When I started this project, I realised that there is less awareness as far as menstrual hygiene is concerned and availability of sanitary napkins. Then I also realised that we need to make people aware about it.: #MissWorld2017 Manushi Chillar on menstrual hygiene project pic.twitter.com/BuIPzTwVRh

Chhillar has earlier been showered with praise for her answer in the final round where she was asked, “Which profession deserves the highest salary and why?” To which she replied, “I think a mother is of the highest respect. I don’t think its just about cash but love and respect she gives to someone. She is the biggest inspiration in my life. Mother should get the highest respect.”
