Rannvijay Singha was the guest judge for the evening. All the judges cheered the contestants and upheld their morals during the evening.
Anita Dutta, entrepreneur and social activist who was one of the judges for the evening comments, “…pageants are just the platform where we don’t judge but give you the chances to improve yourself. The foremost thing is having confidence. The outlook doesn’t matter, the size, shape don’t matter in the modeling world. If you have the inner confidence and the boldness in you then you can just rock it.”
Throughout the evening the judges asked several questions to the contestants which allowed them to reveal their personalities better. From asking them to reflect on their life to topics like sacrifice, poverty, love, success, beauty, and more. To lighten the moment, Rannvijay also made the contestants display their talents in the form of dance, physique, and music.
