00:00Hi, is this the first time that you are visiting India and Hyderabad?
00:15Yes, it is my first time but it won't be my last because Hyderabad and the hospitality
00:21here, I'm going to tell my family and friends back in Canada that we need to come back here.
00:25Are you going to take them here?
00:27I hope so and I hope to bring them back to the Trident Hotel.
00:30The staff have been so accommodating and the food has been delicious.
00:34Oh my goodness, I am really enjoying my time here.
00:37There are so many Indians that will come to the US and Canada.
00:40Canada is the most go-to place for Indians also.
00:43So have you found any persons there you met with them?
00:47Any Indians you met in Canada?
00:49Of course, there are many Indians in Canada and most recently I went to the Holly Festival
00:54with some of my Indian friends in the city of Ottawa.
00:57So I was able to experience the very vibrant and colourful traditions and celebrate with them.
01:02Did they give you any tips while you are coming to India?
01:05Yes, they told me to try the food and it has been so delicious.
01:11And also just take lots of pictures, enjoy every moment.
01:14Put on your running shoes because there will be lots of walking around
01:17and today we are going to go for more tours.
01:19We went to go visit the Charminar.
01:21So I am very glad I wore flat shoes so I could really enjoy the moment and not have to worry about tripping in my heels.
01:26So these are the bangles I think. So you bought it from Charminar, right?
01:32Is this the only pair that you bought or any other things?
01:35I bought these pairs and then I also got a purse that was gifted to me along with a very beautiful dish.
01:41And then also at our welcome dinner I was able to receive henna as well.
01:46So this is my first time getting henna and I love it. I hope it lasts very long.
01:51But I am so in love with the bangles. After the Miss World Festival is over, I am spending a couple more days here
01:57to really soak in Hyderabad with my family when they come and watch me.
02:01So I am going to go bring them to the La Bazaar by the Charminar.
02:04I wish you would go for much shopping there.
02:07Yes, I packed a whole other suitcase just to put my art and my shopping bags.
02:13So I have room in my suitcase for that purpose.
02:16Then you have to pay more at airport also.
02:18That's okay because, you know, it's not every day I get to visit India.
02:22So I want to make the most of it when I am here.
02:24So when you became Miss Canada and you announced that you are going to represent Canada in Miss World.
02:30How have you felt at that time?
02:32My time as Miss World Canada has been incredible.
02:35I was crowned Miss World Canada all the way back in November of 2022.
02:39So it was quite the journey.
02:41But as the first Indigenous woman to win Miss World Canada, I knew I wanted to make a lasting impact.
02:47So I worked very hard.
02:49I have completed over 100 Beauty with the Purpose events, spoken to over 10,000 students across Canada,
02:55and raised close to $10,000 for my own Beauty with the Purpose project.
02:59So my time at Miss World Canada has been nothing short of incredible.
03:03Actually, friends are our best critics, if you agree.
03:06So is there any particular friend who becomes your first critic?
03:10And what did they say when you mentioned that you are going for Miss World?
03:15I don't believe I received many criticisms, but more so support.
03:20I can't think of anything that has been a setback.
03:24Because my family and my friends have always encouraged me with whatever I've decided to do.
03:29So when I told the very first person that I wanted to compete at Miss World Canada, it was my dad.
03:35And he told me just to try my best, and he's always been there since day one.
03:40And in fact, he flew all the way from Canada with me to Hyderabad.
03:45He just left a couple days ago to make sure that I rise safely.
03:49And of course I did because the hospitality has been like no other here in India.
03:54So what are the things that you heard when you are in Canada about India?
03:58And how have you experienced the other things?
04:01That I will be arriving during peak summer.
04:04So I heard to prepare for the heat.
04:07But honestly, it's not as hot as I thought it was going to be.
04:11Being that I'm Canadian, we have more colder weather.
04:14So I was expecting to melt like a snowman.
04:17But I have been very, it's been pleasant.
04:20It hasn't been like very, very hot for me.
04:23So that was something that I was getting myself prepared for by people telling me to prepare for the heat.
04:29But it's been good so far. Yeah.
04:32Actually, it is raining from last four days. That's why the weather is a bit cold.
04:37Oh, okay. Good to know. Good to know.
04:39So what are the places other than Charna you visited here in Telangana particularly?
04:44The other places on the agenda are to be determined.
04:48But I really want to go see Romanji Film City.
04:51So I really hope that that is also on the agenda for Miss World.
04:55Because as an avid movie lover myself, I watch movies all the time.
05:00And I really can't wait to go there and just soak in the experience.
05:04And also learn more about Bollywood.
05:07Because it's not something that I grew up watching.
05:09But since I love movies, I want to dive deeper into Bollywood.
05:13So what is the best movie that you watch? Indian movies that you watch?
05:17You know, I haven't watched too many Indian films. But I plan to.
05:21After Romanji Film City, I'm sure I'm going to get lots of recommendations.
05:25And I have a 16 hour plane ride back to Canada.
05:28So I'll definitely be watching in and tuning in to more Indian movies on that flight.
05:33Thank you. Thank you so much.
05:35Thank you very much. Thank you.
