Miss P&I India 2025 National Contestants - Fun Q&A
Shristi Venu
1️. What does the P&I crown mean to you —
Power, Responsibility, or Legacy?
Answer-To me, the P&I crown is a love letter to my 8-year-old self who dreamt of pageants. It’s not just a title—it’s a responsibility to lead with empathy and purpose. Through my initiative Ekagrata, I aim to raise awareness for ADHD. This crown means power to bring change, responsibility to lead, and a legacy that lasts beyond me.
2️. Who is your favourite Miss P&I India winner from the Top 4?
Answer-"the most beautiful thing a women can wear is confidence" I absolutely adore all the four queens of Miss P&I 2024 however there's this one queen who's win felt personal, the one who captured my heart throughout her reign. A queen that was denied by a stereotypical international pageant but she didn't give up hope, she didn't break, she stood strong like a rock in tsunami. She flaunts every so called “imperfection” with pride. She celebrates everything that others might hide. Every single day I feel empowered because a queen like her is out there redefining pageantry. She is none other than Sanjana Shekharmantri our very own Miss Summit India. To me, she's the true epitome of confidence and an absolute inspiration as it's said "empowered women, empower women"
3️. If you had the power to create one change in the pageant industry, what would it be and why?
Answer-Pageants aren’t about objectifying women—they empower them. Sadly, stereotypes have kept many deserving women from embracing this stage. To me, pageantry is where the inner queen shines, where we inspire and create lasting impact. If I could change one thing, it would be to break these misconceptions and show the world the strength behind the crown.
