes in life, even if we don’t have a crown…we all have our sparkle. Love Miss India 2002-2022.”

The actor opted for a stunning sequin gown for the occasion that featured a front slit and cape sleeves.
